Being a doctor would be a real job, but the only jobs I've seen actually getting replaced are things like clickbait content farms, scams, marketing, exploitive gambling-centric video games, and other such garbage. Unlike being a doctor it's never been hard to shit that stuff out into the world. And since these neural networks aren't actually that good, I'll believe they can replace doctors when I see it.

You haven't heard of good writing and good artwork being replaced by AI?

I've seen some pretty interesting images and some funny text but nothing that amounts to a big enough vision that it's something cohesive like a complete movie or a book. I've seen Joel Haver videos but those aren't made by pushing a button and getting a video.

Replaced implies humans are no longer writing or creating art, which obviously isn't the case. They just have more competition now.

I'll believe they can replace doctors when I see it.

And when that day comes we're not going back.
