A printing press is not a technology with intelligence. It's like saying we still have to manually operate knives... of course we do.

    the comment I originally replied to claimed AI will design the autonomous machines.

    It will not. It will facilitate some of the research done by humans to aid in the designing of willfully human operated machinery.

    To my knowledge the only autonomous machine that exists is a roomba, which moves blindly around until it physically strikes an object, rotates a random degree and continues in a new direction until it hits something else.

    Even then, it is controlled with an app and on more expensive models, some boundary setting.

    It is extremely generous to call that "autonomy."

    I was in a self-driving taxi yesterday. It didn't need to bump into things to figure out where it was.

    Fair, I thought they all got recalled but I guess they're back. but I'd also counter that Waymo is extremely limited about where it can operate - roughly 10 miles max - which, relevant to my original point was entirely hand-mapped and calibrated by human operators, and the rides are monitored and directed by a control center responding in real-time to the car's feedback.

    Like my printing press example - it still takes a large human team to operate the "self" - driving car.
