    There are a lot jobs that a computer simply cannot do, because they are not humans.

    Yes.

    Until we have a robot that can mimic a human those jobs are safe.

    No.

    You’re assuming corporations will wait until the robots are capable of replacing humans before replacing the humans with robots.

      There’s still rules and shit. Maybe not in the US, but here you can’t simply replace a nurse with a dysfunctional robot. You need to prove it works.

        I wonder what country’s workforce the MIT expert was talking about when he warned or AI replacing jobs.

        You’re right though, they’re not replacing nurses with AI. They’re just eliminating the positions, forcing those who are left to pick up the extra work, and closing rural hospitals.

          Nowhere does he or the article mention a country and “Gen Z” sounds like a pretty broad term, don’t you think? There are more places in the world besides the US.

          And anyway, I’m not talking to him, I’m talking to you. And since AI exists outside the US as much as it does in the US, what I said applies to the entire world.

            Okay, that’s great for everyone outside the US who aren’t going to be losing their jobs to AI.

            Not sure if that’s much of a consolation to the literally millions of people in the US who are losing their jobs, or unable to even enter into the workforce.

              No need to be so fatalistic. They can still do the more meaningful jobs where they work for people instead of a company.

                And what are those people going to pay them with after everyone loses their jobs and small businesses are pushed out of the market taken over by corporate capture?

                  With money, like they did before, and before that, and before that… Didn’t I ask you to stop being so fatalistic?

                    Sorry, it’s hard not to be fatalistic when you’re living in the United States right now. Believe me, I would love to live anywhere else.
