I can sorta see the point. AI probably wont kill me.
But, its more than likely going to either limit my earning capacity or directly put me out of a job.
I know that the instant reply is "oh but other jobs will pop up to replace yours" I mean yeah they might, but it's unlikely that I'll be qualified to do them.
the historical cases of this kinda thing don't look to rosy. When a technology comes in to "revolutionise" an industry, lots of people get left behind. They are forgotten because they aren't rich enough to be written about. "they found other jobs" no mate, they died in penury.
When was the last time you hear about the weavers guild deposing some mayor because they didn't like them? Yeah not after the powered loom right? If you look at all the massive churches in the UK(http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/worstead/worstead.htm http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/worstead/worstead.htm) the ones that are in bubmble fuck of nowhere are because of weaving (more or less). They don't get built in georgian times do they?
AI is going to displace at least 10-20% of white collar work permanently. That sort of disruption tends to make shit hard to govern, or make dark satanic mills.
- CamperBob2 2y agoA better instant reply would be "Oh, but now you can do whatever you want, as your time is now your own." Ask your neighborhood Luddite if they want to go back to work in a wool mill, even one that they own. Most likely, they will say they have better things to do.
- hooverd 2y agoThe problem is the AI boosters think that people who don't work shouldn't eat. How do you reply to that? People like having food on their table.
- CamperBob2 2y agoSame reply as in the other thread: they don't think about us at all, nor should they have to. What they want will be good for us, too... as long as it's available to us.
- KaiserPro 2y ago> "Oh, but now you can do whatever you want, as your time is now your own." With what money? If you're not in work, you're not going to get paid. AI bros aren't going to pay for you to live, that's like socialism man.
