Friday AI - We welcome our robot overlords

[KnappShack]

I agree it’s going to make many jobs obsolete. That’s isn’t your argument as your saying it’s going to take an average employee and make them great where the great employee stagnet. In his argument their isn’t and an average or great employee there is just AI replacing the job entirely.

The person that takes over that role might not even have much of a design background they will most likely just know how to best utilize AI. But make no mistake AI will put a lot of people out of jobs.

The point is the same. AI will make it possible for the weak employee to replace the skilled employee for pennies on the dollar. During the transition the weak employee producing at the same level will be a train wreck for morale and what passes as corporate culture.

These six figure + jobs will be gone. I have zero faith new AI related jobs will come remotely close to replacing the lost skills and jobs.

We are running head first into a generational change that society isn't ready for. AI IS coming for your job in the intermediate term and will be a difficult change in the short term.

I am very pessimistic. My company says AI will not take jobs, but I believe it's window dressing to keep anxiety down and employees engaged until they are cut.

It'd be nice if I could trust AI would be used to reduce work hours for us while improving improving standard of living and not just another way to funnel wealth upwards and turn us into serfs.

No because AI can't build houses yet.

No, but robots already are in Germany. It’s a matter of time before 3D printing is scaled up to human size. It’ll be no different than the auto industry. Private homes will be designed by AI, built in climate controlled buildings by robots, and shipped in pieces to the job site by driverless trucks where they’re assembled by more robots…

This is my thought as well. If AI lives up to the hype, I don't see how it doesn't just wreck the job market. I just don't see how AI creates new jobs, because once the AI capabilities surpass humans, AI will do those new jobs better than humans so it will take those too.

This will usher in an era where we won't need most people working and would need to transfer to some sort of UBI model to allow people to sustain themselves. But the money to pay for a program like that would have to come from the ownership class that is getting filthy rich from this AI productivity and I dont trust them to be too eager to share the wealth with those left out. I think it will be a very ugly transition.

The future is here.
