[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mass job loss due to automation has been predicted since the industrial revolution.  It hasn't happened yet.  Jobs have changed, but not gone away.  This seems to be the likely pattern that will be repeated in the coming decades.[/quote]
+1 AI will create new jobs.[/quote]

This argument sounds ridiculous if you make it about anything other the humans. Did horse employment ever recover after the invention of cars and trains? No, it did not, the utility of horses declined substantially. There is no cosmic rule of the universe that dictates that automation will create enough new jobs to offset job losses. [/quote]

Bad analogy.  Horses were a tool.  Horses didn't decide they needed jobs or go looking for them.  Also the car manufacturing, retailing, and servicing industries have created lots of jobs, including the golden age of high-paid U.S. manufacturing work with real fringe benefits.[/quote]

Not a bad analogy at all. If AI will actually continue increasing its capabilities exponentially, humans will become obsolete “tools” just like horses. I’m hoping there is some limiting factor that severely bottlenecks AI development, but I’m not sure if that will actually occur. [/quote]
