(1,753 posts)I've been a rank and file low collar worker, and I'll never support the use of "AI" for any reason. There's no need for it outside of taking jobs away from people for the sole purpose of saving money.
Even the Progressive insurance company now has a commercial that bluntly says it was created with "AI". That's the jobs of several animators and artists among other, that will no longer provide income for them and their families.
In Hollywood, the actor's jobs are in danger, including stand-ins and stunt people. Basic jobs that kept families going for decades are in danger of going away in all kinds of fields, like customer service. Yes, people hate that job, but it was a way to earn money.
In the hotel/hospitality field, most jobs are done by "AI". In journalism, in content writing, in all kinds of art, like making book covers, editing of all kinds.
Even here we can't get away with it, because some members seem to delight in asking "AI" for info and insist on posting that slop here. And it's all slop. None of it's any good, certainly not better than what a trained human being can produce.
But, follow the money. Follow the advances, if you want to call it that, in robotics, in automation. There's a reason it's being pushed so hard, and it's not so we can live a life of ease, not having to work at anything. Just wait until that generous basic income starts! LOL Fools, all, if you think any of that is being done for humanity.
Only the super rich want any of this. What they don't want is us. How to you think they'll be getting rid of us? War, disease, pollution and environmental collapse, and whatever else comes along. You think RKF, Jr. is there by chance? You think Trump's insanity is happening by chance? America isn't the only place this will happen, likely already coming to a "free" country near you!
