The reasons why so many people hate it. Are lengthy.

A big one is we see jobs already being eliminated. And people like to live in this fantasyland that oh there’ll be new jobs created. But anybody who has studied history, realizes that that’s not going to happen in this case.

For example, when we switched from horse and buggy to motorized vehicles,. The people built the buggies they could be cross trained to build the vehicles. Jobs were created.

When we switched from the mechanical typewriter to the electronic typewriter that was easy cross train. When we moved away from the electronic typewriter to a computer, there were jobs created.

Here’s the problem that we run into. Let’s just look at accounting. Many jobs in the accounting field can be done by a properly trained AI system. Most data entry jobs can be done by AI. Many programming jobs are being handed off to AI. You were seeing this across all industries. Whereare the jobs going to be actually created at?

There are some data entry jobs to program AI. But those are minimum wage jobs at best.

As AI becomes better and better, they will be able to take more and more jobs.

We are already seeing AI being used to create music. There goes a lot of musicians jobs. There a goes a lot of songwriting jobs.

This is becoming a very large problem. Because you will still have the same number of people looking for work, but you’ll have less jobs. That means the pay for said jobs will drop drastically. Supply and demand.

The people who truly believe there will be magically new jobs created as far as I’m concerned or absolutely delusional.

Another big problem is it limits human interaction. I know there’s a lot of people that don’t want to talk to anybody, but here’s the reality. Humans are social creatures. As we become More and more isolated, It becomes harder for us to sympathize and empathize with other people. That makes it easier to create divisions between people. Trust me, the governments will absolutely use that to their benefit.
