Ask HN: Have you personally witnessed a machine replace a human job?
I was recently inspired by this NYT article: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;04&#x2F;28&#x2F;technology&#x2F;meet-the-people-who-train-the-robots-to-do-their-own-jobs.html?_r=0<p>What are some of examples of your own experiences where you have seen AI and Automation replacing human jobs?<p>In my startup a big component of what we do is label recognition which is outsourced to a 3rd party Image Recognition as a Service provider. There are a team of people transcribing when the recognition has failed or been rejected, but over time as the vendor&#x27;s service gets better and better we will be able to do transcription with less people.
