If you manage to keep your job then sure, you'll be way more efficient. I guess AI will help you with your job search and resume if you're laid off, but maybe companies won't need as many people as they used to. 🤷

I don't know if it's just me or what, but I don't think AI, and eventually androids, replacing humans doing awful grunt work is really bad, it's a system that refuses to figure out a way to tax corporations using AI to support those displaced workers.

For decades it's been the grunt work that was automated and outmoded. Suddenly it's highly educated individuals that are nearing the chopping block.

Nah my job is already heavily automated. All more will do is let me go even faster

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, the point of AI is not that you work better, faster and more efficiently. The point of AI is that you will not be necessary anymore.

If we were at that point there is nothing left to discuss.

Ask the thousands of information laborers, some who might've think the same as you, who no longer have a job because they were layoff when the manager got swindled by OpenAI marketing.

Man a lot of people seem to know what I do for a living without me saying a word about it.

“It doesn't affect me, therefore it is not a problem. Fuck those people, I got mine.” The absolute lack of empathy of some.

I am sorry you do not know what "" means. Maybe ask your strawman to explain it.
