Workers are in danger because of AI?

[bitbit97]

A very controversial thought

Uncle Jack used to cut wood by hand saw, dragged the tree by hand home, processed wood by hand till finished product. Now he has a chainsaw, manipulator and laser wood cutting machine. Now it takes 1h instead of few days to make a product. Now he is a businessman, works, lets say in the office. Machinery replaced his manual labor. Now we face new helper, AI.

Progress can not be stopped. We live in a world of balance. People got replaced by AI, they will find themselves elsewhere. Artists, poets, composers, designers, constructors, philosophers, teachers afraid to be replaced. I see them being more affordable. People are afraid AI will destroy them. I believe people have calculated such outcome and would be smart enough not to give AI full access everywhere.

I'm not denying progress - it's a natural process, since the advent of man of reason
My point is that the risk of Big Language Models paired with Neural Networks is overestimated now. Yes, I agree that they will replace a part of workers, but it will be 90+% of the most inefficient part of working people. On the other hand, I have doubts that these people create a really useful product. there are a lot of people who have been doing primitive work for decades, which doesn't produce anything but jobs for them. But they have not made a decision to develop their knowledge and skills, and move to a higher and more productive level... Sounds cynical - but "natural selection" works in our world too...  And it's an eternal process.
That's why, for example, I am constantly studying new areas, looking for new ways to earn money, or ideas for additional business, which I strongly recommend to everyone!

People will definitely find a replacement that they can use if AI takes their job, but that can't be immediately, and besides, it's not all the time that AIs will take charge; there are still areas where human labour will still be needed in every industry.
 
The only set of employees who are going to suffer if AI is to take total control of organisational tasks are those who don't have physical skills, which require human effort aside from what machines can do, like repairs and maintenance of equipment. Those in that field will still be highly needed at some point.
 
Technological advancement has both positive and negative impacts on the economy. To the company, it will cost them less in terms of hiring workers, which will save them money that could have been used to pay workers, and to the workers, a lot of them will be sent back to the street due to their service no longer being needed in the company.

I only agree with you to some extend. How do you picture an AI in the class room lecturing students or pupils? Will AI also be in charge of making food for familie? All these whole AI Sagar can not entirely take over the labour market, it can not also take over the entire industry, people will still need humans to work.

Maybe AI will replace some repetitive tasks, such as sorting, administration, etc., and maybe that will make people who work in those fields a little worried that their jobs will be replaced by AI. But let's look at the big picture, how in the future this AI can make the industry more efficient and faster, and it will help servers in many areas and it will be able to improve many things such as efficiency, speed, better service, and many positive things other. And maybe this will open up more jobs such as analysis, integration and planning of AI technology, and several other jobs.
Moreover, it is also impossible for companies to replace all aspects of their company using AI technology, because there are several parts that still require human responsibility. And the government may also set regulations that limit companies from being able to use more AI technology in their companies in the future.

The fact is that many people can't understand a simple law, and start making up "scary stories". The law is as follows: man influences progress by inventing new technologies, and these technologies change man!

To illustrate a simple example - the transition from "horse power" to steam engines. This is the simplest and well understood example. When most of our life was tied to the physical strength of people and animals, we had our own set of "in-demand specialists", from, excuse me, slave traders, to blacksmiths shoeing horses. The steam engine appeared, and the same "hysteria" began - infernal inventions, will kill mankind, where to put the stablemen.... And it turned out that at the same moment there was a huge demand for other specialties - from stokers for steam boilers to engineers who develop new steam-powered systems.  And most importantly - it's a natural process !

Only uninitiative people are afraid of AI and loosing jobs. When persons looses job, it does not mean that his life is over. It does not mean that now that person has to sit and wait for death. Qualified, professional or purposeful person will always find a job, will always be busy.

I will give an illustration of worker vs AI like DrBeer did. Like AI now aims only in several working field, then we have young workers and  senior workers. There are jobs where younger employee make is easier, quicker, cheaper, than lets say +55 years old employee. Now what suppose those elder employees should do? Make hysteria that younger generation are stealing their work, while they still have 5-10 years to work?

The only advantage of AI versus humans is that it never gets tired and old. Though a threat to unemployment but I know we still have choices in another field so much better to explore and embrace new ideas. Technological advancement is inevitable so instead of complaining I think we need to accept the fact that it is what it is.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

The world is evolving and so should humans, in no distant time, AI tech would dominate the society and doing most works that humans did, thereby replacing humans. But on the other hand this isn't completely a disadvantage because it would have its own advantages, humans wont have to stress themselves in other to carry out a task, instead AIs would do them with ease.

There are still so many skills that humans posses which AIs and Robots don't and can never do them, humans can feature in these tasks in other to keep earning a living. Because whether we like it or not, the world will keep evolving.

[Mr. Allcrypto]

With time these AI will do most of the work that human do and it will cause lack of employment. And that is one major disadvantage of digital world in the society, so I will advise you to acquire some skills and focus on entrepreneurship too.

Yeah skills is important nowadays especially for individuals like me who has no degree. Skilled workers are still in demand nowadays abroad so much better to grab this opportunity so maybe enrolling to vocational schools will make sense in acquiring specific skills that suit you. AI cannot replace skill specific jobs that fast because it still needs much time for development so it is an advantage for us humans. We can get decent or even high salary from that depending on our qualifications.

Workers are in danger because of AI?
Whats your thought?

As the world goes by day the world is getting full of competition and everyone is creating a competitive environment at work.  Back in the day, robotics or artificial intelligence may not have had as much of an impact on the workplace as it does today.  Workers are currently in the danger zone for artificial intelligence, which is why 40% of their workplaces may fall under artificial intelligence, resulting in unemployment for a large part of the world.  However as the world is moving forward new technology and updates are creating a lot of competition in the field of human work due to which some time it may have a negative impact on the manual workers.

[DragonF]

The truth is that AI cannot take over jobs that require human strength. Humans will always be needed to do certain jobs.

"Whats your thought?

The invention of AI, artificial intelligence has made human beings to lost their job. Because of AI less manpower is needed in so many companies right now,presently so many industry has adopted AI like healthcare,marketing and manufacturing industries. Even a doctorate degree holder, is not  under immunity over AI displacement. Watch out for 2025 how AI will dominate several industries. That's my  opinion.

[Altcoin1998$]

The old tech always gets obsolete. Same is the case with people. The one who don't upgrade themselves to the new techs are going to get obsoleted. AI is just doing it at a very high pace. So to remain in the trend and to remain part of the latest AI environment, all the jobs and people needs to embrace AI and integrate it into their work. There is no other way.

It is natural that the old technologies are currently being updated with new technologies and here the amount of labor of the workers will be reduced to a great extent. Whereas in earlier days it took five workers to produce a product, in this era of artificial intelligence it takes two workers to do that work, then three workers have been replaced by artificial intelligence. There is nothing we can do hereThis is happening due to the updating of civilization and regular updating of technology and it is assumed that in the far future a large part of the workers will be replaced by robots or artificial intelligence and then the world will become more updated and the quality of life will improve.
