we don't even know how WE understand abstraction. so there is no way to program it. but as an example if you ask an AI "do you live in a computer" it won't really know how to answer that question. However if you asked a human "do AI live in a computer", most would immediately understand what you were asking. it is an abstraction.
Much of how we communicate is through abstraction, we just don't realize it. an AI wouldnt have any idea what to do. another example would be a "drive through" it is an abstraction. Humans know what it is, but an AI would be clueless. It could recognize what the window looked like it various form and shapes. but what if you pulled up to a restaurant and the line was 30 cars deep with a man standing in the middle of a parking lot waiting to take your order? you would know exactly where to go. but not an AI

no it isnt, it still has no ability to understand abstraction, this is required for general intelligence.

who makes all of those robots? and who services the robots? and who makes the parts to make the robots? and who mines the ore to make the parts?

>But in a future where tech has taken away most jobs, tech will also be able to mass produce housing, food and transportation for pennies on today's dollar. Another counter to inflation.
tech wont take most jobs. that is a pipe dream. who do you think builds and services the tech that build the houses? and creates the parts to build the tech? and digs up the ore to build the parts? and surveys the land to find the ore to build the parts? and generates the energy to be able to do all of this?
people will rule the world until their is a machine that can be powered by plant life and protein. until then tech will play second fiddle to man. the energy alone to create the future in your head is unobtainium, unless every man, woman, and child is working.
tech is only good at specific tasks. the sooner people realize that the sooner they will understand the role tech will play in the future. which is about the same as the one it plays right now.

>By this kind of logic, everyone having a job or being on social security should be responsible for MASSIVE inflation.
what!? lol. no.
the reason UBI would cause inflation is because it would essentially set a floor for wages and also allow non productive citizens to continue to purchase. this is a recipe for hyperinflation.
so if the UBI minimum wage was set at $15 everyone making under $15 would quit their jobs and simply stay at home. However they would still have the purchasing power they did when they were working.
When all these people quit it would create shortages in the labor market, thus creating shortages in supply, thus causing inflation. this alone would cause inflation, but in order to "fix" the problem companies would have to start paying $30 per hour to incentivize people to work. this would in turn drive the price you pay up, and on top of all that, all the excess money in the system due to people that are now staying home but making money, would shortly lead to hyperinflation.
UBI wont work

UBI can't work as it will cause MASSIVE inflation, rendering it useless. anything they would do to fix it would just accelerate the inflation until we reached hyperinflation.

i totally agree with this guy. most people dont understand how AI even work. fundamentally AI are really really dumb.

i remember when we were supposed to be entering into an ice age in the 80's. they freaked out then and nothing ever happened, i think they are freaking out for nothing again.

duh, humans are just biological machines evolved to be efficient

i would venture to guess you didn't really present it with a true abstraction.
