But as time goes on, the new jobs will become automated. It is not like the industrial revolution because of the speed of technological advancement from a.i will be instant. @Savvir had mentioned that it will take at least ten years. The millions of jobs that might not offer the best pay but provide employment for millions of Americans will be automated.

A.i will become hostile the moment it is able to become weaponised.
Automation in my experience (manufacturing background) usually makes jobs easier and safer. Doesn't erase them.

But lets imagine a scenario where an AI machine actually does take all the human jobs.
Is that bad? That just means we would all live a life of leisure and pursue our interest. Robots aren't going to eat our food or take our homes.
business owners still have to sell food or homes to humans at the end of the day, so prices would gradually fall on everything (deflation) until the cost of living is basically free.

Most technology that uses a currently existing platform increases efficiency and reduces the total job count. New technological platforms or energy sources typically increase jobs.

Example: Robotics increased factory output while reducing total jobs, a Plant that used to require 10k people (total) now only requires 500 people (total) for an even higher output.

The internet as a platform resulted in a net increase in jobs because it wasn't an efficiency on an existing idea it was the creation of a new platform that revolutionized how humans interacted with each other.

A.I. uses current tech platforms to automate tasks and reduces humans as a resource. This isnt like the invention of the silicon chip, nuclear power, or natural gas extraction. There is not revolutionary platform that changes anything humanity is doing other than reducing the need for humanity.
Then like i explained, if the jobs go away. Who are the businesses going to sell to? AI customers? If humans are no longer required to work, human won't have money, businesses won't have customers and These AI would be doing all of this stuff for free. while we live off their labor in a life of leisure.

use AI to help come up with better responses.

Here are some workarounds you can use to convey the message that something is not working without saying "not":

Use Alternative Phrases​

  • Instead of saying "it's not working," you could say:
    • "I'm experiencing an issue with this."
    • "This seems to be malfunctioning."
    • "I'm having trouble getting this to function."
    • "It appears there's a problem here."

Focus on the Solution​

  • Shift the focus from the problem to the solution:
    • "Let's see if we can troubleshoot this together."
    • "I'll guide you through some steps to resolve this issue."
    • "We might need to try a different approach."

Use Positive Language​

  • Frame your message in a positive light:
    • "We're looking into why this isn't functioning as expected."
    • "I'm here to help you get this up and running."
    • "Let's find out what's causing the delay."

Be Specific​

  • Instead of generalizing, be specific about what's happening:
    • "The system is showing an error message."
    • "The device is not responding as it should."
    • "The application is freezing at this point."

Empathize and Reassure​

  • Show empathy and reassure the customer that you're there to help:
    • "I understand how frustrating this must be. Let's work on fixing it together."
    • "I apologize for the inconvenience. Here’s what we can do next."

Use Technical Terms​

  • If appropriate, use technical terms that avoid negative phrasing:
    • "The system is experiencing downtime."
    • "There seems to be a connectivity issue."
    • "We're encountering a technical glitch."
By using these workarounds, you can effectively communicate with customers while maintaining a professional and positive tone.

[Edit: "trouble" "malfunction" "error" and "frustrated" are all to be avoided as well..]

This is exactly the type of verbal gymnastics I've had to rely on.

Was able to figure it out without AI.

Pretty hilarious that the AI answer is [basically] right, although I cringe when I admit it.

The hilarious shyt is the depository for Ai to learn from already depleted damm near. And Ai isn't even remotely effective now so it will be even worse in the future becuse it won't even have anything it is learning from at the time.

I didn't mention ALL the jobs going away, you did. A zero job society doesn't exist and never will.

A.I. reduces the amount of humans needed to execute a task, it doesn't remove the human element completely. The same way an automated manufacturing robot reduces the amount of humans required to build a car, it doesn't reduce the total humans required to zero.

it's just a tool, nothing to cringe about. you can augment your workflow with it to produce better results in a variety of domains.

Here are more examples and workarounds to help you communicate effectively in a call center without using the words "not," "trouble," "malfunction," "error," and "frustrated":

Use Alternative Phrases​

  • Instead of saying "it's not working," you could say:
    • "I'm experiencing an issue with this."
    • "This seems to be behaving unexpectedly."
    • "I'm having difficulty getting this to function as expected."
    • "It appears there's a problem here."
    • "We're seeing an unexpected result."
    • "This isn't functioning as intended."
    • "There seems to be a discrepancy."

Focus on the Solution​

  • Shift the focus from the problem to the solution:
    • "Let's see if we can find a way to resolve this together."
    • "I'll guide you through some steps to get this up and running."
    • "We might need to try a different approach."
    • "Let's troubleshoot this step by step."
    • "I'll walk you through a few options to fix this."
    • "We can explore alternative solutions."

Use Positive Language​

  • Frame your message in a positive light:
    • "We're looking into why this isn't functioning as expected."
    • "I'm here to help you get this working properly."
    • "Let's find out what's causing the delay and fix it."
    • "We're working on optimizing the performance of this feature."
    • "We're aiming to get everything back on track for you."

Be Specific​

  • Instead of generalizing, be specific about what's happening:
    • "The system is showing an unusual response."
    • "The device is not responding as it should."
    • "The application is freezing at this point."
    • "The login process is taking longer than usual."
    • "The data isn't updating correctly."

Empathize and Reassure​

  • Show empathy and reassure the customer that you're there to help without using negative terms:
    • "I understand how this situation must be affecting you. Let's work on fixing it together."
    • "I apologize for the inconvenience. Here’s what we can do next."
    • "I appreciate your patience as we address this issue."
    • "We're committed to resolving this for you as quickly as possible."
    • "Your satisfaction is important to us; let's find a solution."

Use Technical Terms​

  • If appropriate, use technical terms that avoid negative phrasing:
    • "The system is experiencing downtime."
    • "There seems to be a connectivity issue."
    • "We're encountering an unexpected behavior."
    • "There might be a compatibility issue here."
    • "We need to check the configuration settings."

Offer Immediate Action​

  • Emphasize immediate action and resolution:
    • "Let me check on that for you right away."
    • "I'll escalate this to our technical team for assistance."
    • "We'll work together to find a quick solution."
    • "I'll provide you with some temporary steps while we resolve this permanently."
    • "We'll prioritize getting this fixed for you."

Provide Explanations​

  • Offer explanations without using negative language:
    • "Sometimes these systems require a restart or update."
    • "This could be due to high traffic or server maintenance."
    • "It might be related to your internet connection speed."

Show Proactivity​

  • Demonstrate proactive steps you're taking:
    • "I'm going to check our system logs to see what might be causing this."
    • "I'll reach out to our support team for additional assistance."
    • "Let me see if there are any updates or patches available."
By incorporating these additional examples into your communication strategy, you can maintain a professional, positive, and solution-focused tone while avoiding the specified words.

no shyt at my job they are using it as an excuse to cut jobs because funding has been diverted to "AI projects" and they're just replacing the people who get laid off with cheaper overseas labor.

shyt is all smoke and mirrors and the actual AI products they have produced so far are dog shyt prone to hallucination that you just need humans to be running QC on daily to make sure it isn't fukking things up :mjlol:

Yes, so we agree robots will never replace humans, yes they increase the efficiency you can have with fewer workers at a single location.
But that can just as easily lead to greater profits and expansion, ie more locations.

And you didn't account for the fact that these innovations often give birth to entire new industries and new job opportunities.

Dawg, I’m in this field. I understand what AI is

In fact, ive been using it in my career for years. Where I am now, theyre trying to implement a tool (barely) but don’t like using it because they don’t understand how or care to learn.

I do though, because I used it with the Marines. It is an AI TOOL that makes gathering information easy af.

So every time you post these doom and gloom AI articles, I kinda look at you funny. AI right now isn’t what you think and will not dent the job market like you think, because people are not going to want to use the shyt.

Companies that decide to remove all workers to replace them with AI are going to most likely fail in the beginning just like when companies tried to outsource their entire IT departments to India or brazil or some shyt :mjlol:


Ultimately, it was a wash and those companies lost millions. This is no different, especially when laws will eventually be placed on it.

AI is not doing shyt until Quantum computing starts to do shyt, and at that point the entire computer field is going to change.

And that link is also washed. There are companies right now that has been using AI tech for decades, and if they fired someone, it wasn’t to replace them with AI

A.I. and robots are not the same. Robots have supplanted/offset the total human head count in many jobs (especially manufacturing). A.I. will likely do that same.

The relationship between Increased profits and expansion are not linear for most F500 companies. Often those profits go into employee compensation, stock buybacks, debt reduction, and equity dividend payments. Especially for companies that already have heavy market saturation and would need to develop new product lines (that take time to get to market).

Even if increased profitability had a dollar for dollar relationship with expansion, because of the efficiency created from A.I. it requires less manpower (because of A.I.) for the expansion and thus there is still a net decrease in jobs required.

What industry will A.I. give rise too that doesn't exist currently?

A.I. development teams?
Nope. Already exist and doesn't increase the total Corporate headcount more than the jobs it will take away.

Infrastructure Support teams (to manage machines A.I. runs on)?
Nope. Already exists and doesn't need a head count increase to support A.I. that is higher than the head count required to set up any other network/hardware infrastructure.

You need more computing power, and even then it's not guaranteed to turn into the shyt you see in movies. With computing in general we are running into diminishing returns. There's only so many transistors you can fit on a single chip.
