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.
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.
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?
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.
Cant the rich build humanoid robots to do the same. Can't big corporates buy lands and build vertical farms and run with robots.
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.
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
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.
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.
Finally found one positive post
There is also another point would you go to work .if you get paycheck without doing any work? Just like UBI
I believe no government in the world would be willing to adopt UBI. They also wouldn't want to deal with mass unemployment. And to go to work, you would need a job that isn't automated yet.
Bro you went 2nd order before visiting first order thoughts.
First thing that you need to think about is why we build products? For other humans! To help in one or the other needs that these humans have. The day AI can understand human needs and emotions, we would have created an ultron equivalent. It’s endgame then.
Rest assured every new tech brings optimisation. But there is not a limited set of jobs, else from the farming age population we wouldn’t have evolved till the digital age. Imagine YouTuber, social media influencer as a job. Did it exist 15 years back? Humans and the way they interact with the universe will keep evolving and we will keep inventing new jobs and businesses. We are intelligent monkeys entertaining each other, while ensuring survival. This will continue till total annihilation of the species or the environment.
Relax about job losses try to do the best (enjoyable, good financial rewards and fulfilling) work you can, keep learning and growing as a human first and a professional second. Enjoy the ride!
Dystopia or extinction is definitely on the cards.
Users without jobs will not be able to monetise product
For as long as AI has been around (milliseconds on the timescale of humanity), there has been an increasingly negative view on job security and whose job is on the chopping block next
I submit the following points, and I wanted your tak...
I know this is quite a sensitive topic but I'd rather face the truth.
A couple of months ago, I was less worried, but now looking at the pace of development in IDEs and tools to help with software development, coding has been made much ...
An interesting viewpoint from someone who built & scaled interesting businesses.
