incoren3 commented on We'll need a universal basic income (UBI) in an AI-driven world    · Posted by u/mockingloris

Everybody forgets that AI is just a computer.

AI cannot dig ditches. AI cannot harvest crops. AI cannot frame a house, fix a car, or do anything else in the real, physical world. It will never do these things, not because of technical limitations, but because human labor is cheap and versatile.

AI can only really take the jobs of those who sit at a computer all day. Even then, I suspect that the only people who really need to worry over the long term are middle management. And good riddance to them.

But either way, there will be no UBI, so don't hold your breath. Our leadership will let us all starve in the streets the second we are no longer required.

People like this are why, as soon as I got my CS degree, I turned around and became a machinist instead.

And this is why I drive a fleet of antiques.

I'll build myself a fucking horse and carriage and go live with the Amish before I accept a vehicle with telematics of any kind.
