It's coming after your job. Why would I want to feed my output into the machine breathing down the back of all our necks? I like what I do. A carpenter isn't going to be happy working in a factory where chairs are made by robot arms. I'm not gonna be happy working in a slop factory

    Your comment was that people should be jumping at the opportunity to use it. I'm telling you why people aren't. Efficicecy is a different thing. Maybe it might be ore apparent to you if you were to say the same thing about outsourcing to oversees rather than outsourcing to AI.

    You literally stated that 8 billion people couldn’t stop the flow of the Mississippi river. Aside from the fact that the Mississippi ebbs and flows from 20 ft wide to a mile wide, 8 billion people take up a lot of mass. 8 billion people could reverse the flow of the river if they wanted.

    I get that your argument is basically "You don't realize how many people 8 billion people is". My argument is "You don't realize how big the mississippi is".

    Bringing up 20ft implies you are including the headwaters which is not my argument. I'm referring to downstream.

    Even if in theory you managed to dam it - the Mississippi is so large and fast moving it would EASILY find another route. Like there would not be a "bay of Mississippi" or whatever.
