Because we don’t have AI. We have algorithms putting words after another or pixels next to each other.
Better question is why we don’t use robots with specific algorithms to do those kinds of tasks.
We could if we wanted to. Not necessarily right now, but we’re pretty damn close. If all the damn billions we pour into the data centers putting words and pixels into order went into robotics, we’d have a world where no one had to get their hands dirty or risk an injury at work.
That would also make billionaires billionaires. But that would not stomp the regular folk down, and that’s the catch.
… It’s not “putting pixels next to eachother”. It’s figuring out how to filter noise to get it closer to what the prompt describes. Literally starts as noise, like an old TV that isn’t tuned to a channel. And then it applies a filter that it calculates will best get that noise closer to the tokens of the prompt. And then does it again and again and again
Regardless! Even if that investment went into healthcare, or a universal basic income…
Maybe we invest it into robotics to automate stuff. Or maybe we invest it into people.
Investing in people would be neat
But that will never happen until it is required to prevent collapse

but we need a million different robots with the same algorithm or the data they send back to the company will be useless
