Have had a couple of AI job applications received recently. Can really only tell because the job is quite unusual and some aspects of it sound like it’s a different job if you don’t know the full ins and outs. if the applications were for the job they thought they were they’d be very good.

I spoke to a Swedish mate in the South of France, recently, who's lived there happily working as a Swedish /English translator for universities, legal documents, wills, helping police/customs with detained suspects, etc.

His workload is dropping rapidly and he thinks he's screwed ...

... AI can do the work in minutes that takes him hours.

I know a Romanian translator who says they now get sent AI translations to check over rather than the original docs just sense check really so an hour or two of work rather than a day or two.

I am leading a large digital transformatiom programme currently (posh title for better use of IT). AI is a biggish part of it, but not a really big part of it to be fair. We have settled, quite confidently, on the view AI cannot replace human intelligence. We do believe it can augment it though. We talk about using AI to augment humans, never reduce of replace. This is supported a lot by emerging research about where the boundaries of AI sit.

Some examples. We use a lot of AI in automation of workload. So we take task that would be done by humans, sat in an office, or a workshop, that are really low value tasks. We at the same time have people then deciding what high value tasks this now free time can be used to do. In my sector that is nearly always proving to be talking to people / customers. It is amazing when you go and talk to your customers, who in my case are often younh people, they will tell you what would make their experience better is seeing and talking to someone else about a problem or a thing, who has empathy with it. Generative chat, like ChatGPT, falls short in a lot of areas. It is very good for some things, but in a real world chat it is miles off what a human can do when chatting. It has no sense of emotion or body language. It can only deal in out of date facts currently. There are definite uses, but again only ever to augment us, not to replace us.

Personally I think AI is nothing to worry about. It will have a place, but the human brain will always be several steps ahead. We will adapt to these capabilities, use them, and find ways for humans to add greater value. With any luck it will allow us more time to create things of real beauty again. I was at Stratford and watched Julius Caesar on Saturday and no AI can produce the sort of joy or delight that can.
