Addressing insecurities around AI
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 take on them
-
True beauty is irrational: foundational and advanced AI models take after datasets and truths known to humans forever. However true inspiration (a genuinely beautiful new sound, genres of music, acting out of spite and creating something new) is so inherently human that we ourselves can’t predict anything that hinges on an unanswered question

AI can’t fix your toilet: weirdly enough, the jobs that require real world skills (carpentry, masonry, cooking, physical art) are not just safe, but likely to become future proof, while all our computer based jobs (most, not all) can be automated given time. What a fantastic return to roots. Evolution didn’t give 99.999% species opposable thumbs and we won’t give our AI overlord them either lol
-
AI needs a plug point: dystopian commenters say that AI can take us over. How? If processing power is finite based on available energy, pulling the plug can effectively guillotine any threat to our life
So many people on this forum wonder whether they’re next (some have found out already, and we pick them up and help them because we hate the future) but I hope we can laugh at these moments in the future because if I’m wrong, and Skynet really does figure out how to make things happen, then at least we will all die having seen this inevitable future and having laughed at it’s ugly face
What is this weak human sentiment? I for one welcome our AI overlords. Not to mention Singularity may be the only way for us to become type 2 civilization and beyond

Anythings that can have systemic process will get automated at certain level.
Matter of time.
