This week's comic, inspired by a study showing that AI summaries on top of search results are dramatically cutting traffic to websites.

Marques Brownlee has put up a video about a US$20,000 robot. The company behind it claims it can do a whole range of household tasks 'through the power of AI', and will be delivered next year.

They even demonstrated a prototype to a journalist.

And the entire demonstration was being remotely controlled by a human operator.

And the company admits that, other than one or two simple tasks like opening a door, all tasks will be completed by a remote human operator. Those tasks will need to be scheduled in advance.

So.

Assuming this thing can be put into mass production, a huge if, it's basically a mechanical Turk.

Mark my words.

If this thing makes it to market, and that's a big if, the operators will be in a low-wage country.

It will almost exclusively be a way for rich white Americans to have human servants do their chores, without them being in their house.

The above article makes me think of the quote from Cory Doctorow @pluralistic@mamot.fr :

“AI is the asbestos we are shovelling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations.”
