AI skeptic invited onto bloomberg news. Only 5% of jobs can be done by A.I.

[bnew]

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


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

[GatorStaceyAdams]

The recent AI play was simply a market-driven ploy to drive equity prices for any Company that could show 'AI efficiencies'. You even had fast-food Companies mentioning AI on their earnings calls




Remember the driverless car craze back in 2017? Robo-taxi's are probably decades away from being commercially viable (if that), and that would be INFINITELY more achievable than AGI.

 

[Vandelay]

It won't take only 5% and it won't take 100%.

It's not doomsday, but if you can't see that a technology that can fix its flaws, upgrade itself, doesn't need sleep or holidays, all at a rate that no human could ever sustain or reskill for a new industry and it isn't problematic for the job market of the future, then you might just become one of the redundancies it eliminates.

The long-term problem I see for AI is context. But it can easily do most quantitative jobs out there. Qualitative is another story.

Bruh there are 7 billion people on this planet

Most of the 200 million people you linked are using ChatGPT to not really doing shyt with it other than meaningless tasks they probably could just google.

Nobody is using the shyt to replace anything

Guess how I know… because I actually use it at MY job. Not some article online, in real life.

AI has replaced human best friends for 20 million people.

This isn't a joke. It's Character AI's monthly user base.

The loneliness epidemic is making real people *literally* fall in love with AI chatbots.

Here's the startling story

2/13
@aisolopreneur
Character AI lets users talk and "hang out" with AI models as friends...

And it has over 20 million monthly users (!!)

Let that sink in.

That's more than the population of New York City. All making friends with AI.

But how exactly does it work?

3/13
@aisolopreneur
"AI that feels alive" is Character AI's slogan.

Celebrities, historical figures, fictional characters – you name it.

Debate philosophy with Socrates.
Flirt with Margot Robbie.
Hang out with your anime crush.

Whoever you want. 24/7.

It's like texting, but your chat partner is an AI trained to mimic a character.

A recent update allows you to call these AI characters on the phone.

And the craziest part?

5/13
@aisolopreneur
Millions (especially Gen Z and millennials) are developing real bonds with these AI characters.

Instead of real humans. Some are even addicted.

Here's a dark example:

6/13
@aisolopreneur
This person isn't alone.

Many top comments (like the one below) also confessed addictions to their AI companions.

It's a lonely world. And people are finding a cure through AI algorithms.

7/13
@aisolopreneur
But why is Character AI exploding in popularity right now?

20 million monthly active users is MASSIVE, so it's not just a passing trend...

It's a profound shift in how young people are socializing.

Let's break down the factors driving this digital companionship boom:



8/13
@aisolopreneur
1. The loneliness epidemic is real

Smartphones. Social media. Screen time.

All of these have contributed to the loneliest period in human history.

And Character AI offers an instant cure – a partner who's always there, always interested, never busy.

9/13
@aisolopreneur
2. Customization is king

Imagine having a friend who's exactly what you need them to be.

Supportive bestie? Check.
Tough-love mentor? You got it.
Flirty celebrity crush? Yep, that too.

Character AI lets you create or choose the perfect companion.

10/13
@aisolopreneur
3. No social anxiety

A Reddit post went viral where an introvert described how Character AI helped them practice social skills.

The comments were filled with similar stories.

People are using AI to overcome social fears in a safe, judgment-free zone.



11/13
@aisolopreneur
4. It's addictively good

The AI is scary good.

It remembers your conversations, adapts to your style, and can discuss almost anything.

It's like having a super-smart, super-attentive friend in your pocket.

12/13
@aisolopreneur
The top post on r/CharacterAI (1.4M members) is the below meme.

Funny, but it also shows the dark trajectory AI companionship is headed on.

Where does this lead?
What happens when people prefer their AI partners to real ones?

This seems like a Black Mirror episode to me.

Musk said in a formal presentation in 2019 that he was confident that by Q2 2020, FSD would be “feature complete” enough so you could “sleep” while a $TSLA vehicle drives itself, and that this tech would enable robotaxis. These are specific statements that constitute fraud.

I saw a video on twitter of robots/drones doing road repair work in China

So we'll see

 

[Standing on business]

The downplaying of AI in this thread is crazy


Sure in the past most advances came with new opportunities, but when the advances only require prompts a lot of opportunities will no longer be there. Tyler Perry halted an $800 studio build because of sora, that's a small example but still.

 

[Cynic]

The hosts REALLY need him to be wrong. You know they've put a lot of their eggs in that basket lmao

He's making valid points.

It's not capable of reasoning nor understanding what it ingests or puts out.

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Everytime a new technological advance takes a job, it usually creates new ones.

Like you used to have people going door to door knocking on peoples doors to wake them up every morning.
Now you have hundreds of alarm clock companies in a 200 million industry

Used to have newspaper businesses, now you have online vlogs and articles.

Not every advancement is a doomsday prophecy

There was a strike from about 50 thousand workers whom help maintain this country’s logistics infrastructure/supply chain flow because of looming automation, and you say some dumb shyt like this…..

Americans are really addicted to it for some odd reason

We love movies, especially movies where we're the only ones that "figured it out"

Been saying this shyt for a minute. More fear mongering and to sell shyt when honestly, AI is cool but it is more so only useful as a tool at the moment.

And its been around for decades.

Many companies got rid of their phone and chat agents and replaced them with chat bots. Even the amazon chat bot can issue an refund.

A tool performs a task which is exactly what AI is used for. A task is essentially what one does at work.

Not replacing every job but it will impact many.
