If any AI, be it an LLM or otherwise, could reliably operate at professional level without any human intervention, how many people would be permanently unemployable?
The entire point of technology – practically its definition – is to reduce work. For centuries, people have been dreaming of a day when people don’t have to work and can get robots to do it all.
The problem is not AI taking away work – that’s a great thing – the problem is that our current economic system is not designed for this. Fixing our economic system is easier and gives much better results for people than trying to stop technological progress.
My point is more: gosh isn't it odd that people are complaining it can't do all the things, given how radically different everything will be when that does finally come to pass?
