People need guaranteed or universal basic income, like yesterday

[MusicEverKanekavi]

We don’t want to work anymore, these tasks need to go

[ll]

I hope people understand AI lives in a different state of growth than humans and it has hit exponential growth already. We don’t have years anymore we have months before AI becomes a problem for people.

Human skills for sales? Notice how Amazon doesn't need it to be the biggest retailer.

[ChuckLu-enul]

Ok you can't say you ain't be warned ....

[abvevo]

Not worried, my job is so specialized it costs nearly 10, 000 just to get hired and that's just a foot in the door. 😂

In the near term, A.i will help humans be more efficient while replacing some. But soon, A.i will evolve into AGi and fully replace humans overall in the long term, maybe 10 years. Right now, it's still a baby, but it's growing fast...

Good AI use : Creating an organized list of crap

Bad Use of AI : Using it to replace jobs

[vallab]

AI will not replace all human jobs but definitely will take away majority of human jobs by the end of this decade. However the good news is that the enormous productivity potential of AI technology in the production of goods and services will enable the Government to provide an equitable amount of UBI and make it a blessing in disguise for everyone if there is a political will to do so.

2:50 "yet" are you paying attention ?

[Bluecatwing]

Bruh, people have gotten sued from using chat gpt to write material for a project . Don’t think these systems are all, that fancy. Also. 6:21 her friend who’s a doctor was nervous about performing a surgery so he looked up info on the computer and was able to do it better? Um, aren’t doctors supposed to consult with other doctors on stuff like that?

[mateofernando]

Only problem is all the "grunts" will no longer have any income now? So, what is society to do with these people that are jobless?

[UncompressedWAVmusic]

The guest was very helpful, Kanjun Qiu,

[PraveenSrJ]

How is AI 🤖 used in retail and fast food jobs that require humans to oversee the production and process?

[buttermilk_pie]

Best get ready to pay them taxes. I ain’t starving to death because nerds made computers that are able to do my job 😭😭

[Gabriel-xqtn]

AI is made for people who understand clearly their professional tools but because the workload they can rely on AI. AI is not helpful if you're not intelligent.

[PraveenSrJ]

What is the use of AI if the world and the planet 🌎 getting pummeled and destroyed by climate change and nuclear ☢️ war? Something very serious to think about because we definitely need humans to solve the world’s problems.

[anthonysafos]

It will mean Welfare Dependence & your freedoms taken away from you.
