I guess that you are not a CS graduate (nothing bad in that, don't mean it as an insult, just an observation).what? where is it available where you can ask in natural language and it will write a program for you with very acceptable pattern and efficiency and not just simple case but very intricate in almost any language? This is based on math concepts trained on large amounts of data. What you mentioned as not doables are future areas in the near future where AI can certainly be in a position to identify virus or at the least flag out of pattern signals based on continuous on job learning.
Point is not whether or not it solves every conceivable problem which it can't but point is that it has the potential to replace lot of average talent that can be replaced easily. This is a no brainer....reduction of number of dba's, network admins, server admins, programmers and so on are all AI can impact....anyone that underestiamtes this has another thing coming. This shit is real, companies have deep pockets and they can memorize lot of shit and exploit that memory just like human but billion times better.
They can't replace a human but they can replace routine jobs that humans can do over time if society removes or adapts to certain constraints. I remember people say the same thing when iphone did not come with stylus and so on....
Have you heard about the "uncomputable problems"? These are the classes of problems that no existing computation model can accept.
Computer programs can only simulate the NLP, it is an uncomputable problem (a turing machine cannot handle the class of natural language, it is restricted to the class of recursively enumerable languages), computers cannot really process the natural language. However, with the recent sophistication they can do their job that is close enough to a human.
For reference: Chomsky hierarchy of languages
AI will certainly replace certain jobs. However this is not a new phenomenon. Something new and shiny (I gave the cellular phone forcing the disappearance of the pay phone booths as an example) always replaces the existing redundant processes. However in the long term it will create more jobs and opportunities.
