Definitely agree. I don't know why they made that prediction that it will happen relatively soon. It won't. While there will be progress in the next few years, most of us don't have to worry about our jobs being taken over by AI within our lifetimes. Just written to try to scare us s***less. And as I said in a previous post, executives and business owners will also be negatively affected. But these types of scaremongering articles never take that into consideration.
Another for why retiring early is the hot-diggity! One less thing to worry about, if one is inclined to worry.
You really don’t understand businesspeople do you.
If a program can get rid of a lot of expenses, like wages, then the wealthy will jump on it.
Don't understand business people? I was a business person for nearly 38 years in several large and medium-sized corporations. I disagree with the article's premise that "within a few years, 80% of jobs could be replaced by AI." No, it won't happen in a few years and I detailed exactly why.

Yup. And I'm retired so I don't have to worry. And no matter how greedy and obsessed businesspeople are about saving money, they can't hurry along AI. It will take its sweet time in taking over all jobs. A very long time.
You too, are conflating automation with AI. Yes, I think sometime in the future, there will be AI cops. But that will be years from now. Robots are not automatically AI.
Just heard on the radio yesterday that Wendy's is rolling out a drive through service with a modified AI chatbot to take orders. The order will be sent to a screen in the kitchen prepared accordingly.
It's already taking jobs. Granted it's just a order taker type of job, but it can easily take over many things such as lawyers, judges, various types of writers could be made obsolete soon too.
The best we can hope for is that it can be managed and used to supplement workers and not replace them completely.
That's probably the most optimistic view of the situation that I can come up with.
Actually, they will be. No jobs are immune. Robotics will be instrumental in assuring that. Robots will be able to do those jobs faster, better, and most importantly, cheaply. People simply would not be able to compete with that.
Robots aren't unclogging your toilet or wiring your house anytime in near future.
Q: Isn't their potential to replace people's jobs a threat?
"You could probably obsolete maybe 80 percent of jobs that people do, without having an AGI, by my guess. Not with ChatGPT exactly as a product. But with systems of that nature, which are going to follow in the next few years.
"I don't think it's a threat. I think it's a benefit. People can find better things to do with their life than work for a living... Pretty much every job involving paperwork should be automatable.
"The problem I see is in the interim period, when AIs are obsoleting one human job after another... I don't know how (to) solve all the social issues."
Maybe 80% of college educated women's jobs, but the difficult manual labor and trade skill jobs that men do cannot be replaced by a computer software

Exactly. A welder, brick layer, plumber, electrician, electronics technician, or construction workers are not going to be replaced by AI.

But they will be able to do that eventually. And robots can be designed to be more dexterous, more nimble, and far stronger than people. And they will be able to do the job faster, better, and cheaper. It will happen.
That said, it will be quite a while before that happens. Plumber and electrician jobs are quite safe. For now.

Can't be done by software and hardware alone. But combined with robotics, can easily be. Will take awhile though.
