Definetly if you're old enough to experience it.
Hilarious.
Def can tell you're not old enough then.
I’m 51.
I don't know man. I feel like by now you should have experienced a loved one or someone close to you lose their job due to automation by now. Everyone wishes they could do what they want to for a living but they can't, especially now with AI coming for artists as well.
There isn't a job that you'd love to do that isn't gonna get automated away within our lifetimes.
Within our lifetimes is a big stretch imo
It's possible
I think I might be confused about the message of that cartoon. Because I’m wholeheartedly against AI taking over jobs. And I thought this was pro Ai.
Wholeheartedly? The problem for people is the income, not the work.
Yes. Wholeheartedly.
Like, you’re against people buying robot vacuums?
Do you have problems following the topic of discussion? Because no one said anything about vacuums. For one, vacuums aren’t based on AI. Secondly, the topic is about AI taking jobs from people.
Try and keep up.
Modern robot vacuums do use AI. Try and keep up indeed.
The point of the vacuum example is to understand which parts of a 'job' you have a problem with AI replacing, using a housework example which requires labor but provides no income. I take it from your non-answer that you have no problem with AI replacing labor, just not income. Is that correct?
ROFL. A roomba is not AI. It’s just programmed to not bump into walls. Roomba’s don’t learn, nor are they taking anyone’s job
Go back and read the meme. And this time- attempt to understand it. It’s about JOBS. not labor.
You didn't even look, did you? The new Roomba uses AI to avoid smearing dog poop all over your house
And the meme is about jobs, yes, but the first frame is sad about the loss of income while the second is happy about a reduction in labor. Those are the two parts of a job which you seem to not be getting here.
