A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

The whole premise is strange, too. AI does not 'take' jobs. It frees up people from menial tasks, giving them time to spend their time differently. Perhaps a good time to change the capitalist status quo? ;)
No, it doesn't free up anyone, because it's not actually capable of replacing human effort (unless that effort involved generating gobs of useless slop, I guess).
It does, however, have an impact on jobs insofar as many CEOs, managers, and the like have decided (without evidence) that they can cut labor costs with it. Many such companies that have done so are starting to pay for their hubris, however.
It would appear there are some problems of getting stuck in negativity in this sub and about the subject in general. No system is perfect, correct. The state of the technology is more advanced than how people describe it online.
A likely scenario is that a lot of tasks can be performed or prepared by AI systems, to be checked and finalized by people down the line.
Currently there are still a lot of dragons hoarding wealth, citizens just accepting life and the grind. Like you said, some companies are staying to pay for that hubris, let us hope that trend keeps up!
The positive outcome of this all may be that in some time, many more people will be able to become artists, scientists, entertainers -- improve quality of life!
