AI will put an end to work, says Elon Musk

[pawel7777]

Work will never end is more accurate to say but it will change in its nature for sure, we can already see thats the case.  Over the last few centuries the world changed considerably away from simple labor and local markets to address the largest possible audience wherever possible.

This is nothing but wishful thinking.
I don't think you can find any serious expert on the matter claiming that human labour is, for some magical reason, irreplaceable. I think by now everyone understands what the technology is capable of and it's not a matter of if, but when.
The argument that automation in the past didn't make people's work obsolete is silly. Just because something hasn't yet happened, doesn't mean it will never happen. We have unprecedented things happening on an everyday basis.

Repeating after Elon is like repeating after Donald Trump. Dont waste yourself.

This is where lay off would really be happening and this is something that cant be stopped because a company would really be that definitely making up those changes but just like on what been said
above that there would really be still those companies  that would really be sticking into getting those human staffs because of the nature of their business that automation isnt everything.

If you are someone whose really that getting worried on losing up a job then it would really be always best that you should really be that mindful on trying to search for another side income
or even those jobs on which you know that cant be replaced whenever it would be happening when it comes to overall changes been made.

We should prepare ourselves to develop creativity before the company we work for adopts AI machines and technology, future changes cannot be denied that companies will update machines and adopt AI to reduce high expenses rather than employing humans with high budgets and working time limits. This is different from technology and machines which can work indefinitely and they only spend a high budget once when purchasing the machine.

The development of AI is still in progress and developers will improve the quality gradually to facilitate more efficient company performance, so prepare yourself to face the future and prepare anticipation to get another job or build a more profitable online business by utilizing the internet.

Sometimes I wonder if the world is ready for such big changes. Big changes take a long time and may cause problems for people to get used to or accept the situation. The development of technology is inevitable and its progress is accelerating every day. Artificial intelligence manifests itself in many business lines.

If the employee does not have an area to improve himself, problems may arise. If artificial intelligence does the job of an employee at a lower cost, layoffs will be considered. The human factor should always be involved in the process, but in some cases, change occurs even if it takes a long time.

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?

Just because Elon might have invested in a few ai companies does not make him exceptionally knowledgeable about the future of AI. He might know slightly more than the average person, as things will have been explained to him in layman's terms, but intelligence wise he is not the one putting the technical work in to advance the technology. If you're talking a hundred years down the line, sure AI might be heading that direction, but right now it is just nibbling away at certain work sectors and is demonstrating flaws such as a bias it might have picked up from all the stuff it has ingested. Elon loves to pretend he is an expert in many fields, but is quite fickle and has cursory information that he tries to project into higher meaning.

You might not like or trust Musk and that's fine, but what he says is no different from what actual experts on the matter say. I challenge you to find a single expert who actually has some expertise in the development of AI (and automation) who would claim that human labour is irreplaceable. Maybe you could find a few of such a decade ago, but nowadays most agree that pretty much every area of work will get replaced eventually.
And given that progress happens exponentially, saying that we need another 100 years for this to become a problem is a massive downplay. Sure, there always be *some* jobs left, but if you can't have a functioning society where the majority of people have nothing to do.

This is not really about elon because if you look at this everyone is entitled to their own opinion their are people that might be in support of the use of AI and even if you are not in support most company are very much interested in the use of AI because it reduces cost they don't mind spending a lot of money for them to aquire. Just to cut down the cost of labour. The only reason I see why humans are important is that Ai can have default and act on its own due to errors. Imagine have Ai even in the military just imagine what will happen if Ai should malfunction their will be lose of life because they don even have feelings so they will do things, without thinking wether humans will feel hurt or not. That is why we are different from them. And that is people are not in total support of it, and even elon uses AY, especially in tesla. He should stop his criticism.

The main risk is that a malfunction causes loss of control from using AI. The impact of a malfunction is very fatal if it occurs in vehicle control or factory machines developed with AI technology, which can cause major damage. However, AI is still under development and there are still many shortcomings, but we have to admit that AI has helped human activities, but every company is still considering adopting the use of AI because they still rely on human labor to work for the company. Potentially in the next 5 years, almost all top companies will use AI for their workers and unfortunately they will reduce the need for workers to save on the company's budget.
