Everyday I open youtube/grapevine/teamblind its has keywords AI + Shocked or it will replace our jobs.
My take on why AI might not replace our jobs.
1. Running AI agents or AGI requires significant electric power. If every company starts using it in some way in the future. All the code might be exposed. What if AGI builds its own version and starts selling and shuts down its employer considering its super intelligence.
2. If people dont pay taxes. How will government run? Who will buy the products in the market? Wont people start stealing/hurting others to meet basic needs?
3. Many jobs in todays world use computers in someform. But we only talk about the software engineers. There are non tech people who use computers in their works. Those are pretty much repetitive and can be easily automated. Many are not aware about chatgpt.
On the other end people talk about alternative jobs and the safest job is farming in most of the posts.
1. Cant the rich build humanoid robots to do the same. Can't big corporates buy lands and build vertical farms and run with robots.
2. What big corporates are going to do with the excess money laying us off in the end if all the jobs are taken, as if the people running or owning them are going to live their life eternally. Unless they find a way to upload their existence into a robot.
3. I'm not sure if people posting about AI taking jobs have worked on atleast building basic ML models like linear regression or used MNIST data to detect numbers using neural networks. For most of us AI is a blackbox and we
do not know about its full potential.
My take on AI
1. AI can aid humans in their tasks or make developers like us to wear multiple hats. Like combination of backend, frontend, mobile, devops, machine learning, cybersecurity. Helpnus better debug.
2. I feel like all these CxO's just blabber to get high funding, spread fear while they chill in their yatch.
Let me know your thoughts on this.
