What happens to stocks, investing and generally capitalism when automation and robots do everything?

More jobs to fix the robots? Bro, robots will fix robots. Read up on Boston Robotics and Tesla stuff coming soon. We simply aren’t ready for what’s coming.

There is no such thing as “artificial intelligence.” It is a very clever marketing trick to call it AI because you have been primed by movies like WALL E to think that AI is possible.

LLMs like ChatGPT are more accurately called statistical language models, a much less sexy term that doesn’t inspire breathless coverage or debate. All of the tools you have been reading about are based on pattern recognition, not actual abstract thinking or reasoning. You have basically been manipulated by a marketing campaign.

Enough with semantic bullsht. You understood when I wrote. No one is being manipulated by slick marketing. The impacts of AI in the workplace are being felt and these jobs are not being replaced. And soon robotics will introduce additional labor shortage challenges. What are you scared of to admit that?

It’s not semantics. Intelligence is a word with an actual definition and “AI” does not meet it. In this case definitions are very important.

I actually use AI enthusiastically in my job and come up with use cases all the time. But it’s not “intelligent.” It’s a wonderful tool, the same way computers and word processors and online databases and cell phones are tools. It can’t actually do much right on its own and that’s ok- I get a lot out of this tool and am finding ways to do my job better. But unless your job involves no skills whatsoever, it can’t replace you.

One thing I see on here and on Reddit is people talking confidently out of their azzes: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/26/mit-study-finds-ai-can-already-replace-11point7percent-of-us-workforce.html

That’s just another example. I’m no Luddite, but can see that this tech, which essentially improves daily, will displace millions of jobs and potentially our entire current way of life for something new. You’re over here basically putting your head in the sand, but have no clue.

Sorry but this study… looks like total bullshit to me? There are other studies that indicate that AI hallucinates in 30% of the tasks you give it. That’s not even usable for most professions.

There’s a lot of odd coping and contorting in here when it would just be easier to acknowledge that it’s entirely plausible both machine learning and automation are going to be transformative and lead to job loss. It’s already happening. It’s comical you think this is just a normal phenomenon and not a societal sea change.

Explain your definition of intelligence and why AI doesn't meet it.

Intelligence requires applied reasoning. For example if I ask you about a seahorse emoji you will look it up and tell me there isn’t one. You are using your intelligence to understand an unforeseen situation. Even my dog has shown this type of intelligence.

Presented with the same inquiry ChatGPT goes into a freaky error mode and makes something up. It will always have these types of bugs because it can’t actually think. It doesn’t have intelligence.

And yet it’s taking jobs which are not being replaced. Which is the main point of this thread. Explain.

It has not happened yet in any great numbers. Maybe 5-10 years. Yes lots of jobs gone. Not all. New jobs will arise amny we can;t see or predict now. Lots of change and upheaval but no reason to be doom and gloom.

What are these jobs that are being taken? What skills do they entail?

To be fair to AI, you are also not exhibiting intelligence.

So much cope. We’ve never had technology in history that can do humans tasks better than humans and everyone here is glib.

OP is on to something. I do think one solution is to all invest in AI companies so that when the jobs are gone, we have some of the rewards. I did it (and it's already grown 40 percent in less than a year).

[Anonymous]

It’s interesting that no one here can see the bigger picture of this transformative technology replacing the entire concept of “work”. You simply don’t read enough to understand what’s coming. It’s not your fault. How could you understand?

Are you from the 1700s??

AI seems to gather and analyzed the pool of existing knowledge and apply it to current and new variations of their applications very well. I believe it lacks the skill to extrapolate and extend that pool of knowledge into the unknown or unexplored areas resulting in new discoveries. New discoveries have come from minds that challenge the current pool of knowledge and think outside the box, from people who perseveres and and have unwavering belief in their ideas.

Have you ever used AI? What exactly have you read that convinced you that it can replaced the concept of work?
