Or younger kids who rightfully are pissed it's taking entry level jobs away. I'm extremely sympathetic at my 48 years but my god people the genie is out of the bottle and we can't wish it away.
Being optimistic, I see UBI on the horizon. It's absolute suicide if we delay too long.
I am concerned as well that it would displace us from work. But most of the criticism of AI I met are, frankly, older people who think it's still dumb as a rock and could never improve. Although they don't realise that they are likely experiencing averse reaction to what is new. Meanwhile, the younger people, as we are already talking about, recognise it's improving over time. Hence, the youths being concerned of being put out of job (I never met a young person who still think the AI doesn't have any potential). So the latter group recognise that AI is working, as opposed to the older generations.
I won't disagree however the demographic here I imagine skews younger which then makes me wonder about where the truth lies. I can only speak from my experience and I see everyone my age and younger at work overwhelmingly embracing it for different purposes.
My big concern is there seems to be a drop off at 30 on the sheer fact of there are literally no kids to be found at my work. They may be adopting it, they don't have jobs lol
