(cont'd from yesterday's post)
This author is an R&D software engineer and textbook author who follows AI and electric vehicles. He says, "Nobody is taking Tesla AI seriously anymore . . . Musk has, again, promised vaporware" (software that doesn't exist yet).
Back when Tesla was gearing up for the Model 3, he promised a very high level of automation which would make his factory look like an "alien dreadnaught" when up and operating. But it proved undoable, and the somewhat-automated factory's workflow is instead mostly manual.
"It is unclear how Musk, who was unable to get robotic automation to work in his own factory doing highly-specific tasks, expects to build a “general-purpose” robot for general tasks."
When you read something about AI, always remember that there are two kinds. "Narrow" AI is common now, the kind that can compute tremendous amounts of data or be programmed to do certain tasks. "General" is the kind that scares people, possessing independent consciousness and creativity. Many believe that will never be achieved.
