discussion Are you worried your job is going to be taken by AI? Do you think your job can be taken by AI?

[Captain Panda]

I m one of the few where I am OK as a chef

 

[Raodos455]

every job but art is going to be taken by AI, have sweet dreams and good night

 

[Epica_so]

Current ai cannot take a human job, except maybe costumer service

 

[Silicon12]

Not for a long time, i run a bar and I have employees, but if I could replace them with AI machine it would be a life saver
1- they don't complain
2- they don't try to charge you overtime because you stayed 5 minutes after closing time
3- they don't get tired
4- they have no family emergencies
And most importantly I don't have to pretend and give a shit that the AI decided to fuck some rando raw and their religion requires them to have the baby which makes me legally bound to pay maternity leave....

 

[Vidilo]

No and no. My job requires human interaction.

But yes, AI will make lots of jobs pointless. But that has been the way with automation since the beginning of industrialization.

 

[Monseigneur]

Am I afraid? I dream about it. Have you seen the TV series Orville? Have you played the Subnautica game? Sooner or later, with or without robots, humanity will have "nano assemblers" printers that can assemble any object atomically for any person for free. Nuclear synthesizers capable of collecting some atoms from others and perhaps even just from the energy of the sun. By this time, there will be no need to work and no need for money. The age of abundance will come. People will do what they like to make progress or to enjoy life. But it won't be a job anymore. More like a hobby. Because work is what slaves do, it's what you don't want to do to get what you want. Being afraid of being replaced by robot slaves is like being afraid of becoming free. It would be more correct to ask. Are you afraid that the government will leave you without support during the transition period? He'll throw you in the trash when he doesn't need you anymore. But then it's not about robots, but about your masters, whom you choose every 4-6 years (depending on the country).

well, not gonna argue w/ that.

And I would argue with that. AI is getting smarter and cheaper every year. And you, as a person, demand the same salary every time. And if your qualifications have increased, then you demand even more than before. You don't have to be a genius to realize that one day AI will become smarter and cheaper than any human being.

I work in IT, so if anything I'll be in more demand. AI isn't going to do much if the computer running it breaks.

Just as one surgeon can perform surgery on another surgeon, robots will one day repair other robots, electronics, and other mechanisms. To say that a person cannot be replaced in some area means to say that it is impossible to fully understand how the biological original works and copy it. Science is moving forward every day. In the end, we'll figure out exactly how the human brain works and copy it. By the way, have you heard that there are already processors made from biological human brains? Perhaps even earlier we will start using biocomputers for information processing. And why not, they are smarter, more energy efficient, and they are already designed by evolution.

is that a country cop thing? because in cities I would expect the issues to be more in the police brutality or confiscating items, not dr**s

No, this is happening everywhere in the world. When a person has power over others, he will use it for his own benefit. And the police have more power than the average citizen in any country. Therefore, in any country, the police abuse it. To paraphrase Spider-Man. The greater the power, the more it is abused.

Fortunately, I work in a crafts business, so as long as AI doesn't learn how to do manual labor, I'm safe

Well, actually, Agility Robotics has already hired its own robots for one company this year, and at least 5 companies are trying to catch up with it.

But then again, do they care? Is the money perhaps a means to an end?

Putting my dystopian futurism goggles on for a minute, what if the plan is to get AI to a sufficiently advanced state that it serves their needs as a tool of control (i.e. plug it into killbots or the like)? Then retreat to their bunker/private island/Mars with a some hand picked & loyal people, let the rest of us turn on each other (maybe with a little push here and there), and when it all blows over, come out of seclusion, offering the hope of rebuilding society, have the AI serve as their fanatically loyal & nearly unkillable security force, while they proclaim themselves god-kings in their new utopia, and have the survivors as virtual slaves.

A millionaire is the same person as you, only with a lot of money. And if I had a lot of money, I wouldn't want to live in a bunker. Or on an island where there is no one but me and my family. And if there are at least 100 people there, then again we come to the same society that we tried to escape from. Humans are social animals, and most of them don't want to live in a cave alone as a hermit. Such conspiracy theories are based on fear.

i bag groceries so i don't think the tech advanced enough yet, lol.

You can literally be replaced yesterday if you really want to.

I hang out here for the same reasons you and everyone else hangs out here. I suspect I am in a tiny minority though, who use this site to find VN's I like, and PAY THE DEV for their work. Law enforcement (26.5 years) in my county has a decent retirement program, and I can afford it.

In my personal experience, there was a tiny minority of those who did illegal shit, and they got fired or quit and even arrested and tried in court. The public's perception of law enforcement is almost exclusively based upon what they see on TV or on sites, like YouTube. And, the vast majority never interact with law enforcement. Your experience (hanging around motorcycle gangs all your life) is certainly a very, very rare experience.

What are the correct credentials I don't have?

>The public's perception of law enforcement is almost exclusively based upon what they see on TV or on sites, like YouTube.

I'm sorry, but are you serious or are you just yanking my pizzle?

Your job is literally to protect politicians from citizens, not citizens from criminals. Your job is to enforce the anti-human laws created by the state. Your job is to punish an ordinary person for crimes without victims. It's people like you who break into homes and jail people for 10 years because they had sex with a sex doll that some random politician doesn't like, or for a too realistic image generated by a neural network, or for the fact that a person dared to use a substance that some politician doesn't like. And the fact that the motto of the American police "shoot first, ask questions later" is well known all over the world. You knew that you would work as an executioner destroying people's destinies when you went there to work, and you went there anyway, because they pay well there. And for the sake of a good salary, you were willing to work in this mafia. And after that, you say that it's not your fault and your decisions, but the TV and YouTube. Ha!

 

[User_159114]

I'm not particularly worried, although everyone should at least be cautious. It develops fast.

 

[Wh0Ar3Y0u?!]

I unload about 4 semi's full of 30 to 40 pallets each then break them down by hand computers and ai are the ones that make the pallets and from what I've seen I'm pretty safe for a while.

 

[Harry180]

it might happen sooner than we think

 

[otrdriver]

A trained monkey can do my job. No one is going to insure a trained monkey or take responsibility when something goes wrong at my job though.

 

[kamrat35]

Not at all, unless AI is going to start gardening. But even aspects of that job is going to become automated, as has always been the case.

 

[random6969]

Right now no but give it another 5 years probably. Will it be as good no but it will be a lot cheaper.

 

[OptimusMeg99]

Yes. I work in finance and can see all our jobs going that way soon

 

[Tenebreaux]

I drive a truck for a living. I used to be a network engineer but it started to bore the crap out of me, so I went back to driving. The technology for self driving trucks is pretty much here, but I have ten years or so until retirement, I really can't see widespread adoption over here in that timeframe.

 

[darkstealler]

Try to be one who control those AI so your job not gonna be taken from them

 

[chocolate52]

Not so soon

 

[matoes]

IMHO I think most companies are in a "fucking around" phase when it comes to AI and how it will fit into the future. Regardless if they succeed or not, they will all find out. I work in the retail space so I am not concerned for at least a couple decades.

 

[User_24645]

Nope, maybe in like 50 years, analog stuff is impossible for AI to do

 

[P.M.G]

What can an AI do at a cemetery? (I don't work at a cemetery, but still...)

 

[Takosan]

Nah aint no clanker ever gonna be half as good at being unemployed as I am
