Survey

[Florence Fennel]

It's a worry for a lot of our staff who work in the admin field particularly regarding voice activated correspondence - especially when they get the spell check right!

[Nicos]

Done......


This reply comes to you from my very own automated response system...rebooted using a mug of tea

[Small pumpkin]

Also done.

All the answers are right there. We are all screwed

[Bren In Pots]

Another survey done

[gardening_gal]

My garden AI would probably scour the net for strange and unusual veg and start going "Oooh look at this - shiny shiny"

Shows how dumb I am, because I thought AI stood for Artificial Insemination and I wasn't sure about being followed around the garden by something with a whatever they use

I'm sat here laughing. Great way to start the day, thanks guys!

[Tripmeup]

Done and best of luck to him

Unfortunately Jay-ell - AI (robotics) will probably replace most of the human workforce involved in the commercial fruit & veg game.

Without wanting to come across as a crackpot - there is a real fear on the future job situation regarding current developments in this area.

Thank you for those links Kevin, I have given them to my son.

Because of you all he has lots of responses, otherwise it would've just been a few of my friends and family so many thanks for your support and to this brilliant forum xxx

Done, and although I'm technically retired I do some work for a a couple of local businesses so I answered yes.

If he needs to run another survey I'm sure we'll all help out again.
I'm interested to know what conclusions he makes from the survey results and what happens next!

[ESBkevin]

Done. (Space because the real answer is too small and needs 10 chars).

My son got 100 results for his survey which was exactly what he wanted but didn't actually expect to get, he has closed it now but asked me to say thank you again and to say he is very impressed with many of the answers he received, he says he didn't realise gardeners were also so interested and knowledgeable about technology. That's mainly because he's used to me and Mr V! The least techno types ever haha!

[Verinda]

Just for your interest.

My son sent off loads of emails to scientists with questions about artificial intelligence. So far two have replied, the first one said we have nothing to fear because after all they will be designed to help us and will improve our lives. This made us feel better.

But the next reply said we have a lot to fear because they will end up doing many of the jobs normally done by us leaving lots of people out of work which will cause problems. Furthermore they will need lots of energy which will use up all our resources!

Not so reassuring!
