    they are experimentally automating lawyers and doctors already, complexity is not the determining factor here.

    what is that something else in life you are going to do when they start pitching us to compete against machines? i can bet my ass on the fact they will use it to devalue human labour as much as possible, and most people cant afford to survive as is.

      Who are those “they” always refered? Isn’t it that the humanity is doing all for this?

        The “they” are the wealthy executives and investors doing whatever they can to optimize every single penny into their pockets

        In a way it is “the humanity doing it to themselves”, but they sure aren’t asking the average worker how they feel about it, or letting them have any easier time because of it. If enough work is automated, they’d rather fire people and have one person work for two while the second person starves.

        in this specific case “they” are tech corporations, tech ceos and their respective shareholders which might include a part of the global burgeoise.

        i think this tech would be used much differently if the rest of the knowledgeable people in humanity had a say/vote on it, besides financial interest.

      Cool. So it’s been 8 hours. How far have “they” progressed? Do I still have to go to work on Tuesday?

      Sorry the influencer you follow can’t get free stuff anymore.

        You are naive to think stuff like this will change overnight. And you might be if you think you are getting singled out and spared.

        I don’t follow influencers nor do I have any traditional social media.
