There is a lot of debate these days about what jobs will still be around once our AI overlords take over. Well, one possible new job will be real-life Dr. Susan Calvins from the I, Robot series of short stories written by Isaac Asimov.
What Reddit thinks Dr. Susan Calvin looks like.
It could be that once you can no longer rage-quit out of an argument with your Knowledge Navigator that you’re going to have find a different way to fix your “relationship” with your Navi.
Of course, the usual caveats about the possibility of the Singularity making all of this moot apply. But, if the Singularity and the accompanying ASI doesn’t happen, then LLMs with infinite memory could be a real issue with real problems that have to be solved.
As an aside, I still think Phoebe Waller-Bridge would be a great Dr. Susan Calvin. She very much fits what I imagine the character looking and acting like in my imagination. There are many, many I, Robot short stories for Amazon to use as the basis of a series about Dr. Calvin.
