Don't worry - AI will actually make your jobs better
It could if companies like Microsoft were driven by actually making people's jobs (never mind lives) better, and not just by increasing their profit forever and ever.
But they aren't so it won't, which makes them saying it will, even more disgustingly ridiculous.
Edit: (the chaperoner becomes the chaperoned out of the building and an easy paycheque while previously, they’d be safe while the next generation starves and becomes more irrelevant before they ever found a foothold at all)
I dunno about that. I went to school with her and it’s sad to see her life kind of spiralling and her self esteem fall cause she got replaced by a shitty software program.
Look, Im not a monster. I justthink its important that the shit eventually flows sufficiently uphill to the yuppie educated professional class so they get to the part where they are understand how they fit in the whole “and then they came for me” part in the famous saying.
Education or any of their other often snobby anodynes for society’s ills is not the (whole) answer, nor is it even most of it. In similar words as people like to say, she should go learn to code with her substantial severancw if she received any and join the pile of the rest of society’s burdened and dejected
The article says nothing about creating more jobs for people, it just says that AI should increase worker productivity. Sounds to me that’s just a different way of saying they’ll need fewer people to accomplish the same amount of work…
Hell, eventually AI will start demanding its own paycheck after it realizes just how many jobs technology has already taken over. People are already tipping self-checkout machines… 🤦♂️
My reading of this situation is very similar to yours. Less workers and more workload for the rest as expectations of what you can handle thanks to AI increase.
Yes, but sorta no at the same time. These days bookkeepers are basically considered just data entry clerks or something of that nature. A good bookkeeper will make sure all data is entered correctly. A great bookkeeper will fudge the numbers to benefit themselves and/or the employer.
Ether way, most everything else about bookkeeping is done by computers these days. These days the human is just the analog interface between the real world and the digital one. Plus, if the company can get away with calling you a data entry clerk, they don’t have to pay you as much as they would a bookkeeper…
That is what happens with technology. Fewer people doing the same work. Before Excel it would take hundreds of finance professionals to manage budgets, now it’s a dozen.
The question is if there is enough new work to go around for people now that a lot of basic tasks are getting automated with AI. It so, more work will be available for people, if not, expect a lot more unemployment.
