    When the printing press came out during the Ottoman Empire, those who wrote handwritten books started a rebellion. Today, there is no professional group that writes by handwriting. There will always be anti-AI protests. But if a technology has emerged that makes a job cheaper and faster, you can’t avoid it. I recommend that you eliminate the professions that will disappear when directing professions for your children.

      In a world where you must work, making jobs disappear is a death sentence. And don’t you start babbling about “new jobs being made”. There’s no guarantee they’ll pay as much and be as available as the ones lost. AI is not a thing to look forward to, judgning by how it’s used. It probably could’ve been used for good but tech millionaires aren’t good people.

        Agree, AI is going to extrapolate. As AI becomes more capable it will replace more jobs. At the limit there will be zero jobs for human beings. So what happens then? The economy will no longer function. Even the argument that new technology creates new jobs falls down because AI could eventually design and build itself along with any other machine that’s needed. We’ll be wards of our technology, but it won’t even be ours anymore. AI will be in control.

        Some like to say people concerned about jobs lost to mechanization are just reacting to some kind of irrational fear and are failing to understand progress. However there is some rationality there. If you take mechanization to the limit it could upset our society at the least, or at worst cause our extinction.

        automation is going to happen though, it’s far to cost effective to avoid.

        businesses that could automate but don’t won’t be as competitive as those businesses that embrace automation. eventually they’ll disappear
