将“人工智能自动化‘重复性’工作的荒谬想法”
这只是一个人们喜欢的叙述，因为它听起来很美好。或者说，这可能是因为它让人工智能听起来不那么威胁，甚至显得更容易接受。“别担心，人工智能只会取代你工作中重复的部分。”但是，如果你花一点时间去审视这个叙述，你会意识到它是多么荒谬。
人类已经找到了自动化重复的物理和数字劳动的方法，我们已经用机器和计算技术做了几十年甚至几个世纪。简单来说：如果是重复的工作，那么你根本不需要人工智能来自动化它。
事实上，我们希望人工智能自动化的任务恰恰是那些不重复的任务。这正是人工智能的初衷。
我们是如何从人工智能的最初目的转变为声称它将做我们已经做了几十年的事情的？这些叙述来自哪里，为什么人们会相信它们？

This is just one of those narratives that people latch onto because it has a nice ring to it. Or maybe it’s because it makes AI sound less threatening and perhaps even palatable. “Don’t worry. AI is going to replace only the repetitive parts of your job.” But if you spend even a minute examining this narrative, then you will realize just how preposterous it is.<p>Humans have already figured out how to automate repetitive physical and digital labor, and we’ve been doing it for decades and even centuries by using machines and computing. Simply put: If it’s repetitive, then you don’t need AI to automate it.<p>In fact, the kinds of task we want AI to automate are precisely those that AREN’T repetitive. That was the whole god damn point of AI.<p>How did we go from the original purpose of AI to claiming that it will do what we’ve already been doing for decades? Where do these narratives come from, and why do people fall for them?
