Different companies and executives will play this out differently. Some will replace their unskilled workers, some will fire everyone, some will ignore AI altogether.
What matters is which of these strategies will result in actual success. This is honestly far too hard to tell at this point.
- tsunamifury 3y agoYou can apply the law of "power wins" I think to this pretty well. It will be initially be used to put labor in a lower position and expand ownership margins -- until that creates an opposing power scenario. Which maybe be sooner... or could be later. Hopefully before robots become real, because otherwise it will be never. I'll say here, I've spoken to and spent time with a few well known billionaires and I'd say deep down, they are exterminists no matter how nice a face they try to put on it. Over time they just come to believe most people don't matter at all. Its really dark, and the sooner we come to terms with that the better.
- visarga 3y agoSoftware has been cannibalising itself for 70 years, and yet look and behold - being a programmer is still one of the best paid jobs. I don't believe a simple 20-50% boost for intermediate users is going to change things much.

Before that it was relatively low paying or inaccessible/undesirable to most people. Recent simplification through the movement of much CRUD work toward web frameworks has made it more accessible.
