No one here is saying AI has reduce their workload so now they spend half their time catching butterflies.
The answers are all saying that AI has automated some mundane task that wasn't particularly important, and now they can spend their time doing something more interesting.
Is the changes to their role, multiplied by millions of employees, actually better for humanity or society?
In a way, this is what Doctorow is arguing: where is the data showing the productivity gains.
My follow up question is, how are these productivity gains being used, if they exist.
This is another answer that misunderstands my question. It's changed your job but has it improved the quality of life of the public served by your office ?
There's no evidence that the Gaza protests are what led to the souring opinion on Israel. There's also no evidence that the souring opinion on Israel has saved any Gazan lives. None at all.
It seems like Israel has achieved what it set out to in Gaza and has moved on to other targets. What a great victory you have achieved.
Besides which, I don't have a problem with Gaza protests in general, but protesting outside democrat campaign events is just plain dumb. Absolute stupidity.
That's a straw man. I don't have any issue with Gaza protesters.
I just don't understand why you would use your protest to undermine democratic candidates.
Why not protest outside republican events? That would certainly be more impactful.
In the history of these American protest movements, which of them were successful by protesting outside events of government candidates trying to get elected ?
Of Trump and Kamala, which do you think the people of Gaza would have preferred as president?
The Gaza protests at the last election were an absolute farce. An absolute win for the Trump campaign. If they weren't planned by the Trump campaign then they should have been.
It's intended use was misinformation but perhaps not in the way you imagine.
Rather than producing credible images, these sorts of projects undermine actual credible images.
For example, if you're team zion, then when shown images of how devastating Israel's attack on Gaza has been you can just disregard them as "probably fake".
"Oh pish posh, a child can create these images on google maps".
Hah. ooh good one. What a clever snarky joke you have made. An epic burn if you will. well done.
I see Doctorow's post has summoned an army of AI dweebs, so I will leave you to your witticisms.
