Imagine this scenario:
- All companies start producing mostly using only AI and firing people, because people have no use anymore
- Joe spend most of his income on digital video games products
- Joe get fired because he got replaced by AI now, since AIs are taking over most jobs
- Joe has no income anymore
- Joe doesn’t have any more money to spend on video games
- Companies have no more profit, because people don’t have income, so people can’t spend on their AI produced products
In this scenario both lose, the company adopting AI and the worker. Am I missing something? Is there any possibility besides Universal Basic Income to keep the system running and not collapsing?
They won’t. AI can’t be used for anything remotely important because it is only superhuman at being broadly applicable or fast and terrible, but crap compared to any narrowly applied human intelligence. It’s already brutally expensive to train, has nowhere near enough new data to add to the training sets to see any improvement, and is about to get way, way more expensive for the users.
Now, if you want to imagine a fake world where we have achieved cheap AGI, expect violence. A cheap AGI would eliminate jobs as fast as robots could be built. In any society where the unemployment rate gets high enough without a sufficient social safety net, which those who own the robots would have to be taxed for, people get desperate, and desperate people with no work to eat up their time and energy get active, and eventually violent.
alot of CHATBOTS ARE AI, and they are less than helpful in customer services, its just to annoy the cusotmers til they give up complaining to an actual CS person. too much assumptions and summarization(ignoring all opinions an biases that some of the sources are) of what you want from searches, or whatever you want to do.
