What if it just makes most jobs worse, or replaces good jobs with more, worse jobs? "Meat robot constantly monitored and directed by AI overlords" is technically a job.
I can't make up my mind if I'd prefer an AI boss or not. Human bosses can be quite terrible and not having to deal with an emotional being seems kinda nice.
Thar doesn't mean AI won't replace jobs. I don't know the scale, but it certainly will replace some jobs at least. Just probably not the ones we're currently losing.
The ‘white-collar bloodbath’ is all part of the AI hype machine
My personal thoughts on this are - A good lawyer + AI will likely win in court against a non lawyer with AI who would likely win in court against just an AI - A good software engineer + AI will ship features faster / safer vs a non engineer with AI, who will beat just AI - A good doctor + AI will save more lives than a non doctor + AI, who will perform better than just AI As long as a human has a marginal boost to AI…
That’s all well and good for the humans with experience, for whom AI is a force multiplier. My concern is for the juniors - there’s going to be far fewer opportunities for them to get started in careers.

Ok, what about an Average doctor with an AI? Or how about a Bad doctor with an AI?
AI assisted medcare will be good if it catches some amount of misdiagnoses
AI will be terrible if it winds up reinforcing misdiagnoses
My suspicion is that AI will act as a force multiplier to some extent, more than a safety net
Yes, some top percentage of performers will get some percentage of performance gain out of AI
But it will not make average performers great or bad performers good. It will make bad performers worse

Not more.
I will likely be leaving tech bc of business execs getting horny and skeeting all over each other at the cost savings they perceive. The flip side is that now I am using AI for my own entrepreneurial endeavors. Then I get to be the business exec, except my employees will be AI workflows. And I never have to deal with a business exec every again.
I don't buy into this at all:
>Assuming AI will have an effect similar to 20th Century farm equipment’s on agriculture, why will that labor force behave differently to their 20th Century counterparts (and either refuse to or be prevented from finding new jobs)?
Because "farm equipment" can't also perform the jobs it creates. I'm assuming if/once AI can do most current jobs, it can also do most if not all the jobs it creates.
