Sure that’s all bad for AI in the long term, and maybe a few bosses in the short term, but the workers that are being targeted for replacement won’t stop being targeted for replacement. People should be abandoning companies that are doing this, but most don’t have the luxury to just quit their jobs. I think we focus far too much on the tools we use to replace people and not enough on the people who want to use tools to replace people. We could just stop supporting those people.
Okay, but that goes back to what I said before, the bosses are oblivious to how poor this technology actually is and are sleepwalking into a disaster. They’re trying to replace their workers with something that can’t replace them and this will have serious consequences, not just for the AI companies, but for the entire economy.
That’s why we need to make sure they don’t escape on their golden parachutes.
In the meantime, the workers could organize and demand the bosses stop trying to replace them.
