AI will put an end to work, says Elon Musk

[GigaBit]

With the change of era everything is changing so fast that many believe that a time will come when people will be completely dependent on AI. Today's Artificial Intelligent are so advanced that they can do any job perfectly. If this technology is further developed then the next generation artificial intelligence will spread everywhere. And in this situation, the employment of people will definitely decrease. It is natural that there will be chaos if there is less workplace. That is why many people think that there may be a ban or restrictions on the use of this AI. But some think humans had to be more advanced to survive at that time. They should be more knowledgeable. Otherwise they lag behind.

If the central server goes down at some time, will the AI tools (for example robots) that have been created to take over all human work be able to work again?

One thing you should not do is send original and important information to the internet because they will regenerate it.

Rest assured, nothing man-made is perfect, there are bound to be weak points and errors.

Robots and other AI in the future will be used as competitors and even substitutes for employees (as manual labor) who previously worked. In my opinion, this has a good impact on a technology that can work even though not all fields can be done by AI.

If it is said that AI is not perfect, it is true because one thing that AI does not have compared to humans is creativity. but if AI can dominate human work. this has the potential to trigger worse social problems. Unemployment is increasing rapidly and of course this can trigger mass riots. So until whenever AI systems and robots will still be limited, and companies will still need human workers.

During an uncommon interview conducted by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the tech billionaire Elon Musk predicted that if AI is not regulated, there will be a time when no job will be needed. This means that AI tools would take over the entire work of men making paid jobs become reductant. He even claimed that humanoid robots might be a perfect friend for one of his sons who is having difficulty in having friends. I have always believed that regardless of how sophisticated these AI tools become, they will never replace humans. But hearing this prediction for an individual who has a full understanding of the AI sector is frightening. Elon Musk owns an AI company, xAI, that is competing with big AI firms like OpenAI, Google and Anthropic.

These comments can increase the fear and anxiety workers always had that these super-computers will replace them in future. What are your thoughts regarding the statement by Elon, do you think we should take him seriously?

OP you know it's funny saying about his prediction being frightening, of course that was what it was aimed for, to frighten us trying to trick our mind to think that these AI robots are equivalent or super above human intellects and with their existence there should be no need for human services in the few jobs that are available but they're forgotten that it's same humans that invented/created these AI machines.

I don't expect any businessman to demarket and make his business products and services seem less but one thing I can be sure about AI tools is that they can't entirely take over the jobs of humans there will always be an irreplaceable positions for humans that AI can't independently cover. So it's left for we humans to gear up and upgrade our skills to stay relevant in the competition.

You are correct and I completely agree with you, this is also the same point I made in my comment earlier, believing that Ai machines will one day take over from humans and render humans completely jobless is like believing that humans will one day become higher than He who created them us, that is God as we Christians believe.
It is nothing but pure exaggeration, it is plainly stupid to believe such, humans are the ones inventing and building Ai, if we ever arrive at a time when Ai starts rendering humans completely jobless, thereby throwing most of humans into poverty due to lack of jobs or work to do to earn money, then same humans can turn off the Ai and take their jobs back.

It is true that Ai can be faster and more efficient when it comes to rendering services and completing tasks, most especially the very complex ones, but the truth is that, they still can not run without humans interaction.

[mamesso]

The fear and anxiety of humans or workers in general regarding the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology which can replace or even eliminate human jobs in the future is very unfounded. Technology created by humans, it is impossible for something created to take over all the work of its creator because there are several skills in humans that cannot easily be replaced by technology.
Everything that Elon Musk predicts is not what some people fear, humans will remain in their habitat because there will be a number of opportunities that only humans can do. Creativity, emotions and instincts are not easily imitated by artificial intelligence. Human IQ levels will determine the competitiveness between technology and humans in terms of work.

It's a marketing strategy and we accept it not that we are unaware about it but ultimately doing everything possible by making AI machines entirely taking over the jobs of humans it's something I'll advise the AI tools developer's not to even think about it as it can lead to chaos in the society. A jobless man is a hungry man and a hungry man is an angry and we can all imagine what a mob of angry men can team up to do never minding the consequences.

So invariably the turning off of the AI machines as you @FiveStar4everMVP  has predicted of may not be done by the owners (developer's) but by the angry humans whose means of livelihood has been whisked away from them leaving them to their own fate. However, just like you I also think a symbiotic interaction in workplace will be best but saying entirely supplanting humans with AI is just baseless.

[tjtonmoy]

There will always be need for human touch. Even if someone wants to implement AI into machine to give them a body so that they can do every work that a human could possibly do, it will take a human to build that machine. You can't ignore the part where human is needed to make things happen that aren't possible without human. AI is powerful and all but to bring out its best, we will always need a human involved.

The machines are taking over jobs but even with that people still value things made by human hand. The touch of human could easily be recognized if you search for it. But that's not the case for everyone and people are searching for an easier life. So I think I will agree with the statement about making AI regulated. There's no doubt that AI can make your life a lot easier, but the human touch should also be needed. For this reason we need to find a way for coexisting.

Humans aren't going to give up on tech so in the future we're going to work alongside AI. We're working with robotic colleagues today in manufacturing plants so it's going to be building on a platform which's commonly used. Robotics & AI aren't going to stop being used they're future's certain.

But in practice, robots still have a lot of shortcomings. they struggle to understand complex situations, can't empathize, and depend heavily on technology, among other things... that's why humans might still have a place in some straightforward jobs because they bring unique advantages.

The need for human resource productivity will be reduced, we have seen how robotics works in companies to create products quickly and neatly, companies have had many layoffs because their jobs have been replaced by robots, they only need a few employees to move and lift goods using small cars. However, AI is scarier than robot technology, the basic development stage of AI can manipulate media in seconds compared to professional editors, AI can change effects, sound can even imitate sounds to be translated into other languages, etc. I think the presence of AI in work sessions can replace more human work.

[Kelvinid]

Well, we know what Elon Musk thinks about the future, he is known to such an impossible imagination. Of course, AI is somewhat placing some key roles in improvements but in the case of replacing humans, that is really impossible. Human Beings will still dominate, not these robots.
I guess, there is too much from the interviews and biased answers from EM, and I don't if there is someone who is able to support and believe him otherwise, he makes himself like a puppet. Maybe the government will also have their response about it or else, the people will blame them either.

The idea that AI will replace humans is a myth and many people are too obsessed with it. After all, AI is just a technology like any other technology created by humans to serve us. Just like decades ago, people have to use buffaloes and cows to help grow crops. But as the world develops and we invent technological devices, it is not causing any loss to farmers but instead technological devices are supporting farmers. The same goes for AI, it will eliminate some outdated jobs but in return it will bring convenience to us at work.

[dezoel]

I too think AI will make many jobs obsolete, but it won't replace all jobs. There are many industries that still need people.
I don't agree with the fear and anxiety issue at all. AI and robots doing many jobs will be to the benefit of humans, not to their detriment. Future generations can live a more comfortable life. Technology has always been beneficial to humanity when used for good.

Exactly, there are more upsides than downsides of AIs developing to be used to do most of the work that humans do right now. Any technology that is invented to enable works easier for humans and we have seen it happening with every single invention humankind has witnessed, be it cars, electronic devices such as mobile phones, airplanes, or anything in general that is invented by humans and is related to technology is very much useful for humans.

The only big downside that I see of this is that many professionals might have to adapt and choose different fields than what they are doing right now if they are doing something that might be easily doable by an AI or an AI-powered robot because they will have to do something for a living once they might have to leave their positions.

No shit Sherlock! And I hate how they paint this as if it's going to be the end of the world for everyone on the planet once AI becomes strong enough to take our jobs. The government will be forced to take care of us less we die of starvation, and when we die from starvation, no one's going to spend the money that they are trying to make for themselves, meaning these rich people will cease to be rich. That's why a universal income law will be made in situations like this, which will grant the people the opportunity to earn money doing what they love, instead of what they could do.

it's going to be a win-win for the people when AI takes over. It's either they kill us all and release us from this mortal coil we call life a la Skynet, or it would aid us in achieving stuff that we've been looking for for centuries.

[Promocodeudo]

Elon must imagination can be dangerous, at this point unemployment is something else I most part of the world, why will elon even think such thing, this might be resist if eventual perfected by him because the available jobs are not even enough for the populace, he busy think about impossible, this AI works with the information and the command given to it by humans, don't we think the coders will not give it the accurate stuff because if they do there own job will also be at stake, this will be impossible for him to achieve, we have see AI performing many function but the visibility of this one is doubtful and will be resisted indirectly by elon musk work force because of the danger it portrays.

[pawel7777]

Lol, what? You didn't think that through did you.
Give me money so I can give some of that to you so you can get rich  

On a serious note, why are so many people confident that "the elites" will be taking care of the masses if the masses are not only no longer needed, but pose a threat of rebellion etc.

Of course AI is smarter than humans because humans have control over AI. Maybe what we need to be afraid of is the development of AI robots. In my opinion, AI has been created to be able to process all kinds of things. If it is misused, AI could become a world threat, for example in the creation of deadly virus variant molecules. AI can be programmed to create very deadly variants of viral pathogens, imagine if a psychopath controlling AI could have civilization just disappear then this point of view really needs to be thought about.

I don't expect any businessman to demarket and make his business products and services seem less but one thing I can be sure about AI tools is that they can't entirely take over the jobs of humans there will always be an irreplaceable positions for humans that AI can't independently cover. So it's left for we humans to gear up and upgrade our skills to stay relevant in the competition.

Correct. AI is actually good for working in places that are difficult for humans to reach. I also think that not all work can be done by AI, of course humans still need it.

Unemployment rate would really be that on the roof for sure considering that tons of industries had really been that replaced by AI but doesnt mean that government would really be taking  care of us, yes there would really be some patching up for some back ups to those who had lost their jobs whether there are some provided jobs in behind or would really be in some queue if ever they would really be able to get or have some solution.Its true that if people or masses wouldnt really be able to get some jobs after than then there would really be a possible rebellion and this is something that they do want to happen. Criticisms would really be there
but in overall it is really just for the good of humankind on which AI benefits could really make things even more simpler and convenient yet everything could really be done on a swift manner.

It is really just that people wouldnt really be able to remove that kind of impression about AI would really be controlling the world later on which those things are really just that happening in movie. lol
Doubt could be there but the probability for it to happen is almost 0%. Man created AI and there's no way that it could really be that superior than us.

There are just people who misunderstood how AI works and what will be its purpose. Even in my country wherein AI technology is now being tested to sportscasters; some are taking it negatively and some are the opposite. On my end, I know to myself that AI has its limits ‘coz there are functions that only humans have. People are just too scared that they perceive their works as something which could be easily replaced by technologies.

Advancements in technology are suppose to be making our lives easier and not chaotic. Imagine life without computers wherein you will be needing to read the books manually. Now that computers are there, why does books still present?

[GideonGono]

AI could take care some of our work to make it easier for us, but they couldn't really take over everything.
Who would maintain them and fixed them when there is a bug on their system?
Even if they could fixed it on their own there are jobs that only humans could do properly compared to letting AI do it.

I very much share the same opinion as yours: man-power will still be needed, even if AI is rampant. In some countries, it's not all countries around the world that can purchase millions of robots to fit into all the companies in that country. Some private companies can afford a few of those robots, but they will still need humans to do most jobs because they can afford to pay a monthly salary rather than spend so much money to buy just one bot. The second thing I also thought was that, for those people who are doing some day-to-day and door-to-door business (selling goods), will those robots still be in charge of carrying out all those activities? Normally, some of those traders cannot even afford to buy a robot.
