Reply to comment by LincHayes in Do you think ANY job is safe from AI within the next 50 years? by Aknav12

Well Crypto is sort of the stand-out there.

But the other two absolutely did happen. Amazon is still killing mom and pop shops. They're not dead, but they're severely reduced.

And Industrialization absolutely decimated the manufacturing industry. At least in the developed world.

So following that trend, will these AI models replace all humans? No, of course not.

But jobs that used to be covered by 10 copy-writers or whatever will instead be handled be 1 one guy who knows how to maintain the AI cluster. There will be reduction in once "safe" jobs.

Who maintains the robots? Who builds them? Who designs them?

I'm not saying it's shagnri la, I'm saying many other jobs are created to run and maintain the thing.

The problem is advances in technology replace low skill labor, and replaces it with high skill labor and education hasn't been keeping up. As a matter of fact, education is priced so far out of reach for so many people, that it creates a class system where only those who can afford it, gain the skills to get the new jobs.

It;s obviously more complex than that, but that's how I've seen it over the last 30 years.

That's great. But efficiency means less labor to achieve the same result. It happened in farming.

It will not take as many programmers to replace as many copywriters through their AI.

True, but this is a reality that goes back to the wheel, and permeates through the entire history of man on this planet.
