Who knows what the British government acutally means when they say ‘AI’? I doubt they do.
And I assume there is a sliding scale from what I described my excel speadsheet is capable of today, to whatever it is they hope AI will eventually interpret. And in fact barring the inevitable fuckups AI probably can eventual handle a lot of interpretation currently carried out by human civil servants.
But honestly I would have thought that all of this is obvious, and that I shouldn’t really have to articulate it.
My main point is that they claim they will save one million jobs (so sack one million people) and this will somehow boost the UK economy. I don’t see how it can.
Covid really showed that most jobs are not essential. I would suggest most jobs exist because the people exist to do them: a situation an increasingly small number of people have got themselves into a position to profit from.
What happens when AI takes away swathes of bullshit jobs but the people still exist? Silicon valley is hoping to make AI functional enough essentially leave somebody else holding the bag, after emptying it of goodies. For some reason, the UK government seem to think this will be a boost to the UK economy: I’ll assume basic cluelessness until I see some other reasonable suggestion.

you keep making claims about what LLMs are capable of that don’t match with any known reality outside of OpenAI and friends’ marketing, dodging anyone who asks you to explain, and acting like a bit of a shit about it. I don’t think we need your posts.
You should not need an AI to do that if it’s not a freeform text input?
