Multi-Tasking Burnout: A Major, Unspoken Reason For The Push Of A.I.?

#1

Although I don’t agree with the liberal bent of the video, the results of what multi-tasking does to the brain and consequently, to the body is spot on!

After years of working high-pressure jobs in O&G, I can tell you, once in retirement, the ‘rest’ is more of a collapse. One engineer actually died in his office while sitting at his desk; his admin asst thought he was napping at lunch, as many tended to do.

The point is that whomever are the masterminds behind this A.I. revolution know this, and probably have known it for a long, long time. Young people are already burned out from social media, not to mention watching their Boomer parents crater at the number of tasks that had to be done. Just cruise the ads on any job board; “multi-tasking” in most every one of them.

I know it’s been mentioned before, but is this the real reason for A.I.? Can A.I. also be overtasked and blow a fuse too?

@beaver do you know off hand if AI can read or decipher cursive handwriting? Someone recently told me to never address an envelope in cursive handwriting because if a younger person gets a hold of it they can’t read it and will throw the envelope away. I know they stopped teaching cursive in the 1990s (not sure exactly when) and I wonder what their reasoning was for this?

I don’t know if AI can read cursive or not.
It seems for now that cursive is making a comeback. Scroll down to see the map in the article.

I guess that answers my question, Thanks!

“ Some educators are in support of both, noting the development of handwriting recognition apps, like Google Handwriting Input, Pen to Print, or WritePad for iPad, which can scan and digitize handwritten notes.”
