Comment on AI-created “virtual influencers” are stealing business from humans
BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 1 year agoThe loss of influencers more than makes up for the loss of photographers, newscasters, models, translators, and writers.

Every job I mentioned isn’t speculation. Some of those have already been replaced by AI.

Same happened with every other piece of technology so far. Labour will continue to be replaced by machines. It’s up to us to live from the tools and not for them.

Refrigerators displaced milkmen, cars displaced carriage builders and horse farriers, and other various tools displaced manual laborers. Adoption of these advancements was slow and people often had time to upskill to something else, maybe in the technology that displaced them.
With AI we’re talking a massive displacement across the entirety of our economy. Teachers, actors, lawyers, accountants, programmers, chemists, therapists, writers, illustrators, and many more professions could be on the chopping block within a few years. Can all of these people get a job in data science? Ironically, I think the safest jobs (until AI robotics catches up) will be in the trades, one of the main things college goers are trying to avoid. Again, there are only so many toilets.
