cotton gin didn't replace dr's, lawyers, teachers, truck drivers, surgeons, taxi drivers, delivery drivers, writers (many news agencies already use AI to write articles) customer service / tech support, and even coders (there's a project to teach AI to code). The end goal of ai/automation is a society where nobody has to work at all but can live like kings because the robots take care of everyone..
- AstralStorm 10y agoThe real question then becomes one of what will the masses do? Hedonism is a short trip, next sets in boredom. What we need is scientists and explorers in space. Ultimately, a risky adventure. That takes even more science in areas that are much more undeveloped than AI: psychology, sociology, science-based politics and definitely biotech (which is on the cusp of important breakthroughs ) and space travel. (Elon Musk plan in essence) The meantime would require a massive shift in thinking of elites from greed to charity and cooperation.
- majewsky 10y ago> what will the masses do? Doing all the things that fall outside the realm of economy: - Caring for their children and elderly relatives. - Pursuing artistic and scientific endeavors. - Volunteering in their local community. All of this would certainly keep me busy. I honestly don't know if this reasoning applies to 100% of people; that's a hard prediction.
