Whenever AI is more effective, use it. Full stop. Yes, people are going to lose their jobs. MOST people will across every single industry under the sun. Okay? That’s just reality. That is our future, it’s not stopping. For so many reasons.
You cannot, and will not, compete on the global market full stop if you do that. Not only that, keeping Jobs around and forcing people to work when they are contributing zero to society, is morally reprehensible. That’s just making them work just cause. Wasting their life working just cause. Don’t need to, they have no real use, they are worse at the job, but make them do it anyway just to give the average guy something to do.
Can’t have a population with idle hands! Right guys?? But why. Lol. There’s no reason we as a population have to work full time forever. None. Zero.
It is not companies jobs to figure out how society is going to work here. Call. Your. Congressman.
This is the feds job.
This gave me a good chuckle. Not just the OP but the entire comment rant too.
I love that this is a hill they’re willing to die on and it makes me wonder why there is such righteous aggression in the OP responses. Me thinks they are in a vulnerable to AI outsourcing industry and want UBI as a fall back for the inevitable lay off headed their way.
Good luck with that one… Or just reskill in a job that will be hard to replace, one with interpersonal skills maybe…
You realize people need jobs to get money, right?
We’re not doing them for fun.
I agree, and half the time I’m at work I wish I wasn’t, but also I actually enjoy the work I do. When I don’t have a job I lose my mind, and I’m not alone. Unemployment is up there depression-wise with loss of a loved one for a lot of people, and that not an assumption it’s a fact. OP is acting like we all just would be content home on our computers all day and that we are being forced to work “just because” like it’s a punishment
But the govt makes you need money
Guys this post is clearly made by an ai in its testing faze, give it a year and it will improve!
what in the actual fck even is this?
“Not only that, keeping Jobs around and forcing people to work when they are contributing zero to society, is morally reprehensible.”
The alternative is those people and their family starve. We live in a society of excess, but only to those that are already wealthy.
Not video games.
AI will be baby mode frameworks. It’s not going to think up unique code or architecture.
Fortunately for you I think you’re too dumb to realize the evil of what you’ve said.
“14 year old who took economics and watched a video about ai on YouTube” ass argument
go watch the movie Wall-E. That is precisely why jobs and working are important. For without structure in our lives we become fat, lazy, entitled creatures who relish in over indulgence. Never mind the fact that even with jobs we are already getting there. This would just bring about that time much quicker.
Or how about the fact those jobs, as shitty as they often are, pay us and allow us to have all these first world problems so many post about online. Do you suggest replacing jobs with AI and instituting a Socialistic structure so that everyone has a roof over their head, food in their fridge and disposable income to do the things they enjoy.
That being said, when it comes to modern times there are certainly improvements that can be made for the working folk. We have been continuously tasked with doing more work, being more productive, etc, all while losing the buying power we once had due to stagnant wages. I read a week ago that to have the same buying power as people did back when $3.xx was the standard hourly rate, you’d need to make just over $30 today. Moving along, there are measures that can make peoples lives better even while working. better pay, mandatory vacation, paid sick time, health benefits, and dare I suggest 4 day work weeks. European nations have figured this out, why can’t the rest of the world.
AI is nothing more than a cost saving measure for the company. The same way self checkouts were for retailers. A way to dump employment costs to gain even more profit; as they don’t create enough. I’ll take an adequate human being over a computer trained by someone every single day of the week.
I hope this was a troll post because the foundation of society is the people. It is every much businesses job to create a product, to create jobs, to stimulate the economy.
Sick bro so whats your plan for paying my extremely inflated rent that went up for no reason despite my wage not going up? Yeah I don’t need to work anymore. I will just not pay my bills and live off air instead of food. Sounds like a great idea.
They don’t want people to have universal healthcare. You really think they’re going to take care of anyone whose jobs are lost due to AI? And do you really think people are that replaceable in creative fields? Sorry, but I think both of these are delusions.
Guys I genuinely think OP might be an AI…
I have been wondering something, as I scroll through this “discussion”.
What are the chances that the very obnoxious, self-absorbed Elon Musk is OP’s ghostwriter?
0/10 bait
The whole point of technology and tools is to eliminate the need for manual input and manpower and make our lives easier. What’s the point of developing all this technology just to keep humanity enslaved with jobs?
This guy knows nothing about the system 😭
