No, the current pickup and delivery schedules are determined between the shipper and his customer. The company that owns the truck and employs the driver, is merely a contractor.
The shipper generally wants to ship as soon as possible, but his customer wants to receive the product, according to his schedule and available space. This is generally handled through a broker, who then finds a carrier who can accept the load and has/can have a driver and truck in the right location at the right time.
It's much more complicated than loading up the truck and going to deliver it.
So what I'm reading is there is a lot of inefficiency in shipping and more jobs to be eliminated.

How often does a driver have to wait for something? He's getting paid by the hour, robots don't get paid.

But making something like a robotic prostitute doesn't seem like the most straight-forward proposition. Mainly for physical limitations.

I do industrial HVAC. There is no way AI is taking that over anytime soon. Now with sensors and computers on the big units it does help with troubleshooting

My son is in architecture at Tech and I feel like that is a profession that’ll be mostly done by computers real soon.

I hope not.

I do this professionally any particular reason you think so? The softwares we use are pretty advanced but even the cutting edge stuff right now fricks up bigly without human correction.

AI cannot make the decisions a human can make.

quote:

Example:

Boy runs into street, you cant hit brakes to stop, and there is a mother and child in stroller on left, parked car on right. correct decision is hit parked car, AI cannot and won't be able to make that decision.
AI can make the right decision in this scenario 100 times out of 100. Humans can't.

Humans can only look in 1 direction at a time. Self-driving cars can look in all direction at all times.

Humans can see only visible light. Self-driving cars can see visible light, radar, lidar, and thermal/infrared.

Humans hear only what we want to hear, and we often drown out road noise with the radio/phone/etc. Self-driving cars can have multiple microphones on the exterior that don't get distracted or ever stop listening.

Human response time is about 250 ms best case, not upgradable, and worsens with fatigue and other impairments. AI response time is about 10 ms, is upgradable, and is consistent.

Human drivers can only communicate with each other with lights, honks, and hand signals, none of which convey a whole lot of information. Self-driving cars can talk to each other via radio, transmit as much data as required, instantly, and to multiple other vehicles simultaneously.



So, not only can AI discern the difference between a human and a parked car and make the correct life-saving decision, but it can do so with superhuman response time. Additionally, the AI will have been aware of the boy's presence long before he ran into the street, and will have been tracking his position, speed, and direction the entire time, avoiding the need to make a last-second decision to begin with. The boy, mother and child, and parked vehicle are all saved.

People thought teaching could be replaced with AI. But Covid taught us most students need face to face instruction with an adult.

Customs broker. AI can't understand the nuances of different commodities without asking the right questions. Also, we have to deal with FDA, NHTSA, ADD/CVD and numerous other government guidelines.

since you asked, every building is generic AF now. I think they’ll always need architects like I.M. Pei, etc. But I think (I’m not an architect) within a few years, 90% of buildings will probably be able to be generated by a computer.

This was the big one for me. You don't even need a fully featured system when AI starts doing porn gonna put those onlyfans hoes out of business.

This is completely unrelated to the topic, but I really hate the acronym "AI" in all caps. It often looks like we are talking about some dude named Al at initial glance. Can we all agree to use "Ai"?

Maybe overall conceptual designs. There are A LOT of details that go into even small projects as far as construction types/connections/finishes. I can totally see it overtaking schematics especially for large scale premier artistic projects. But idk there’s a lot of details and AI seems to struggle in minute varying details.

I’ll be honest a lot of predictions strike me as us being on the beginning of an adoption curve of a new technology that appears exponential and people are anticipating exponential growth to continue in perpetuity and are basically predicting doom and gloom as a result.

I think it equally likely this new technology and its adoption follows a sigmoid curve and hits a plateau somewhere. Where that is nobody knows, but I’m not willing to throw in the towel and predict total obsolescence of humanity just yet.

I think the biggest hurdle is the legal one, because I think people will settle for a terrible product in that space

Pharmacy and healthcare jobs will be the last to go. Can’t trust those robots to fight their instincts to not kill us all.
