If only there were a way for a group of employees to discuss in unison with employers.
I'm sorry slazer2au but our employment AI noticed you slacking off today, we're going to need to terminate your employment at this time.
For real, at least in a lot of the southern US, companies look out for anyone that discusses unionization and will find a reason to fire them. At-will employment is a curse. My favorite busting technique is the tried and true "Who needs a union? We're a family here." Followed by a pizza party instead of a real bonus.
Incorrect. U.S. Workers are split into two camps:
As time moves on, we expect one of these groups to expand and the other to shrink.
(Technically there's a third group which is the devs who "well actually" their favorite transmutation of AI until you just wander away while smiling and nodding.)
There will always be jobs. If the industrial revolution didn't destroy jobs I don't know what will.
The biggest problem with AI is that companies way overestimate what it can do. It might be able to do a job but it won't do it well. If it does do a job well that means that the job probably was just busywork to begin with.
There will be jobs, but I would argue that there will be significantly less lower level and middle management jobs, meaning it will be harder for lower education workers to find jobs and promotions will be few and far between.
I doubt it
Economic disruptive tech isn't new. Useless low skill jobs will be replaced by more complex jobs that are less soul crushing. Remember back in the day factory work was very bad with terrible labor provided sometimes women and children because they were cheaper. Now we have robots that do most of the work.
AI is replacing all of those simple desk jobs. People like SEO article authors were not doing much anyway. AI can't replace anything that requires deeper critical thinking, knowledge and experience.
