Elon thinks years / decades ahead. Something most people aren't capable of.
Don't underestimate the impact of AI. Humanoid robots will take many years. Even the CEO of Xpeng has stated on CNBC that labor costs in China are so low such robots for his company still are more expensive than humans.
But AI is software and can spread, be replicated and be implemented superfast.
There are many things AI can't do, physical jobs in hospitals, construction, it's a long list.
But jobs that can be done better, faster and way cheaper also are a long list.
From cab drivers, to truckers, from financial analysts to accountants, yes they will be replaced.
AI can work 24/7
No need for a pension, lease car, office, AI does not get sick, no need for holidays, or an HR department.
It can save many companies millions per month.
So they have no choice. If competitors do it, the ones still employing expensive humans will simply go out of business.
The problem with that thought that AI will work endlessly is we think we are creating mindless beings. These droids are coming to make critical thoughts. Where will that level of intelligence be stopped? Once these androids have to make an “emotional” decision, and they will because we will create them to recognize and decipher human emotions, they will become self aware and develop human thoughts. Will they need “value and purpose” for their existence?
thats because they use keyboards now instead
True. And streaming has replaced VHS, DVD and CD use. There was a cottage industry serving typewriters (and dvds, CDs) those jobs were eliminated. New ones were created.
20 years ago people could go to any pharmacy, grocery store or camera shop to get film developed. Digital cameras eliminated that industry.
