Bentway,
AI will even be coming for YOUR job.
I want to meet whoever comes up with an AI that will replace my job. I want to know how the creators of said AI did it.

There was a design verification tool that I used a long time ago back at Intel in Oregon. It was called "Darwin," and it was supposed to use "genes" and "evolution" in order to come up with the best random test vectors that found the most hidden bugs.

Needless to say, it wasn't very successful. These days, even random vectors have to be directed by humans in where they test and what gets covered. And even then, the random vectors are still not very intelligent other than in how well us engineers can craft them.

If you can come up with an AI that can figure all of that out, more power to you.

P.S. - Same goes with computers trying (without any advantages) to beat humans in strategy games like Civilization, Starcraft, or League of Legends. Turns out classic games like chess and Go are "easy."
