    Yes but AI implementations currently don’t do that. They just make people lose jobs because it makes it cheaper for companies.

    And also AI and automation is jot taking over dangerous and unhealthy manual jobs but it’s taking over programming and graphic design kinda jobs.

      Yes, that’s what happens when technological advances hit an already saturated market. The problem here is that, due to this baby, the fruits of all this automation are going to the owner class rather than the working class.

      They just make people lose their jobs because idiots believe they make it cheaper for companies"*

        Operating costs. Or at least that’s the idea. Don’t know if it actually makes it cheaper but CEOs sure love not having people to pay.

          I assure you it doesn’t, and these fuckups have a significant cost that we will pay, not them.

          Unless enough of us mobilize, then we can absolutely shift that cost, but the requirement is the bare minimum, and unfortunately 99.9 percent of us don’t have that.

          I understand that having fewer people to pay makes it cheaper for companies, but if the AI isn’t performing the duties of the people who got laid off, the AI is not making it cheaper for companies. That’s just a round of layoffs, unrelated to AI.
