I agree, AI is just a tool like any other. People freaked out the same way when electricity was supplied to cities for the first time, or when computers started becoming popular. I honestly expected better from a more tech oriented social media platform.
Did the calculator replace mathematicians?
No, but computers did replace computers.
I appreciate how weird this comment is if you don't know what computers used to refer to...
It's also a good example of how you very much can have technology replace jobs.
I'm hoping I expanded a few people's vernacular, or at least vocabulary.
So why are there still jobs for everyone if electricity will replace us all, computers will replace us all, assembly lines will replace us all.
We have had this same fucking conversation for a hundred years.
Huh? What does having some jobs replaced have to do with humanity being replaced?
Jobs can disappear overnight due to technology updates, and it's always highly disruptive when that happens. If large sectors suddenly have to find new jobs, then that creates highly stressful environments and people suffer during that transition.
The reason AI is scary is because it seems to be something that could result in many job losses very quickly without opening any new accessible jobs as working with AI tools isn't super accessible.
Like when cars came out, lots of stables out of business.
