Why is this not the same?

Watch the video?

It addresses that point.

I got a hunch I've heard it before.

And I don't have time to sit through a 15 minute CCP Grey video.

GCP

whatever.

If the argument is that this time their coming for the white collar jobs.

The Luddites were upset that automation was coming for farming and skilled manufacturing.

Okay fine, name a job that can't be automated.

They were sorta right. Not as many people farm any more and we don't line up 100s of people in a workshop to make firearms one-by-one anymore.

What's the job that we're moving people into.

But farming and skilled manufacturing is still around.

Arts for one.

I'm getting slowmo'd.

Hollywood is making more money than before.

Art is an attention based economy, you can't just retrain people to be an artists.

What?

No, you just do what you want.

Sure, attention is limited, but that's everything in this world.

How are they going to make money?

Making stuff people care about.

For who, other artists?

Whomever cares to watch it.

You're not replacing all engineers and surveyors.

There's too many factors to just toss an AI at it.

Surveyors probably, engineers maybe.

Depends on the engineering.

AI is good at eliminating the boring stuff that doesn't really require too much complexity. Like watching watching security tapes.

No, surveying is a task which requires a good deal of logistics and care in setting up your instruments.

Yeah, writing news stories, and making music, and improving algorithms.

And there's fundamental limits which make eliminating engineering basically impossible.

AI sucks at facial recognition

Facebook, Google, Youttube already trust mot of the engineering work to automation.

You can automate the calculations and some idea generation, but there's hard limits on how far you can take that.

define "most of the engineering work" Last I heard they were still hiring coders.

they have to, with millions of minutes of youtube content being uploaded every day, thats undoable for a normal person

Okay, like .01% worlds jobs are safe, GG guys

No, this whole "AI is going to put everyone out of work" is badly overhyped.

And reflects a lack of creativity and understanding of fundamental limits.

They are putting people out of jobs, not ARE putting people out of jobs.
