Just like older vehicles too. I want something I can work on and that I’m familiar with. I don’t want bad sensors or faulty wiring harnesses getting in the way of me troubleshooting and fixing the problem. I don’t need power windows; heated and cooled seats; 97 position seats with memory for all the family; a radio with satellite, internet, and Bluetooth; or power mirrors and running boards. I just need a dependable piece of equipment that does it’s job, which is work. I don’t need pre-programmed features that will farm for me, the way some programmer thinks it should (FYI, I appreciate the hell out of what programmers do and respect the position).

I fully support this. Deere and others could easily allow access to most data and lock down other parts so it couldn’t be reflashed or modified. We are Deere people and simple keep our older tractors well maintained and will not be getting new. It leads to another phenomenon that is not specific to the tractor industry, that customers only take a vehicle in for warranty work due to the labor rate, and use independent mechanics for after warranty work. There is often a 100 dollar an hour difference in labor rate.

And it wasn't even specifically trained for this. It's just knowledge/skill it happened to have picked up from the training data.

I can't wait to see what a LLM can do when it's is specifically trained on all medial text.

A lot of professionals are going to have some amazing tools to make their jobs easier within a few years. They could definitely make fewer of those professionals needed.

Could many doctors be replaced with AI and some medial techs? Could this make healthcare finally affordable? We'll see.

AI will take jobs, it will be bad AI and give bad service.

The risk here is in declining service, not AI directly. We are already being trained to accept bad service. Call centre staff with no authority and who don't care are doing this today. AI will have less authority and zero humanity.

Good luck arguing with your Tesla when it won't allow the brakes cause your credit card declines.

You will die, short by AI police, after blasting through a bunch of pedestrians - all the while knowing your feedback is important and that you are a valued consumer

If only I had shit loads of money and a lot of space...

Imagine the profits you would make buying the very last "high end" (think ST/RS/SVT/M/AMG) of every ICE car produced as close to 2035 as possible... They will be completely priceless in the future.
