Should we still call it a concern when it’s exactly what is gonna happen??
I’ve been paying attention to this issue for several years. 2023 seems a bit of a turning point. The issue was relatively dormant before, but finally seems to be breaking through into public consciousness. Hollywood writers shape a lot of public opinion & narrative. When the strike finishes, it will be interesting to see how AI is portrayed in TVs & movies going forward. Presumably the writers will spend more time exploring concerns.
Anecdotal I know, but I’ve noticed a significant amount of people opposed to the new AI Art generators on job-replacement grounds. I understand their worries, but ultimately if a future AI/AGI can do all work, were going to need some other solutions to how we organize our societies.
We want ai to replace us. We just. Need to be paid so that the rich don’t get any richer
this and taxes need to keep having progressive levels. Every bit of additional money should take more ability and effort to make. Making more money should not be easier and easier. It should be harder and harder. Making some money should be super easy to the point of a citizens income where you get some for showing up.
