AI is an idiot savant minus the savant part.

“There is a storm brewing in this respect.”

There are storms brewing everywhere and I’m afraid they are going to join together to become one big super storm that will consume everything in its path.

I’ve said this for years, the stupid people that vote Democrat will be out of a job, because people like me design and program machines that aren’t as big of a pain in the a$$ as most Democrats are.
Our problem is how to deal with all our idiots?
They are no longer needed, useful, and historically not trainable and disiciplined.
They are all God’s children and at least in the USA have rights.
wall up the cities and keep them in there.
throw in drugs, food and let them go at it.

Nah, program ChatGPT to tell 90% of federal workers “You’re FIRED! Clean out your desk.” No need to fire the under-performers. Just go down the alphabetized list and decimate them.

Ned Ludd and his followers were wrong 210 years ago. Steam driven advanced looms made clothing a lot more affordable for and everybody’s standard of living increased. That’s the paradox of automation and tech. It’s not pleasant being on the short end of the stick when the time comes, but people re-tool themselves to adapt. That’s the point of these warnings. Don’t get caught flat-footed on the factory floor by being the specialist left-handed veeble-nut tightener on the Kuhneutson valve.

Question #1. When will AI pay taxes?

Really Scary Question #2. When will AI start to vote?

It was only a few years ago the press was full of stories about self driving trucks. The stories promised that truck driving jobs would soon be eliminated as self driving 18 wheelers took over hauling America’s freight on the highways.

Today it seems almost every 18 wheeler on the highway has an ad on the back door offering top wages for human drivers. The electric powered AI controlled 18 wheelers are still in the lab.

Lawyers & CPAs would be the easiest to replace.

Time will tell, but based on my observations AI tools may compete for some jobs, but will create more and better jobs for smart people— so if we stop importing and subsidizing the birth of idiots it will be of benefit for the US.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^

I’m in the business. AI scare the ever living crap out of me. Well, not AI itself but the obvious miss-use that will come with it.

However, you nailed it on the jobs. Yes, AI will replace many present day jobs but brand new jobs that aren’t a thing at this point will be created because of it. New skill sets will be needed to fill the new future roles.

This is a great read that discusses just what you brought up.

Yes, I recall. And now California wants to pass a law that all “self-driving” trucks must have a driver in the vehicle.

Civil Service rules will protect them. We will have to pay them not to work as we did most during the Democrat Party pandemic.

AI robots......a corporation's wet dream.

No more demands for raises, vacations, time off with family. No more paying for medical insurance for humans. No need to express appreciation. Hire and fire (or kill) at will. Will work 24/7, weekends. Will follow all rules without questioning, Won't talk back or express an opinion or sue for harassment.

Vast hordes of remaining unemployed humans will be begging desperately for a job....any job.....willing to do anything.

What's not to like? Corporate profits will skyrocket even more.

Humans right now are like horses just before the invention of the automobile.

They’re underestimating by at least 10x here.
