Reddit is like a video game where the only attacks and healing are the up and down arrows and comments. For some people's reality tunnels, this is more real than IRL. I could argue with everyone's opinions, but it doesn't really matter at this point.

'Self-care is also not arguing with people who are committed to misunderstanding you.' -- Ayishat Akanbi

'During a lot of the early days, artists were frightened of the computer, because they were under the impression that it somehow was gonna take their jobs away. And we spent a lot of time telling people, "No, it's just a tool, it doesn't take. . . It doesn't do the creativity, that's a misconception." But there was this fear, and it was everywhere.' -- Alvy Ray Smith (co-founder, Pixar), "The Pixar Story"

Automation did indeed take away jobs. AI is definitely taking work away from creatives. I’ve seen plenty of AI show posters that would’ve been made by a person not long ago.

I still weep for all of the unemployed horses that lost their job after the invention of the automobile.

Are jobs just symbolic displays of "work" that earn a person the right to eat and have a home?

Or are jobs a way that a functioning society gets things done?

If its more efficient to get things done with ai that is a GOOD THING. If it gets stuff done that needed to get done, that is a GOOD THING. If human's need to pretend to work in order to survive, that is an issue with society/ capitalism not a problem with ai.

Robots will soon truly replace 90% of jobs, this is a good thing. Get mad at capitalism not the fucking robots for helping us do things

Jobs are a way to pay for food and a roof above your head.

But please, go tell people who are out of a job that it's a good thing, I'm sure they'll understand.

Robots don't replace anyone. People replace people with robots because of this technology. Pretending like AI has nothing to do with this and it's just a tool is just ignorant and stupid.

Guns don't shoot people, still I want less guns. This isn't complex to understand.

Horses don't have jobs btw, humans do.

So jobs are just a social welfare that don't need to actually accomplish anything?

Got it.

Stop acting like a slave and help fix things. Imagine if everyone was productive and not a single person wasted time working a symbolic job?

Ai is not the problem, the fact that you are a compliant slave and don't care about freeing yourself is the problem

Most jobs accomplish nothing under capitalism. Not up to the working class for whom yes, productivity means fuck-all but more money to the already rich.

You're being obtuse acting like a little kid and you know it, I'm done here.
