That’s one of things that bothers me about how AI is being pushed in the workplace. Assuming AI actually does manage to help me get my work done faster, it’s not like I get to home earlier or work less days. I’m just going to get more work piled on me.
It has always been like that. We invent machines to help us be more productive. Not to work less, but to produce more. Or the same, but with less people. And every time people protest because they are losing their jobs. Time passes, new types of jobs pop up. Rinse and repeat.
That being said. I’m not particularly on board with A.I. Sure, it can do some really impressive things, but at the same time I think it’s been hyped way above its limits, and I’m not a fan of its environmental footprint. I just don’t think the result is worth price. But I guess only time will tell.
It’s because of our economic system being build upon people having to work to get money to live while at the same time naturally “the system” is trying to be more and more efficient so less and less work is needed. It’s an inherent problem which becomes more obvious with AI. Imagine a world where robots are doing all the work. Wouldn’t it be great? No one has to work anymore. I think it would be possible but only with a radical systemic change how our societies work. Also, I don’t think we are even close to be there, but that would be the goal, wouldn’t it?
I agree, that would be great. But it’s never going to happen. First off, robots need maintenance and supervision. But let’s say we have solved that and we got a robot eco system where they maintain themself without going full terminator. Then we have the human factor. What happens to humans when they have too much time on their hands and get bored. They destroy things. We see this over and over again. This is why we can’t have nice things.
It’s the problem with how companies operate. As a whole we should be working towards utopia. But there’s no desire to pay into social programs, only to extract money from other (usually non-billionaire) people, and avoid paying them so that extracted money stays in their hands. It’s the “No Take, Only Throw” dog meme but “No wages, only spend.”
But NOT pothead! I wasn’t good enough to get the job of festival cop, despite being a juggler. Why I switched to righting so much to get so skilled at it. Education IS our best crime deterrent after all, and I’ve been a crackhead for twelve years now. Has nothing to do with amphetamines. I’m a cop, dummy. I make a difference!
