Other times it may automate a particular part of their role, scaling their effectiveness. Unless progress in AI inexplicably halts, the tasks done by humans vs. machines will continue to evolve. Today’s episode is a speculative conversation about what the future may hold.</p> <p>Co-Host of Squaring the Strange Podcast, Caricature Artist, and an Academic Editor, Celestia Ward joins us today! Kyle and Celestia discuss whether or not her jobs as a caricature artist or as an academic editor are under threat from AI automation.</p> <h3 id="mentions">Mentions</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://squaringthestrange.wordpress.com/">https://squaringthestrange.wordpress.com/</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/celestiaward">https://twitter.com/celestiaward</a></li> <li>The legendary <a href="https://openai.com/blog/better-language-models/">Dr. Jorge Pérez</a> and his work studying unicorns</li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernormal_stimulus">Supernormal stimulus</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.caricature.org/">International Society of Caricature Artists</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.2headsstudios.com/">Two Heads Studios</a></li> </ul>
