SchmidtGenetics comments on Its crazy to me that no one is saying "if rhe AI is doing all the jobs maybe we can spend more time with the family and children we supposedly love."

? The topic is about all jobs.

And what specific jobs have ai taken over that you’re talking about?

Op literally said “if” in their post, you may be off about what the topic is about here dude.

Software engineering for one, and most white collar jobs for another.

If industry follows the example of China's car factories, then manufacturing jobs too.

"But what about gig work?" isn't a very good pro-AI argument to be honest

Gig work is something entirely different. Stop being ignorant.

There’s also salary workers too, they can go home when their expected work is done.

There’s far more jobs than the ones at your own desk dude. You can’t ignore a good portion of the world to make your points, which aren’t even that great anyways.

And none of those jobs have been taken by ai, it’s like saying a carpenters jobs been taken by a wheelbarrow. There’s still gonna be carpenters needed, yes a small portion of that work may be different. But the entire work section isn’t suddenly gone. That’s not what you think happens is it…? There will always be software engineers, they’re not gone are they?

Keep defending AI, dude, and then turning it around and making it sound like it's about my ignorance.

You're acting like I can't see past my own desk? And yet you refuse to acknowledge the impact this is having on millions of working class people.

And none of those jobs have been taken by ai, [...] But the entire work section isn’t suddenly gone. [...] software engineers, they’re not gone are they?

Oh, so you haven't been paying attention? That's literally what's happening. Huge layoffs, tech workers unable to find work in what used to be considered one of the most secure job fields, and worst of all it's entry-level positions that are getting hit the hardest. New grads are almost entirely unable to find jobs. And this problem will only get worse as the senior positions retire and there's no one to replace them because companies weren't hiring new juniors.

And I'm not even a tech worker, so for you to insinuate that I'm somehow making this all about me is ridiculous. There's something called empathy which enables humans to give a shit about problems that mostly impact other people. I know that's so hard for you to wrap your mind around, so clearly you have to tell yourself that I'm actually being selfish by giving a shit about this. Whatever.
