If you don’t think AI will kill us all

Imagine wanting to replace everyone and not realizing the next logical step

Pretty fucking stupid

You and Marx are in agreement. I always knew you were still a dirty hippy commie.

The reason apocalyptic AI stories resonate is because it's likely

When superior intelligence meets inferior its always bad for inferior

And yes I'm saying the Spaniards were superior in intelligence

Of course.

As the senator (or whomever) once said, if it's going to happen, may as well sit back and enjoy it.

It's going to be like the Jetsons around here. AI will hold your beer, and get you a cold one before you even knew you wanted one.

I’ve been demoing some software packages lately. Hadn't looked at anything for about a year. Got led down the ChatGP rabbit hole in the process.

Incredible how far things have come in a short time. Watched a session where a senior accounting person essentially turned the ChatBot into a first year staff person in about a hour. The learning curve on these machines is amazing and they don't have a know it all attitude like the Millenials/GenZers.

@creepycoug is correct - the low level grunts in any profession are going to get picked off first. If I was a bookkeeper or paralegal, I'd learn how to drive an excavator or build an OnlyFans page. They are toast. And toast like 5 years or less toast. Their only saving grace is partners in law and accounting firms are old and slow to change their ways so there will be a few stragglers. But once the upper level folks start bragging to one another about how much money they are saving, it's over.

Hell, I'm old enough to remember when financial statements were typed up by the secretary - and there were shitloads of secretaries who didn't know shit about accounting, they just knew how to type. Legal matters were conducted by dictaphone and yellow pad. There was no such thing as word processing or spreadsheets.

More senior people will just have their underlings deal with the AIBots and then ride off into the sunset.

The people who should be shitting bricks are the ones in their late 30s/early 40's who've already paid their dues with grunt work but aren't quite old enough to think about retiring. They'll be next on the chopping block. Once the bots perfect the low level shit, their learning will logically move up to the next level of work.

(It was Bobby Knight who coined the 'lay back and enjoy it' phrase, BTW).
