“AI isn’t taking jobs”

If by AI we mean things beyond just ChatGPT sure it will, it’s only a question of how long before it happens and how many new jobs will be created to replace the old jobs. For example, AI isn’t going to enhance customer service, you’ll just have better automated experiences and businesses will hesitate less to use them.

Edit: AI isn’t being created for the benefit of mankind. It’s being created in the pursuit of money. This isn’t a utopian fantasy world where we look out for everyone’s best interests, that’s just a side effect most of the time.




Beyond ChatGPT and whatever its iterations are, it will be a matter of time before jobs are irreversibly changed - no one is debating that. But too many people are taking the view that it will destroy more than it create. I think it will create more than it destroy. In many cases, the type of jobs we can do will diversify and make life more accessible.
