I agree with you, but work is being done. The problem is that AI isn't AGI. So a robot that can pick strawberries (exists, is in commercial use) cannot also pick apples (also a robot in commercial use). The apple robot needed its own R&D cycle. Grapes are different again, and olives, and lemons, and cherries, and almonds... And that's just horticulture. In a highly diversified economy, it is going to take multiple decades and person-millenia of effort for the AI we have to show much impact. |

It's just that in my eyes nobody is seriously trying to change the shape of the area. But I already admitted in a sibling (and much longer) comment that I am not well informed in the area -- and to be fair I don't aim to be.
I am just kind of getting disappointed that no real and tangible results are visible in society. What will the apple- or cherry-picking robots achieve save for leaving people without education jobless? Again? And they already struggle to find work anyway.
I am aware that most of us are slaves to the wage. But it's still saddening that nobody seems to take a stand and try and work on (a) something with a bigger and better social impact and (b) not laser-focused on short-term profit.
