Will they still make a healthy living when there's an influx of laborers fleeing more automated parts of the economy?

GS just put out a report today estimating the impact of AI: https://www.businessinsider.com/generative-ai-chatpgt-300-mi....

I wonder sometimes if these accounts on HN making insane arguments that generative AI somehow won't be economically calamitous are bots. In fact, if I was at OpenAI and the goal was to avert scrutiny long enough to get to AGI, unleashing a torrent of AI shill bots might be near the top of the agenda.

Will those laborers have the skills required for those jobs?

LOL--Goldman Sachs as an authoritative source on the impact of AI.

You must be joking: you actually have trouble telling posts by bots from posts by humans? Even with a large number of samples? (Never mind that you can also look at the account's profile page, which will give you very useful information.)
