Improving HCI by Applying AI.
If you read any of “the year ahead” predictions for 2019, or even ones from the last few years, one thing you’ll undoubtedly come across is that Robots or AI will eventually take everyone’s job… maybe not today, or tomorrow, but eventually. I personally don’t buy this line of thinking, and think that Marc Andreessen had it ‘mostly’ right in a post he wrote way back in 2014: “This is probably a good time to say that I don’t believe that robots will eat all the jobs…”
One of the most interesting topics in modern times is the “robots eat all the jobs” thesis. It boils down to this: Computers can increasingly substitute for human labor, thus displacing jobs and creating unemployment. Your job, and every job, goes to a machine.
