The solution will be automated labor (robotic line cooks, dishwashers, etc), and labor will no longer be an unmanageable variable at this point.

- jelliclesfarm 8y agoTrue. I see the same thing happening in Ag. I can tell how we will create jobs there tho’..instead of having people spraying toxic chemicals in orchards with masks on..we can have autonomous drones or sprayers but staff can be trained to use the programs and equipment. But here is the rub. Where you needed maybe 30 labourers in the field doing low wage job..now one robot and one operator/supervisor can do it for a single high paying job. So..while certainly that one person has upward mobility..what about the rest of the 29 low skill workers? How are they going to be trained and what will they do? This is something tech sector and the govt has to think about...I don’t think we have spent enough time or effort worrying about it or pursuing it...honestly..it’s not killer AI that scares me..but it’s unemployed..poor low skill people who don’t have means to support themselves in a world where jobs will get scarce is what scares me.
