AI is just going to replace everybody.
00:00:03
In the past, new technologies have come
00:00:04
in which didn't lead to joblessness. New
00:00:08
jobs were created. So the classic
00:00:10
example people use is automatic tele
00:00:12
machines. When automatic tele machines
00:00:14
came in, a lot of bank tellers didn't
00:00:16
lose their jobs. They just got to do
00:00:18
more interesting things or more
00:00:20
complicated things. But here, I think
00:00:23
this is more like when they got machines
00:00:25
in the industrial revolution. And
00:00:29
you can't have a job digging ditches now
00:00:32
because a machine can dig ditches much
00:00:33
better than you can. And I think for
00:00:36
mundane intellectual labor, AI is just
00:00:39
going to replace everybody.
