I disagree, AI or Supercomputing in problem solving for business, science etc. is already there but
it hasn't lead to widespread job loss. There's still a need for experts and human brilliance
and with discussions like this people tend to think AI would making thinking obsolete.
A lot of the use for AI or really computers today is they do the calculations and then humans interpret it.
I think that'll continue to be the trend until we create some "Super AI" that thinks for people, that's the real
argument here. It's whether or not a computer will supplant humanity as far as being thinking and creative beings
and thus "Solve problems".
Again, we're seeing moore's law fail as processors get smaller and smaller and more and more expensive to make.
If we plan for computers to ever "match" and "surpass" us in a decade and some change, a lot would have to change.
Economically, Technologically and so on.
Here's the thing, what people are born into today is the "floor." If we think the work AI's can do is at a cap today, it's the "ground" for someone else. They will make improvements, it's what we've been doing from day one. You ask somebody 200 years ago about smartphones and they'd laugh. I expect the same thing with algorithms. Machines are learning right now from repeated exposure, but eventually people will keep pushing the envelope to making machines being able to theorize/have "aha" insights.
The "concept" of "creation" itself is a very mysterious thing. When you think about it, we're living flesh with complex systems created from rocks banging around.
