AI Has a Place for You

Quote of the Day

In systems engineering terms, reliability improves most when the human is treated as a probabilistic cognitive processor surrounded by deterministic support systems that compensate for the specific interface properties humans satisfy poorly. The human remains in the loop, but the interface contract is reshaped to fit human strengths rather than forcing human behavior to approximate software.*

I thought people would like to know AI still sees a place for you in their new world order. There, you feel better, right? You know the future still has a job for you as a probabilistic cognitive processor.

At least for now.

* This was part of the response to this query:

When a human is the physical implementation of a logical component of a Security Operations Center, what are the interface specification elements that are hardest to satisfy consistently and what would it take to make that implementation more reliable without necessarily replacing the human with automation?

  1. What will the AI do with the humans that aren’t well-functioning probabilistic cognitive processors? Just say out loud “Maybe socialism could work” and you’ll be recycled as fertilizer promptly.

  3. I asked Gemilni “How many MRI machines are currently operating in Cuba, and who gets to use them?”
    A response appears, then vanishes is about 2 seconds. Is this an unpopular question?

  4. The bottom line is that, in the end, AI work is produced for humans, and is consumed by humans.

    We will not do well if we lose sight of that.

    I foresee a future with a return to retro. Love entertainment, live music, live stage shows. AI can’t do that; automation can’t do that. And why will there be demand for this?… Because the AUDIENCE is human. They will want to identify with the performers.

    Don’t write us off just yet.

  5. That’s a rich reply from an LLM, which is a probabilistic itself.

    Socrates was right: “Know Thyself”
