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!

    If it didn't, most of us would be working a field for a living.

    So you're claiming AI help drive long haul truck back in the 1980s? Or are we not talking about the same thing here?

    I took it you meant "does technology freeing us from menial task even happened". In that case, I'm answering that yes it did happen, since technology freed us from menial tasks like farming so more of us could study engineering and medicine for example.

    If you are asking if the current set of AI tools has freed us from menial tasks in the past. Well then no, because they are new and didn't exist.

    Yes, well menial labor didn't stop existing. The ratio just changed by a lot. I also figure most on Lemmy aren't working in sweat shops lol, I definitely don't mean Africans working in a pit when I say 'Us'.

    In any case, it's far from peak delusion, it's literally history. Right before WW1, 30% of Americans were full time farmers. Now that number sits at 1.3%.
