Core Arguments:
> "Six separate impacts
In truth, AI technology will have several impacts:
1. Augmentation: AI will certainly augment certain existing jobs.
2. Job losses for non-adoption: new hires will be expected to use this augmenting AI, some who can’t adopt and adapt will lose their jobs.
3. Gradual jobs losses: new hires will diminish as productivity gains are realised: why have 5 when you only need three admin staff using AI to do the same tasks?
4. Jobs will be automated: some jobs will be automated and eliminated using AI. This has already happened with translators (Duolingo) and there are lot more candidates.
5. Legacy companies will disappear: traditional companies will fail to adapt and large numbers will lose their jobs.
6. New jobs will be created: new companies will emerge, as they did with online learning, with AI experts and knowledge managers. This is already happening."

Is anyone making a good faith argument that AI will "JUST" augment jobs? Do grown ups take the word "JUST" seriously anymore?
Terrible title.
- soco 3y agoI believe the argument on your point 3 is that those 5 augmented with AI would be able to do way more. But that requires the company to widen its goals, to change and augment its strategy as well, and this doesn't happen over night. The immediate goal is to lower costs because that's the simplest thing and understood by all, so they reach to AI to do that aka fire people. I know the company I describe here is "traditional" but I'd say right now all are like this. What will come next, how the new companies will augment themselves (not only augment their workers), we will see.
