And it's just messy, complicated things.

job with a lot of surfaces and dealing with patients and all this kind of stuff in the context of it.

So I guess I don't actually know that by that definition, AI has made a huge amount of dent yet.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Andrej Karpathy β€” AGI is still a decade away

But some of the jobs maybe that I would be looking for have some features that I think make it very amenable to automation earlier than later.

Dwarkesh Podcast

As an example, call center employees often come up, and I think rightly so, because call center employees are

have a number of simplifying properties with respect to what's automatable today.

Dwarkesh Podcast

Their jobs are pretty simple.

So basically, you do want to bring in the task horizon, how long it takes to perform a task.

And then you want to also remove context, like you're not dealing with different parts of services of companies or other customers.

Dwarkesh Podcast

Andrej Karpathy β€” AGI is still a decade away

So I would be looking for those things.
