          I appreciate how weird this comment is if you don’t know what computers used to refer to…

          It’s also a good example of how you very much can have technology replace jobs.

              Huh? What does having some jobs replaced have to do with humanity being replaced?

              Jobs can disappear overnight due to technology updates, and it’s always highly disruptive when that happens. If large sectors suddenly have to find new jobs, then that creates highly stressful environments and people suffer during that transition.

              The reason AI is scary is because it seems to be something that could result in many job losses very quickly without opening any new accessible jobs as working with AI tools isn’t super accessible.

      i just hope regular people can use decent quality ai freely in future. its great equalizer since as long as someone in the world has been able to do something you can kind of do it too with ai.

          I know, i’m just worried they might be forced to cripple it or shut it down. I use it too.

        It’s already happening that average people can use systems that are crippled and constrained, and government agencies or corporations are able to access models that don’t tell you “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that”
