Automation and job replacement is a good thing. The reason it feels bad is because we've tied the ability to satisfy our basic needs to employment. In an economic model that actually isn't a dystopian hellscape, robots replacing jobs is something to celebrate.
And to switch our economic model to one in which a person can thrive without pissing the vast majority of our lives away on the grind; we just need to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps!
This is so important.
An aspect of post scarcity is that people shouldn't have to work. AGI might allow that; LLM is starting to fill some niches.
The problem is how it's being done. Rather than benefiting society as a whole, it's enriching a few. In an ideal world, people whose jobs are replaced should get a stipend. We should all be eagerly awaiting that time when our jobs are replaced and we get a paycheck - maybe a little reduced - but now we're free to pursue our interests. If that means doing your old job, only now it's bespoke, artisan work, great.
The other missing factors are free energy and limitless resources; but we're making progress on energy, but resources are an issue with no solution on the horizon. Plus, we're killing the planet by just existing, so there's that.
We have a lot of problems to solve but AI is part of the solution, except that it's being done wrong. And expensively.
but resources are an issue with no solution on the horizon.
We've got tons of resources, and the means the produce more. The problem is that's not going to make some people lots and lots of money, so they don't do it.
Scarcity is not a problem of "can't" right now, it's a problem of "won't".
What's a personal?
Came here to say this... Personal?
This strip was made by AI, wasn't it? WASN'T IT??!?!?!
It 100% is the new 4o image generation which appears very good in producing crisp panel comics with readable text exactly like this.
The most scary thing is all the people responding with denial, oblivious to this not being human made.
It might be. The doctor ear has different colors. And each robot has a slight difference in shading and shape. An human artist will just simply copy paste all the robots.
It's very human.
"Personal?" Personal what?
I'm presuming "personal assistant" and it got cut off due to being itself AI-generated slop.
Personal is a career?
Probably a hallucination of the AI that generated this
Why is lemmy filling up with AI posts? Its worse that this is on c/comicstrips
It’s not a Lemmy thing, it’s a global phenomenon. Humans are using AI more than ever, and believe it or not, humans use Lemmy.
But its not a gradual change. AI posts used to be rare, in 2 days i found more AI posts outside of a community made for AI generated pictures than in the 2 years i have used lemmy
Any personals here?
The rich will always have money to pay better people to make beautiful things for them
Just be useful to the rich and you'll survive
Just like they planned it
As an automechanic, my job will never replace by AI, but instead we're fucked by low wages and the black box automobile has slowly become.
I wanted robots to do my menial unpleasant chores for me so I'd have more time to do art, writing, and analytics. I didn't want robots to do all the art, writing, and analytics so I had more time for chores & menial tasks 😭
Everyone thinks their own line of work is safe because everyone knows the nuances of their own job. But the thing that gets you is that the easier a job gets the fewer people are needed and the more replaceable they are. You might not be able to make a robot cashier, but with the scan and go mobile app you only need an employee to wave a scanner (to check that some random items in your cart are included in the barcode on your receipt) and the time per customer to do that is fast enough that you only need one person, and since anyone can wave a scanner you don’t have much leverage to negotiate a raise.
I am starting to think this is AI, but I am not sure. The irony.
It 100% is AI, this is ChatGPT's hilariously identifiable comic style.
When I see these kinds of posts I just look over at the vibe coders and just laugh harder than any joke about ai taking our jobs
Oh man is translation not possible with AI. You have no idea how little languages have in common. A lot of terms don't mean a thing, but combine concepts you don't have or associate to point at a thing.
My dad said, about learning a new language, ''cat means cat, not gato, don't translate'' and I think that holds up pretty well from my experience.
I'm not mad at translation no longer being a viable career choice. I'm mad at capitalism making it so.
How safe a profession is depends on how much more expensive replacing robots are than replacing people
Mfw my girlfriend finishes studying translation in 2022 just in time for AI to come in
Synchronous translators are still very much in demand, as well as technical and legal translators.
Meanwhile my (college btw) teacher suggests us to use ChatGPT if we need help. Bro wants to replace himself.
