Everyone is so scared of a.i. replacing employers but if everyone has equal access it could just mean each of us can now do 10 jobs each in the same 8 hrs instead of just one. We have already been doing this since using other forms of automation: robots in car factories, daily planners and reminders, alarm clocks, elevator buttons. All of these are things that at one time people were paid to do. We will just adapt and change its really not a big deal. We will be able to make even more specialized careers and businesses. A thousand years ago there were like a hundred jobs to choose from, now there’s like 10,000. With a.i. it will be a million. That’s all. Everything will be fine 🙂
ReplyUSAI! USAI! USAI!
ReplyIf we look at the extra energy consumed by AI I don’t see it solving the climate crisis anytime soon.
ReplyCGP Grey did a video on this years ago and when I showed it to friends and family, they all told me, “Humans will just figure something else out.” Years later, we’re not even close and jobs I held as a teenager are replaced by machines. Progress only moves forward, with or without you.
ReplyWith AI everyone can work 1 day a week
ReplyI hate when people who render AI images/clips consider themselves “artists” — as an actual artist _I_ should be getting credit for having my own work scrubbed to create it. It’s generativity, not creativity.
ReplyI’ve been saying that stock owners to demand for the CEOS to be replaced with AI…. cuz they are the only useless tools of every corporation.
ReplyWere going to be an unemployed worthless hive like in the Bee movie. Except we won’t have an overflow of food to eat.
ReplyThe news claiming they can’t or won’t show something while they parade mass shooters across their channels for views is the definition of tone deafness
ReplyLet’s go brandon stickers profiting off a nascar driver who did nothing political and had his career ruined from being associated with trump. Bankrupt and alone while these vultures make money off his name.
ReplyI can’t make toast but I can faceswap your friends in a group chat and put silly hats on them, try Pirate Diffusion! Link in my bio
Reply“Customer service” AI is the worst. So is AI that makes decisions on whether or not you’re rejected or flagged.
ReplyMore part time minimum wage jobs!
ReplyHere are some key stakeholders that could be affected by this video, along with an evaluation of the potential impacts:
– AI developers/proponents – The video mocks and criticizes their job disruption claims and retraining arguments. This critical evaluation could undermine their public messaging and policy ambitions.
– Displaced workers – It amplifies concerns these workers may have about real job prospects. While potentially validating worries, it does not offer solutions.
– General public audiences – The satire gets people entertainingly thinking about AI issues, but runs the risk of polarization by appealing more to emotions than facts. It could spread skepticism rather than understanding.
– Policymakers – The critique of retraining as inadequate could inform policy debates, but the tone may turn some off or be dismissed as partisan instead of constructive. Facts are implied but not proven.
– Media outlets – News organizations focusing heavily on AI optimism are held up for ridicule, which challenging established narratives could impact their work.
– Companies implementing AI – By raising doubts about the full economic and social impacts revealed so far, it could meet resistance from or face backlash within industries pursuing AI for profit motives.
Overall, while engaging various audiences to think more critically, the confrontational satirical format carries risk of emotion over substance and unintended consequences if misunderstood. However, as entertainment it effectively sparks broader debate, even if solutions remain undefined. A balanced approach incorporating its insights alongside additional perspectives could maximize benefits and minimize harms.

Replyfunny but he didn’t got the whole picture 🙂
ReplyWas that really John Stewart or an ai generated version of him?
ReplyLook, I get where people are coming from. Heck, as someone who wants to be a writer and someone who watches and reads a lot of science fiction stories, I have to be an idiot to ignore the risks of AI. The thing is, I would kind of prefer if people clarified if they wanted to regulate AI or get rid of it because a lot of people in the former category sound like they would be in the latter category.
Also, I’m one of the folks surprised a joke wasn’t made about a simple solution to AI, having something like Universal Basic Income. I mean, why does no one talk about that? Sure, I get why capitalist leaders wouldn’t talk much about this, but what about the crowd concerned about AI? I mean, I wouldn’t be shocked if most people who have a job would love of they didn’t have to work to earn money for food, housing, and taxes. If anything the coming of AI should be the time to really be pushing on this.
ReplyIt’s going to be fun watching governments desperately try to figure out how to tax AI labor.
ReplyJoblessness is not a problem. Not having food, home, or health security is the problem. If AI will take away the necessity for many jobs, then maybe we should take away the necessity to work for the bare necessities to encourage people to seek more fulfilling problems to solve or ways to enrich their lives and their communities. AI isn’t the real problem there, capitalism is.
ReplyProductivity, right. They mean increasing profits. You can’t talk to a person at a major corporation anymore. It’s a conversation with AI that mostly goes “You can’t help me, give me a person.”
