It’s already threatening jobs and has already begun taking them. AI needs to be restricted now before any further damage is done. If not restricted than removed entirely outside of specific circles like the medical field.

It’s not actually already taking jobs in any serious way yet. Look at how the AI drive thrus are working. Companies say that so they can dodge accountability for making crazy hiring decisions in 2019-2021, when we had low interest rates

That is a problem we need to sort very soon but I don’t think it’s already a large scale problem. I’m curious how many jobs have *genuinely* been replaced by AI without the need for a human to go back and fix mistakes or spend more time on quality assurance

If you look at what Challenger Gray actually says themselves, they say “cited”. That’s what the companies are claiming is the reason. But companies have reasons for blaming AI: dodging accountability for bad decisions previously, and the fact that paying people in stock is getting much more expensive now. So in some cases, they’re just firing workers that have been there a while, because they have to keep giving raises and their RSUs eventually vest. They’d rather prefer to fire senior people…

…and replace them with entry-level employees who they can pay less. But they’re usually not admitting that to the public very clearly

See, that part about Amazon is exactly what I’m talking about. They overhired. And those people’s RSUs are vesting right now

But AI is still a great threat, and if companies are just using it to blame for their poor decision, if AI was restrained in the first place these excuses wouldn’t be valid since the government would have stepped in and told them no before they could fire anyone.

Ai has already damaged many fields as well. I want to be a teacher and my field is full of issues with AI. What would normally take a human to read a book, create questions, make a lesson plan, etc. can all be done in seconds by an AI. Students are cheating and not even doing their schoolwork and just letting ChatGPT do it for them. Many students at my college are essentially illiterate, I’ve heard students outright say they don’t read their books they just let AI do it.

It’s funny now, but in the future we could seriously have a huge literacy issue as well as a lower quality of education. There are students in my education classes who want to be teachers who use AI regularly to do their assignments for them.

They can always blame “Market and Economic Conditions”, which Challenger Gray says 245k cuts have already been attributed to this year. Anything that makes the company look like it’s not their fault will suffice. But saying “AI” has the added benefit of making your stock go up. It’s just like when companies said “blockchain” a few years ago and you had fucking Kodak skyrocketing for no reason

Ok that may be true but what about the sectors like education that are being affected by AI now?

Anonymous #4 3w

That’s definitely a different story, and idk how to deal with that. I’ve been falsely accused of using ChatGPT to write stuff and it’s literally just because of my writing style 💀 I’m really not sure where the (recent?) illiteracy issue came from, but I have heard about some states changing the way they teach reading, and sometimes those other approaches don’t work very well. I definitely think COVID contributed too

We would have to change how we assess students. Maybe move away from essays and more towards presentations, a Q&A, or some type of conversation. Or do stuff with lockdown browsers or prompts that would be difficult for ChatGPT to answer

^But these things absolutely shouldn’t have any place in student facing educational roles, students relying on AI for class work is so concerning! Or like therapy?? Come on now 😪

It’s actually done a TON in avancement. It helped us understand all rhetorical protein structures, develop vaccines, and helped create antibiotics that work against drug resistant infections that work faster than bacteria is able to evolve and gain resistance. Of course those aren’t LLM like ChatGPT though, which everyone thinks of when you discuss ai

Take a breath, kid. You didn’t get it and that’s okay, it happens to all of us. But it’s not a reasonable question when I clearly said that I’d pull the plug on it all if I could. Why would I support the continued development of something I want to see eliminated from the planet

Population collapse issues will push many countries towards this solution, there is simply not enough labor or work force to sustain an economy when the birth rate falls below replacement rate given enough time. It’s either immigration or automation and some cultures are too xenophobic to make the right choice, why tf are you downvoting this perspective? You don’t want to look at it?
