RE: Guess Who Stole My Job?
Telling you it's an easy, super convenient tool is just how they hook you. They get you thinking you're AI's master, and it's only there to make your life easier and more convenient.
But why would that be? Why would Bill Gates, or the Google guy whatever his name is, or even Elon, do that? Money? They don't need it. And I hardly think these guys wake up one morning thinking expressly how they can make my life a little easier and more fun. It's naive to think that, yet so many people are buying into it.
Then, as you say there's the self-denial group. I've spoken to quite a few people in writing and programming who keep insisting 'oh no, it's just a tool to make my life easier'. Sure it is. Now. But when the AI becomes a tiny bit more advanced, these people will all be out of a job. Because why would anyone pay you to do something they themselves can get a robot to do for free?
I am so sorry for the situation. Genuinely. It happened to my mom recently, too, and I know how much it sucks. I'm thankful there are still places like Hive, where you can get rewarded for writing intelligent, original content. So there is, at least, that.
There's that at least. For us at Hive where we know that originality and effort pays off, we don't need to worry. And you're right, it's naive to think that the big guys wake up or constantly think of how to make life easier. Even I know, that they aren't that charitable.
I heard about 9,000 Facebook workers were laid off because of this yet we Constantly sing the praises. The most we can do however is to see how to use it to at least maximize profit for us. Somehow.
I'm sorry that happened to your mom. It's quite a devastating feeling.
Privately, I hope it's a fad, and that it'll peak, then flounder, with employers returning to human employees in time. But who knows?
