so at what point are there not enough jobs to go around for a significant portion of the population to be able to afford to survive? Surely there is a tipping point if the trend keeps going and going as you have indicated. . or are there always jobs for everybody and unemployment is just a personal choice? certainly wasn't for me or my boss for 3 years at a stretch. .

Lost jobs to AI will not be replaced by other jobs in other fields. Think carefully about how AI has already affected jobs. Not just entry level non-skilled clerical jobs. Combine AI with robotics and you can take over a lot of jobs.

But wait, I thought we need human workers in The Villages hence local government approving ENDLESS housing projects in The Villages area; or the open borders, did I miss a memo that we don't need more able bodies to do the things lazy people won't do? AI will be doing the jobs so we don't need local or national workers?? I can't keep up with the "whack a mole" game. Good thing AI can play it for me. Was visiting IL. Cosmics (wanna be Starbucks competion), McDonald's prototype completely AI robotic restaurant in Naperville, IL, can't make a mocha frappe... so strange. Def don't need a Cosmics in T V. That would defeat the need for several appartment units in Wildwood too. |

When AI is used, and it gives out incorrect or faulty information which results in serious injury or even death, then who is responsible? Today, it's common to hear that the computer is slow or the computer is down, or even the term "computer error". Yet if those attributes were applied to an employee, I'm pretty sure that "that" employee would be fired from his or her job.
I don't think that AI is the end all that people expect. I would also hope that companies that do use AI to replace employees would be taxed at a much higher rate so as to supplement the unemployment they cause. |

That was my first response, being a doubting Thomas to the core, may even be from Missouri. however, its kinda of like those D Cell batteries for your flashlight when you were a kid.
String enough of them together and next thing you know you are driving a car powered by them across the country. Human ingenuity knows no boundaries, which I love. . . Yes, but the corporate influence on Congress now allowed after the stupidest supreme court decision won't allow it and will bankrupt the country. Brownian motion in the wrong direction. You will see the effect of this at some point in the future when US Treasury bond auctions start failing miserably and interest rates shoot up hawrribly high. . . |

Eh - taking fast food orders ... answering queries ... collecting tolls ... perfect use for computers (AI). I'm not concerned at all though. AI will not be fixing my car, fixing my plumbing, doing electrical work, laying down carpet or wood floors, installing windows, building rockets, building highways, cutting lawns or planting landscaping, farming, cutting hair, building homes, building cars, delivering packages, fighting fires, responding to medical emergencies (ambulance), installing a new roof, cleaning my pool, dealing with crime, etc, etc, etc. |

Everybody thinks AI is something new, it’s not. When I started in IT 48 years ago, I was reading books about AI, and back then, it was supposed to start impacting jobs in the 80’s. Computers didn’t put people out of work, it made people more efficient, and it created a whole new set of jobs.
If you really want to get worried about what is possible with AI, listen to some of Elon Musks talks/interviews about this subject. Robots have replaced many jobs already that do the same task over and over, this isn’t AI. When AI gets to the point that AI robots/appliances are the ones creating the new batch of AI/robots/appliances, or a rogue country starts developing AI robots like Robo Cop to build an army of these things that can fight, fly, then we got problems |
