AI is not really limited by speed. It is limited by learning. For AI to work it must be shown every possible image on every situation, then continue to the next phase and be taught every scenario again. An example: Tesla’s are “taught” what a stop sign looks like. It must be shown what they look like in 180 degree variations on both planes. You know what still fools the AI, a sticker anywhere on the sign, sunset/sunrise, or snow. You know why they can have spacecraft auto dock at the ISS, there is only one of them and there are only sunlight variations to overcome. AI is super useful for repetitive task type stuff, unpredictable variations, it literally gives up.
The magical 350 may make it seem the automation makes you redundant, that’s just because you used to have to do more. Unfortunately the automation just seems to eliminate hand flying, which goes back to our jobs being about decision making, luckily that can’t be so easily engineered.
