It has allowed us to scale faster and hire more people. We employ 30 people that actually make stuff. AI allows small management team and sales to be more productive, allowing for faster growth.

Elon Musk has addressed this issue a few times, basically saying how as technology replaces the need for human labor, there will need to be a form of government income for people not employed.
It is similar to what happened when new technology and machinery replaced the need for slave agrarian labor.
If robots replace much human labor, then either there will become a restless unemployed underclass that will eventually revolt against the system, or they will need to have new professions created, perhaps in building and maintaining the robots, though robot technology could become self sufficient, replacing the need for any human labor.

Sorry Oprah…but this is heading toward the power and money being held by a small tech elite group.
Agree or disagree? Why is AI a good thing when put into the hands of companies like OpenAI who seem to be driven only by profit.
It is environmentally unfriendly for one thing.
Yep. Just wait until 3 Mile Island melts down due to A.I. error. Ugh!

The AI training that I am most familiar with involves recognition and interpretation of road and traffic situations to help autonomous driving technology develop. I don't see a problem with that.
AI needs human monitors to oversee it and implement what it creates, suggests. If it increases productivity, it could lower costs for things that society would like more of (like simple medical tests).
It helps to find a job if you already have one.
However, I'd say the pay sounds suspiciously high.

Never existed. Machines are what replaced slave labor in first world countries.
Only in backwater countries where the IQ isn't sufficient to keep machines running is manual labor still a major part of the workforce.

It will certainly lead to a surveillance state if the masses allow it.

It does have some useful applications — like they use it to review mammogram films and it finds tumors humans miss. Or they can use it to scan faces to look for kidnapped children.
But honestly I think we need to adjust to a new economy in which we are not so dependent on perpetual job growth. Jobs will shrink and humans will be needed for more specialized or creative work, or manual labor where humans are cheaper than machines. Population growth needs to decrease.
