>Remember the AI that was profiling potential criminals?

Oh, it doesn't sound like you are the "rational half" of society either.

I can definitely predict the risks of who will become a criminal by zip code. Predicting crime isn't as important as mitigating the problems that lead to crime.

Feelings are important. If people feel bad, you need to convince them, or, maybe have some empathy.

It's not everyone being entitled. Some people don't feel any control or listened to. And the point of not having "bias" is because cold hard logic can create bias. If for instance, you ONLY hire people who might 'fit the culture in tech support' -- then the bias would inherently look at who already has tech support jobs and who already goes to college for it. So, you have more of those demographics and reinforce the problem.

It's not necessarily LOGIC -- it's about what you are measuring and your goals. What is the "outcome" you want? If you ONLY go on merit, sometimes you don't allow for people to get skills that didn't yet have merit. Kids will parents who went to college do better in college -- so, are you going to just keep sending the same families to college to maximize who logically will do better? No. The people enjoying the status quo already have the experience -- but, what does it take to get other people up to speed? Ideally, we can sacrifice some efficiency now, for some harmony. And over time, hopefully it doesn't matter who gets what job.

Society and the common good are not something we are factoring in -- and THAT looks like putting your finger on the scale.

It will be interesting to see how some of those ideas pan out. Ai lawyer will definitely be put to the test quickly with the fastest law suits to decide if it will be legal or smart to have an ai that can create legal docs. As for writing we have already seen you can’t patent work created by ai, and my assumption is search engines will learn to identify and de rank ai written articles.

When you work at a law firm, the AI doing the work of artists and writers, you might be able to tell them; "Be flexible, find another career."

When you hear about an AI creating legal documents and helping people in court. "Everybody sue this guy!!!!" Hey, and you could probably use an AI Lawyer to write that lawsuit -- make sure to send a LOT of them. Bankrupt the business before they can test it out!

I agree, the same way Doctors would use AI to diagnose patients because of the way the AI could access the entirety of human medical knowledge to make its suggestions. No reason why Lawyers and Judges could not do the same right now.

Over time the AI could earn more and more trust to where we might give up on those people and listen to the AI.
