What are you talking about? They will measure it wrong 3 times, cut it wrong while saying it’s correct.

Are we talking about the AI or the contractor?
Yes
Both. Technically all three.
- The general purpose AI unsuited to the task.
- The untrained contractor directing the AI.
- The soulless profit-bot AI that manages the contractor.
Then try to fill the space with glue, to then conclude it needs to wipe everything and start over, removing the earth in the progress
just ignore the massive pile of fixodent in my garage that used to be a car
That would be ideal.
That’s literally what they do lol
I assure you it can give you three different measurements from the same picture then go on to explain why it’s okay to eat the plywood.
Phenomenal
Have you seen AI with numbers? It doesn’t calculate, it just trying to give a statistically-likely answer (just like it does for every other next-word in its answer).
Some of them have to drop back to deterministic software tools (and even then sometimes they’re called with incorrect parameters because “intent” lol)
AI already emulates dumbasses it just got no legs. Don’t worry though, soon they’ll give it legs and guns. Nothing can go wrong guys. trust me bro the future is now
I can see AI measuring something 3 times and cutting it wrong, more than I can see AI measuring things once and cutting it right.
I feel like that’s what AI specializes in

The problem is that you measured 3 times everyone knows you only measure twice and cut once
Hell, ai does that already
You’re right to push back! I removed your lung, not your appendix.
The only thing hindering AI from taking 99% of the jobs is that robotic engineers still can’t create a robot with the same level of dexterity as human hands.
I mean, I would add to this list:
- Humans are way cheaper to recruit, maintain, and produce. Robots only compete on their potential for sociopathicly blind loyalty.
- Computers are deeply fucking stupid in ways that most normal humans cannot even understand, until something tragic happens directly to them, as a reuslt. (And no, AI hasn’t fixed this. It put a really cool looking coat of razor thin paint over it.)
Counterpoint. Robots build cars almost entirely on their own.
I’d like to see AI change blinker fluid or bring the foreman a bucket of steam
Wouldn’t even know where to find a left handed screw driver
My favorite is having the new guy hold a bucket behind someone else using a grinder, to collect sparks for the spark plugs.
So nonsensical and yet so many people fall for it.
this is like my new favorite wikipedia article, the examples are so funny https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fool's_errand
i’d like to see ai measure something 3 times and get 4 different numbers
The furure is now.
if it gets me a kitten asleep on my lap i’ll take it
Can AI shit post on Lemmy while pretending to work? Didn’t think so.
You don’t pay be to be busy 100% of the time, you pay be to be 100% busy sometimes.
Aw hell nah
Hey, why don’t you try cutting your dimensional lumber with a gas-powered chainsaw and be more accurate, eh?
AI does it five times, in my experience.
correction: it claimed to do it 5 times. (it did 0 times)
Meanwhile ChatGPT setting a timer:
I mean… it absolutely will get it wrong.
Having a whole in your roof is a classic construction gotcha.
