AI will put an end to work, says Elon Musk

[arabspaceship123]

AI's extended past ChatGPT it's moving to our daily life. It's affecting the way ppl work I've seen how they've used it like never before. Paintings & songs have been experimented so have ppl making human like robotics. The tech landscape's changing we've seen strike action by unions in America because movies & tv crew demand protection from AI. If AI dev isn't limited we don't know where it's going to lead.

Although it has not been a long time since ChatGPT was launched (about a year), the significant impact on the labor market can be easily noticed in terms of a decline in productivity for human resources and a large percentage of workers losing their jobs. This does not negate the benefits of artificial intelligence, but we still do not know which is more, the benefits or the negatives.
Elon Musk's call is very logical at the current stage, especially since there is not much that can be done quickly before things develop for the worse, which is what we seem to be actually facing.

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.

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.

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 the future. What are your thoughts regarding the statement by Elon, do you think we should take him seriously?

Yeah, I agree with him, recently I did a post in my local thread about this do you think that AI is a threat to human beings? Elon Musk said many times that AI is far more dangerous for humans. We cannot neglect its ability and its advancement which are increasing day by day. In today's era, the whole universe is almost filled with robots everyone and every company wants to add robots in the field work which will engulf the jobs of humans if everyone wants to add then what will humans do? They have more knowledge having more techniques than humans but I am afraid of their negative side what if they are out of control, a person saying to me that the tech industry trying to put feelings in AI so that they will like humans and never do the wrong thing and my reply to him is ooh really if they act like human beings they are more dangerous they will kill humans to save their race etc etc

It must be admitted that AI is developing very quickly and it is likely that it will replace humans in some fields, especially manual, heavy jobs. But to say that it will completely replace humans in all fields is impossible. The world cannot exist with only machines and machines. Furthermore, I don't think the world will fall into a scenario like Marvell's fantasy films, that's quite far from us. It will not be possible for robots to have emotions and take over our planet. Humans are smarter than robots or anything else in this world, it is humans who create AI and robots, not them who create humans.

Exactly. Even how fast AI development, AI will never replace humans especially if the work needs manual intervention. AI was created and can function based on the inputted data, other than that, they won't function properly as AI does not have the ability due to the limited data it received. AI was created to complement human ability and intelligence, humans still needed for AI to function.

I think people have watched too many Marvel and DC movies and have exaggerated and somewhat paranoid ideas about what will happen. AI only works when we give it data and it is like a support tool, where we store data when we need to use it. It supports us, not created to replace us.

Furthermore, the world is developing, AI will eliminate some jobs but will also create some new jobs for us. What we need to do is adapt to those changes by improving our knowledge and skills, AI is not as scary as many people think.

Exactly, imagine the concept of AI from the movies like Iron Man which is from years ago, and how it tooks years to make something like Siri and Alexa which can assist you as well give you information. These are programmed to help people and give convenience to people, it only could be harmful if they programmed it like a villain to be harmful like leaking of private data, hacking and etc. But AI itself couldn't be independent on its own without the human, imagine if they get low battery who will charge them in the end? It's just simply on and off people are not that dumb for AI to take over the world. But it's really a threat to eliminating some jobs causing some people to lose their jobs like from what I have seen in some fast food, where robots are the one serving food.

Ok, let's say if someone changed the program then what will happen next? Movies are not lies they show you the results of the things that will happen in the future. It's not that they going in the future but they just assume and then show you that this might be happening. I saw a movie in which a scientist made a fully advanced robot, he made this for the military and when he put feelings in it the robot acted like a human he destroyed the robot through it in the dustbin another scientist took the robot and changed the programmed and robot then is out of the human reaches and replicating himself. What if the same thing happens?

Okay, let's leave this topic that they are dominant in the world. We all believe that AI is made for the benefit of humans but through it, many people lose their jobs. A person who is doing a job as a car driver, now lost his job because of autopilot cars, what will he do how he can feed his family? On one side AI facilitates humans but on the other side, they are making people jobless. What is your opinion on this?

[|MINER|]

If you ask me that question then I will say that I will gonna not completely agreed with Elon musk statement but I will also don't agree with his statement. Although currently artificial intelligence has not reached the level of capability to replace humans in all workplaces, I think that in the future, most workplaces will be dominated by artificial intelligence. Although I don't know about Elon Musk's motive behind giving this statement, I would say that the government or such organization should take care or make laws to keep artificial intelligence within certain limits from now on.

Possible downsides of AI are:

• they work without responsibility.
• they can't do multi-tasking suddenly.
• Their mistake was purely an accident that cannot be prosecuted by law.

[jasonjm]

AI is the future, and you will be amazed to see and hear about the things AI and robots can do. When you remove human error from anything, the work will be perfect. I think robots will replace human labour in many industries in future. Although it can replace tasks which are being performed in routine or repetitively, AI might not replace humans in all departments and industries, and businesses will need human input to increase productivity and operations.

AI can do work with efficiency and in less time compared to humans. Just look at the GPT and how it has revolutionized content writing; this is just the tip of the iceberg.

A few years ago, Elon Musk also said that AI is far more dangerous than nukes. As a matter of fact, it is. I think it will significantly impact human safety and security in the future. When there is automation in every field of life, anything is possible. We might not see all of it in our lifetime, but this will happen.

[Churchillvv]

Future generations can live a more comfortable life.

With this technologies future generations will be careless on work life. The extreme comfort of the future generations can lead to crash in human society. I believe that every thing is in a cycler flow, if the future generations are made so comfortable with this Ai it will surely lead to laziness and therefore crash or crisis. More like what a wise man once said that "his grandfather walk 20 miles to work, his father 5 miles to work, now he owns a Cadillac and his son will be on a Ferrari and then his grandchild on an SUV then the great grand son will have to work again. He further said that hard times create hardworking men and hardworking men create easy times.
This how the circle of life works I'm also anxious to what this AI's will cost this future generations. Negating or supporting what I said above time will speak for itself.

Elon Musk, who is also one of the founders of OpenAi, clearly understands the potential that AI can have if it is not managed properly, which can replace the role of humans in several work sectors. This would indeed be quite scary and in the worst case could even shake the economic balance a bit. The result will be soaring unemployment if one day AI is truly implemented in various sectors. This includes humanoid robots which can even be assistants in taking care of the house and other things.

But I don't think this needs to be taken seriously for now. Because I see that the development of AI is not as fast as expected by the researchers themselves. They only become faster at processing more complex data and making conclusions from processing this data. But maybe ten years or twenty years from now the impact of AI which will begin to fill all job sectors will begin to be felt. But there are some professions that cannot be replaced by AI.

Computers took over the job of typewriters. We've heard that AI will take over the jobs of humans but that is not the problem. The problem is,  what are humans doing about it particularly those who are afraid. Are they up skilling to get themselves ready? Or are they whining. There is a certainty that the jobs that exist today will not exist in the next 50 years whether there is AI or not the only people who would benefit from job change are those who upgrade their skill sets or learn a new different skills to fit into their reality. I don't care what Elon says, you all need to re-read the writing on the wall.

The world is changing faster than our age especially the economy. There is a wide range of jobs we have in our economy that no one imagined 50 years ago. If your grandpa ever thinks of it, there will be jobs for data analysts, marketing experts, web security expert etc! There are so many new job positions that exist in the market right now that will be occupied by the AI but that doesn't mean there won't be new job positions for humans that we can not think of today. Those who are whining are afraid of new changes when the solution is to adapt them in our lives.

The development of the world is now faster than before. Recent developments show that technology will develop even faster. When we compare 10 years ago with today, we can see how rapid and great the development is.

Artificial intelligence looks set to take over in many areas. Even this means that people need to improve themselves and strive to be good in their fields. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, it's not enough, but it's still better than standing still.

Change is always happening. We must continue our work to be positively affected by this change.

Elon probably has a greater insight than most when it comes to AI, as he funds a lot of research in the area, however he can by no means predict the future. There is actually a point right now where governments are starting to think about AI restrictions because they could possibly be dangerous if companies are left to develop it alone. AI is already replacing a lot of jobs in subtle and sometimes hard to detect ways, artists for example are losing some work online because they can be replaced by AI created imagery. However he also has his own agendas at play and may be thinking about the commercial benefits that he wants to capture instead of what is greatest for the wider public.

[Ayers]

Elon Musk's call is very logical at the current stage, especially since there is not much that can be done quickly before things develop for the worse, which is what we seem to be actually facing.

I don't know if you know, although Elon always gives warnings about AI, he himself also has 1 or 2 private companies to develop in the field of AI. If you use the X app, you'll see a recent upgrade for your X account. With X's top tier membership for $16/month, you'll also be able to use AI in your articles. I don't know why he keeps giving warnings about AI but he is also developing it and I don't see any serious consequences from it.
It is undeniable that AI has replaced humans in some jobs, but at the same time, its development is also creating new jobs for us. It's like the world is growing and changing.

This has become a mass fear since the emergence of AI technology. Without realizing it, the existence of AI is now starting to gradually shift the work that is generally done by humans. Despite that fear, I still try to fortify myself as much as possible so that Elon Musk's ramblings don't become a boomerang that destroys many people's dreams. Elon himself said that because he wanted everything in his hands, the technology industry, space, finance, transportation, even by ensuring life on the moon, he considered himself more than God.

My view is that in responding to this, we try to continue to improve our capabilities and not depend on the technology that Elon Musk offers.

[arabspaceship123]

I wouldn't say it's like a movie which's showing all AI connected to a central server that's impossible. AI's going to be used locally within work like factories, offices & warehouses. They don't need to be connected to any server except the one that's inside their work area. If humans make paths inside science fiction routes we're going to make fatal mistakes but if it AI's used proportionately it'll have benefits which we're reaping today.

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?

Using robots instead of humans comes down to how we handle the rise of AI. it's clear that AI can handle jobs that are easily visible, but there are still some factors companies might consider to keep using humans, aside from just the human touch. Those who work in a templated way should also think about upgrading their skills to stand out and not be replaceable by AI. it's an option for those who might be worried about the growing wave of robotics.

For some people, harnessing AI and robots could be another choice. Yeah, when it comes to efficiency and durability, robots seem reliable. 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.

[kingvirtus09]

I don't believe that AI can replace the disposition of a human being in terms of a person's job. For example, can an AI robot build a building? Is AI capable of being a farmer? Maybe in other things related to technology, it is possible, but not in the sense of replacing human employees.

I don't know what the intentions of people who think like that really are. Why do you want people not to work so that they can support their respective families? People cannot be lazy to live. I hope the OP gets my point.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Elon musk is a business man like we all know, he also owns an Ai company like the op said, I personally do not expect anything short of what he said from him, a business man must promote his or her business, so I believe that is just what he is doing.

And as for whether he should be taken serious, well, there are some instances and subjects I do take him serious, but when it comes to something he is into as a business, he will do or say anything to promote his business, this is what I personally believe.

Ai will sure one day become very popular in our work space, but I believe that they can safely co-exist with humans, Ai are robots built by humans, from time to time they will need maintenance and fixings, or an upgrade, who gonna do this? It is same humans.

[Despairo]

If AI continues to be the main thing, it could lead to a problem called underemployment. That's not good because it can cause significant issues, such as more crime due to people not having enough work and going hungry. This wouldn't make the world a better place to live.

So, let's not worry too much. AI is going to stay, and it's very helpful. But it would be a problem if the people who make AI end up taking away jobs from humans and causing them to struggle.

Everyone already know if underemployment would exist if there's a new technology or machine that can completely replace someone jobs, but the sad reality is, who cares?

If we're the businessman, we will thankfully with that new innovation since it will increase the productivity and cheaper cost (in terms of long term usage).

If we're the government employees, we might able to propose to regulate AI, but it's all depend on the president's decision. Not every president care with his country and citizens, many of them care with the money and power they have.

So before such situation happen, we should able to adapt especially if we can become a programmer who develop AI.
