Every blue collar worker I know would counter that with "AI". i.e, "at least my industry doesn't shoot itself in the foot"
- ThrowawayR2 2y agoThe miniscule fraction of people in the software industry who are building AI are not the people in the software industry who are at risk of being replaced by AI.
- throw234234234 2y agoDo agree with that, at least in the short term (not the long term). But most industries tend to band together, form unions, associations, licenses, etc that would unify and put the workers in the same boat one way or the other especially blue collar which is what this article is about. The point still stands - other industries are "smarter" and wouldn't do this to themselves and have controls against this sort of thing.
