Gossip & Opinions / Re: Elon Musk Says AI Will Provide Everything You Need
« Last post by Dave D on Today at 01:43:10 PM »To an extent, you are correct. But these jobs are not moving. Some dude in India isn't taking it. It is being eliminated completely. This will have a global impact. My point of this goes back to (I forgot who on the first page) claimed that "AI would give us everything". I am questioning that because AI can not magically produce food or housing or free living expenses without socialistic overtones. With the number of jobs being eliminated, the resulting market place will be saturated with applicants, where only the most experienced will be employed. That leaves the newcomers with what? Other than manual labor, I don't see how many professions will survive.
I understand that jobs are going to be eliminated, a new market will create new opportunities. You don’t know a blacksmith, a farrier (a person who shoes horses) gas station attendants or a telephone operator. These were common careers a little over 100 years ago. There aren’t typists, or video store clerks either.
Will AI wipe out all professional careers? Maybe. If it happened over night there will be a major problem. If it’s a 20-30 cycle the marketplace can prepare.
What’s more likely to happen first is a new financial depression and how we emerge from that will determine a lot.
