I don't get statements like yours. If we were following this path and not moving forward being afraid of obsolete jobs that new tech brings us - we wouLed be stuck in the past. Lots of people said the same when the assembly lines were introduced, lots of people lost their jobs because now it required less people to build the same thing, however assembly lines created lots of other higher skilled positions and now most of the assembly line process is done by robots (which were also dramatized by people with similar to yours opinion) and it also created a lot of higher skilled jobs to build those robots and maintain them. The same will happen with AI, it will create a higher skilled job market which will benefit a community in a long term. Being afraid of changes will always get us stuck in the past.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoChanges are good. But as the skill requirement keeps rising, more and more people will find themselves unemployable in principle. Sure, it may be a transitional period, but what are you going to do if suddenly half of your extended family will depend on your income?
- user8341116 11y agoWell, let me lay out the plan for you that Zuckerberg et al have in mind. 1. Create AI 2. Purge 80 - 90% of humanity in a WW 3. Live as kings of the planet indefinitely (since AI will have figured out a way to stop aging in humans by then). Personally, I have no problem with this plan even if it means my death, and that feeling is confirmed every time I turn I read the news.
