For some reason what is happening with AI and automation is very reminiscent of the horrors that happened during the industrial revolution, history repeats itself doesn't it? Nya...

changes: i mean there are similarities with the loss of professions not everything matches what is happening now but some points are worrying. Especially given the likely collapse in the future, I think it may well be that most people will not have much choice, such as working for a small salary, and making money through creativity will be almost impossible and few will be able to afford such a luxury, given that the market will be under the complete control of corporations and AI.

I just know that those in power, once they see that they can do whatever they want, they will do it, and they won't care whether you agree with it or not. They will crush you like an ant... :3

You say "horrors" like the industrial revolution didn't improve quality of life for almost every human on the planet.

It's not about whether it's improved or not, it's about who's hurt by it, i think you need to compare it more deeply with reality. For example, losing a job and the alternative is no better, even worse.

You are glossing over the fact that "who's hurt by it" ignores the future potential benefits.

Not having an industrial revolution would have hurt a lot of people too, condemning millions or billions to the limited quality of life that existed before it. No modern medicine, no modern amenities, just 90% of the population subsistence farming.

Okay, you can read the post again, I tried to explain myself in more detail.
