Maybe the whole "people will need UBI because robots will replace all the marginal workers" argument will fail because marginally productive workers will get so much better at their jobs.
In reality, automation and mechanization of manufacturing got rid of the skilled craftsman. Using the assembly line, Ford replaced artisans with people who were much less skilled.
- sharemywin 3y agobut things like google/amazon pushed the unskilled part onto the buyer. ordering online wasn't a thing before the internet, you needed make a call or go to a store.
- bschne 3y agoI still don't have good intuitions about overall economical impacts, but that part struck me as well because I've been wondering whether it'll be more "the best can use these tools better" or "the best will lose their competitive advantage". What is important to consider though is that in this case here, the AI tool in question merely provided pre-written responses for agents to accept/reject/adapt, and how the effects are distributed may well shift as tools become more sophisticated and will just automatically handle most low-stakes/simple cases.
