New Study Says Artificial Intelligence Still Too Costly To Replace Most Human Jobs::Artificial intelligence is still costly to replace most human jobs, according to a study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.The MIT Beyond AI Exposure study said, “Machines will steal our jobs” is a sentiment frequently expressed during times of rapid technological change. “Such anxiety has re-emerged with the creation of large language models (e.g. ChatGPT, Bard, GPT-4) that show considerable skill in tasks where previously only human beings showed proficiency,” it said Monday.

    The title (click bait as it is) withholds the most important qualifier from the text of which AI we are talking about:

    "“Overall, our model shows that the job loss from AI computer vision, even just within the set of vision tasks, will be smaller than the existing job churn seen in the market […]”

    Sure, computer vision is important for some jobs, but it’s a much smaller subset of jobs that is really deemed protected as claimed by the study. If the knowledge has already been coded to text on the other hand, it’s a different story.
