The hype around AI and “the imminent singularity” at the moment is hilarious. Another pump and dump tech bubble waiting to burst. All this talk about AI leading to jobs losses is cover for the corporations shedding their useless eaters. The coof lock downs debacle proved white collar workers are simply shoveling BS through a computer in between sessions on Facetube and pR0Nhub. What little they do that actually matters to getting real things done can easily be replaced by automation. Blue collar workers, on the other hand, can rest assured AI isn’t going to lift the burden from their shoulders. Mexican day labourers are still going to be nailing Chinese drywall to your studs, digging drains, clearing the faeces and vomit in old peoples’ homes, making the beds in hotels, etc. You may amuse yourself talking to the silicon faced “receptionist” in the hotel and getting frustrated that it’s like going through an automated phone system only a lot more creepy.
Self driving cars except as a stunt in areas with the correct (expensive) supporting infrastructure are a pipe dream. Humanoid robots are a nonsense, ASIMO was around for decades and Honda never successfully monetized it. Robots and AI can’t handle the real world the way even a dog can. You’ll notice guide dogs and drugs dogs are showing no signs of going away. It’s all fake and gay.
This won’t effect government employment of course, expect a continued growth in the number of “public service workers” most particularly in “compliance officers” and the like (87,000 added IRS officers, climate restriction enforcers, etc.). The AI revolution will have the “unfortunate” side effect of driving wages down even for essential blue collar workers due to systemic unemployment.
What the AI revolution presages, in fact, is a new age of serfdom: thanks to vastly expanded computer processing power globalist parasites will be able to track your every move and automatically punish your undesirable (to them) behaviour from cradle to grave. Welcome to the machine.
