Re: But even so, this lament seems old
the lament is, indeed, old, and looks very much like the moment print press entered the business realm and made all those monks jobless in no time (I dread to think what trade they turned to at that point). But somehow, I feel that the analogy is superfluous. Yes, AI, or whatever it really is, is going to generate million times as much text (and soon movies, and music, etc.) as the wetware-based humans, and sooner rather than later, AI output will match and then outdo humans'. But on top of that no-cost sellable crap is unemployed and unemployable milions in all worlds, from 1st to 3rd (and beyond). And those unemployed, before they die of hunger, might want to riot and hang or string a few of those they deem responsible for their fate. So, to end my long and pointless comment, perhaps it's time to invest in some wheeled AI-robo tanks to keep the world order and the elites safe?
