Reply to comment by Ok_Homework9290 in When will AI develop faster than white collar workers can reskill through education? by just-a-dreamer-

A lot of people tend to forget middle grounds as well, the AI doesn't need to be as good or better than you to replace you, it just has to make the guys next to you productive enough so you are not necessary, adjust for scale and you could have 30% of the currently employed people be unemployed really soon, how many of those can re skill quick enough is another story.

Do give examples tho, cognitive labor that cannot be simplified into a series of smaller tasks which can then be automated.

You make a good point, but I will say that productivity has always risen in the workplace, and there's more people working than ever before.

At some point, I do think what you described will happen, but I just don't think that that's gonna happen soon.
