Black People : IS A-I TAKING YOUR JOB?

[IPXninja]

As far as factory workers... at my job we don't have any AI yet but I was here when they got this new robotic arm linked to a huge digital printer. I'm sure that probably took jobs away from about 10 people with 2-3 operating it. I think that's how it's going to be. Things that can be fully automated will be. And things that can't, humans will use those like tools and depending on the level of automation a lot of people are going to have boring jobs just waiting for the system to make a mistake (and hoping that it does in order to justify their pay).

I was worried until I thought about it. My company is really perfect. It's a 50-year-old family business. A lot of people who work here have been here for 10,20,30, sometimes even 40 years. Loyalty is rewarded (not exactly in pay though). I already mentioned AI to the owner so I'll be the one providing the information and evaluating whether or not it's something we can use. And so if it can do my job I'll simply be the one to interface with it. Programming is still basically "talking to a machine". An AI theoretically just makes it easier to speak in English and get it to spit out the code you need.

Every company is going to go through a similar sort of process but bigger companies will likely hire outside consultants and specialists who won't care about anyone's job. And the more the company is hemorrhaging money on payroll the more motivated they'll be to push for deeper cuts.

You're right but I do think there's going to be a significant backlash from the market.

For example... Frontier Airlines

Frontier Airlines Drops Human-To-Human Customer Service

The airline is relying on digital support. If you check the website for ways to contact them outside of their self-service options on the site or mobile app, you can use chat, email or file a formal written complaint.

Frontier Airlines Drops Human-To-Human Customer Service​

Jan 15, 2023 — In a bold move to cut costs, Frontier Airlines announced that it would no longer offer human-to-human customer support.


So my wife and I found this out right before we were supposed to fly to Florida. I didn't really want to go because ...DeSantis... but the wife is a travel nut who loves Disney and wanted to take her grand kids.

The seething rage she went through trying to deal with bots to get a ticketing issue taken care of was unreal. Then there was some other call center which I'm guessing is level 2 support for different airlines and obviously they were somewhere in India.

And then with the online chat you really don't know sometimes if you're talking to a real person.

So some jobs.. like if you have a job with no human interaction... more of those jobs are going to be robots driven by AI whild customer service will probably keep gettin farmed out to India. But if they keep trying to force humans to talk to robots or people they can barely understand... there's going to be some kind of alternative people are going to run to.

Your generations seem to like this though. They reveled in the app craze. COVID accelerated this
