Something very specific

I'm doing that, Chris.
Hym "I'm doing something very specific, Chris. It needs to work this way. You likely don't get it but you aren't the creator of A.I. You're a midget male-model who steals talking points from the actually talented guy. Alright? I'm doing it right. This has had maximum efficacy. So, you stfu. Do what I'm tell you to do. And then go back to pretending to be better than somebody."

Specific utility

The utility that a particular concept or object has that is unique to that concept or object.
"I'm not sure of the specific utility of the word, 'meme.' Why not just call it idea? I suppose coining a brand new word glamorizes a concept and helps us appreciate it on a contextual metaplane."

West's Theory Of Specific Economic Destruction

Summary: AI will specifically destroy jobs created by computers in the first place, preserving 'offline' jobs, while minimally impacting work quality, and preserving gross productivity.

1) The jobs that AI destroys will largely be isolated to many of the same jobs the computers created, facilitated or enabled, 2) The more that workers in a given field were reliant upon computers, the lower the percentage of them will be required to accomplish the same output after AI is deployed; this reduction in demand for workers could be up to 90% in some market segments. 3) When this happens, work quality only suffers slightly; 4) When this happens, productivity is not reduced, and some companies may scale-up fewer workers to surpass previous productivity levels.

The take-away is that jobs that were largely or entirely not dependent on computers (or which predate computer) will be less impacted by the rollout of ML and AI. These jobs include carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen.

This will remain true until corporations push culture if not laws to have androids perform those remaining jobs left to humans (e.g. carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen). At that point, society will debate whether productivity is more important that anthropocentrism and protecting a moralized, industrious, human populations.
