History has demonstrated that when executed properly automation creates new jobs that did not exist before, frequently high paying jobs. It’s almost impossible to imagine new necessary things that aren’t currently needed. When executed incorrectly jobs are artificially created to fill the perception of automation, which regresses economic growth.
I wouldn’t worry about any of this. Automation is only correctly achieved in small slow steps before achieving social replication.

- austin-cheney 3y agoSigh... stop watching movies and come back to reality. SkyNet is not here to kill you. No matter what people wish artificial intelligence is not yet intelligent. If it were capable of self-validation or self-healing algorithms then... possibly (but even then the probably is low). Until that time its just another data combination scheme surrounded by stupid people full of wishful thinking. If anything the current state of AI will do one thing painfully well: separate the hopelessly unoriginal people from everybody else. It a race to Dunning-Kruger where people too unaware cannot tell the difference in absolute astonishment to those who can.
