rtificial intelligence (AI) could replace the equivalent of 300 million full-time jobs, a report by investment bank Goldman Sachs says.
It could replace a quarter of work tasks in the US and Europe but may also mean new jobs and a productivity boom.
And it could eventually increase the total annual value of goods and services produced globally by 7%.
Generative AI, able to create content indistinguishable from human work, is "a major advancement", the report says.

Walt Disney created an animatronic Abe Lincoln that could easily replace Biden, and that was in the 1960s.

Your labor is no longer needed
The machines will do the work, and you will survive at a subsistence level, owning nothing and eating bugs.
I’ve been doing this for years. We use VBA with Excel to create powerful business solutions for clients. It is like having a team of Excel power users, who never make mistakes, always show up, and never complain. But staff is seldom eliminated. They do more productive things.
This can’t be true, as Star Trek had REAL people sitting in front of interesting 2D consoles piloting starships and firing photon torpedoes.
Wow, when millions of good manufacturing jobs were offshored no one gave a sh!t. A pox....
A machine can never make moral and value judgements. It’s all fake.
This is like Y2K, a big hoax.
My daily use of AI these days falls into three categories:
1. Absolutely, totally, maddeningly worthless
2. Hit or miss, maybe useful, often not
3. Extremely powerful, useful, and invisible in the background
1. Every single customer “service” bot phone system is horrible and useless, repetitive, a huge time suck, and has never helped me at all. I’d rather bang my head against a concrete wall.
2. Siri sometimes works, but often does not. For dictating text messages and to-do lists, it is very good. Google Maps is pretty good at planning routes, but it is hard to tell it “no, I don’t want that road, use this road.”
3. The Spotify AI that gives me music suggestions (“curated”) is astoundingly good.
I’m surprised it has taken this long.
AI? When a blone dyes her hair brown.
So you get AI to design and engineer something for you. And it fails who do you sue?
In other words, all of the jobs.
There are only so many new tasks that staff can do. We don’t get 1 new job created for every job eliminated, not to mention how many people are too old to be trained or underskilled for these new jobs.
By then the AI learned that humans caused nothing but trouble unless they were kept busy, so they made sure to give us tasks like "go look for something on another planet" much the way a good owner has his pet German Shepard walk the property with him, and makes him fetch.
This is propaganda by and for midwits and idiots (”managers and executives”).
Really? Like what?
Wait until they program AI to talk in an East Indian accent. It will be like calling Apple support.
Someone with imagination has to tell the AI what to imagine for them.
They’ve already programmed it to say “My name is Bob” or “My name is Fred” even though it is obviously Rajiv speaking.
