I was just listening to a chap on the radio who was asked by his employer to explore how AI could benefit the business.
In doing so, he realised AI could easily replace him and his entire department.
Imagine being asked to help develop the technology that could cost you and your colleagues your livelihoods. Nine months later in a department of five two had been made redundant and six others from other departments from a workforce of twenty odd.
It's scary.
One of my sons in law is a graphic designer (who has won awards) and he was let go by his company along with 4 others last year. As he said why pay a graphic designer for ‘art work’ when AI is cheaper to produce ‘good enough’ advertising of a product and doesn’t need a pension etc.
It’s all developing at a rate of knots I think and the users are frantically playing catch up plus it’s all going to grow exponentially.
What are your thoughts on it all?
Remember when diapers were CLOTH?
The far left in France, could it happen here?
