Honestly people are trying to desperately to automate physical labor to. The problem is the machines don't understand the context of their work which can cause problems. All the work of AI is a result of trying to make a machine that can. The art and humanities is more a side project

I believe that i read a title in my local news about AI being implemented in this country's tax system and evaluation of cancer patients. I could try to find a link although it would be in a different language.

The art and humanities is more a side project

I'll add:

A side project that isn't a life or death situation like most of those physical labor things you're talking about. Art isn't also bound or constrain by rules and regulations like those jobs and if the AI fails at art then there's no problem. Nobody would care.

Besides, if it fails at art it might even create something we never thought

this is fundamentally the opposite of what generative AI does. its fail state is basically regurgitating its training data intact.

So... art is essentially failing ahaha.

Yeah pretty much. I think. I am no art connoisseur though. If I see pretty drawings or images or whatever, I like.

Nothing wrong in automating tasks that previously needed human labour. I would much rather sit back and chill, and let automation do my bidding

If only the people in control of the wealth would let the rest of us chill while the machines do all the labor.

that's a social problem, not technology's fault.
