As always, the problem is our economic system that has funneled every gain and advance to the benefit of the few. The speed of this change will make it impossible to ignore the need for a new system. If it wasn't for AI, we would just boil the frog like always. But let's remember the real issue.

If a free food generating machine is seen as evil for taking jobs, the free food machine wouldn't be the issue. Stop protesting AI, start protesting affluent society. We would still be suffering under them even if we had destroyed the loom.

They already have tbf. Which is actually fine if we had universal basic income, then AI away. We don't though, we don't even have universal healthcare.

No way. Any company stupid enough to replace people with AI will see the quality of their services decline and they will suffer compared to their competition.

AI is a bullshit generator. Its not a substitute for humans unless those humans were already doing bullshit.

In 10 years it'll probably be good enough to take over completely. Right now, it can take photographer and artist jobs pretty easily for news and online magazines.
