The one and only product for AI is labor displacement and wage suppression. That's why companies love it. That's why people hate it. We don't live in a society where the benefits will be shared. We live in a society that would rather let people die in the streets than potentially hurt shareholder value.
We are bouldering towards the total collapse of society. To me, it's like 10,000 people want to rule the post-apocalyptic world (Fallout style) where asking "maybe we shouldn't have the apocalypse?" is heresy.
the AI bros would counterargue and say that with all the increased productivity, it will just open up more opportunities and thus more jobs. But, i don't think we're seeing that. Net jobs seems to be going down.
I took someone to the ER recently. It maybe took 5-6 people, mostly in poorly paid low level medical positions to take a couple images and maybe administer a shot.
The kicker is the last guy was some remote worker in god knows where who’s sole job seems to be to appear in a screen to collect some small details from the patient and tell them how much the bill was. That’s it! Healthcare I believe is the single biggest industry as far as employment goes these days. It’s basically a jobs program.
