What could stop AI from doing all jobs?
Re:"AI Will Replace All the Jobs " Is Just Tech Execs Doing ... by pluc on Wednesday June 04, 2025 @11:07AM (#44181507)
Realizing that without feeding AI new shit to learn from, the whole industry is going to stagnate.

Realizing that there are no longer entry level jobs for tech positions and stifling a large swathe of tech professions.

Realizing that AI isn't that good, and the bulk of the workload has become technical debt and nobody wants to be an AI janitor

etc? It's easy really just gotta get your head out of the hole AI put it in

Sometimes the involvement or effort from an actual human is part of the perceived value / willingness of the customer to pay.

- People will pay more to go to a concert performed by live human musicians than they would to listen to a recording or to go see an artificial performer (e.g. chuck e cheese?)

- A "handmade" product, or a "made in house" dish is valued above a mass-production or factory-frozen meal

- A therapist, doctor etc may be valued partly for their bedside manner or ability for form genuine rapport with a patient

- Even in AI _defining and measuring value_ ultimately comes from people. E.g. we wouldn't have the LLMs we do if there hadn't been teams of humans providing input to the RL.

We don't even have a robot than can effectively scrub toilets, if they aren't designed for self-cleaning.

Some will smile at the triviality of such things, but if you solve that you will get very rich. It surely is not at all trivial to solve.

Currently I don't think we can even replace any normal clerk for any slightly more complex problem yet. Programming is essentially a form of translation and these fields will probably change in they get more supplemental tools.

I first thought artists will suffer from AI and perhaps some will be taken advantage off. On the other hand people seem to dislike AI generated content.

Of course we have a machine that scrubs toilets. It only costs minimum wage to operate.

It has no mind.

At some point, it will be expected that people creating content (writing/video/etc.) use a human validation service to prove that they aren’t AI. Anyone that doesn’t use this (and presumably uses AI) will be deranked from YouTube and social media.

And their human content fed into the machine, so it can be mass produced whenever and wherever desired, allowing less of the total benefit to flow to the creator, giving them just enough incentive to keep feeding the machine.

Why?
Re:"AI Will Replace All the Jobs " Is Just Tech Execs Doing ... by keiferski on Wednesday June 04, 2025 @01:19PM (#44183108)
Content ecosystems are only valuable as ecosystems. If everything on a platform becomes AI generated, the average person will stop caring - and they’ll switch to a social network that enforces humans-only.

I don’t think it’s a realistic understanding of psychology or sociology to think that people will be happy only consuming AI stuff.

If humanity survives long enough, it will eventually. It's the end goal of technology.

Lack of actual AI. If ai could do all jobs it wouldn’t need us and eliminate the inefficiencies
Re:"AI Will Replace All the Jobs " Is Just Tech Execs Doing ... by lawlessone on Wednesday June 04, 2025 @11:04AM (#44181468)
Yeah but once it eliminates us it's purpose is completely gone.

The same thing stopping AI from doing all the jobs right now.
