The highest unemployment rate during the great depression was 24%. The knockon effects of almost 12% of the ecconomy losing work will make that pale in comparison. But hey, this 12% is probably just at the beginning. After all, AI is the worst it will ever be.
This seems like a recipe for guillotines or UBI. Wonder wich the rich will choose?
Edir: was he the first of many?
Better service with a more reliable and repeatable doctor for cheaper? I mean, yeah, everyone deserves that.
Literally a hard coded bot that just follows the exact same steps but coded by a professional doctor would be better than most american health care. The sheer ability of a bot to be repeatable and consistent immedietely places them in a different echelon for delicate procedures in the medical field. While LLMs have inherit vulnerabilities such as hallucinations, an actual AI trained on all the precedent cases for our legal system would be the greatest lawyer ever created. Effectively free because it can be run on your local computer, and yet with all the legal knowledge of our entire country in a fairly indexable package? Sounds incredible.
The biggest bit of muance here is that, admittedly, i dont realistically see AI replacing humans entirely at least in the short term. For creative processes that youre not willing to license out to a generative model largely trained on poisoned ai slop, the only way to get a bot to produce anything decent is to give it near human level intelligence at least within its field. Human level intelligence is a much trickier thing to create than basic dumb automation.
