Since 1700 technology has been used to make humans redundant. Not much difference between Jethro Tulls seed drill and AI, they are all designed to replace humans (and remove the associated costs). The few extra jobs created are insignificant compared to the people who are put out of work. My advice… get a trade. It’s practically AI proof.
There is a very definite gap between energy required and current energy availability. We are ploughing on though, wing and a prayer stuff.Thought AI was too power hungry to be viable in the UK given the energy costs
I suppose if you owned a company and were able to get rid of 60% of your staff and have AI do their work and at a fraction of the cost, you would thinkg that

I don’t they’re the worst part of my job

It's a very lonely existence without them, be it work or private life.
Learning a trade is the one. Both my lads went into construction. Never out of work.Since 1700 technology has been used to make humans redundant.

The bigger question is what will happen to all the “spare” people. I have my own theory but I’ll keep it in my bacofoil wrapped heed.
Notably, despite huge automation, unemployment in human society is generally low throughout history with only small localised spasms of difference (e.g. Great Depression). AI won’t make inevitable mass long term unemployment any more than the internet, the computer, mass electricity, or the Industrial or Agricultural Revolutions (all far greater changes) did. If you’re in the wrong specialism then you’ll suffer in the same way as typewriter repair shops and Blockbuster video, but with useful abstraction skills (critical thinking, ability to self-research and self-teach new skills) anyone will be just fine.Since 1700 technology has been used to make humans redundant.

Wouldn’t change my job for the world , it’s quite niche, challenging and sometimes mental. If I could change the people though or be rid of a lot of them I would be even happier
