Topic: AI will put an end to work, says Elon Musk - page 14. (Read 2071 times)

Sometimes, Elon Musk says the truth, and sometimes is not. We don't have to believe 100% or take him seriously about what he said. Because he's just a businessman where every word that comes out of his mouth must make him profit. If I were you, I would enjoy it because he is like an entertainer who has a large social media to play the victim. I wonder, usually, he will talk about crypto which he should understand the current moment, but until today he still calm down. I have think he bought it secretly, and start talking about it after halving. so what does he say now is just to divert the issue.

Elon is trying to extrapolate the extremes of what is possible.   He no doubt wants to reside on Mars one day within his own lifetime, in theory it might be possible just I dont think before he passes away from the fatal limitations that humanity has.
    AI he is probably not especially incorrect either that it could be a vital part of what moves us towards a substantially different economy type, just like modern service industry is very different from our common agrarian origins to society.   A large part of his scenario is something close to free power, fusion nuclear power I think.

AI will put an end to work, Space CEO Elon musk has committed a fallacy of petitio principi (begging the question) because there will still be work but the only fact is Ai's will reduce the work rate in a high level. I don't believe Ai can take over every industry it has only specific areas where it can be of high effect. Humans created this robots and in the cost of creating new robots more people will still be employed to produce this same robots.

The biggest defeat of humans on Ai is rationality, this automated machines are not rational in  thinking infact they respond to issues based on what has been programmed in them. I also believe that is a matter of future as my people do say " when one door closes another door opens"  that means no matter what happens in this future of AIs there will always be a solution to what ever problem.

Therefore, this is just an awareness that has been created by the this tech guru just to keep us all prepared so we can create something more difficult for Ai's to handle. I see it as a challenge that has been thrown to our faces that we should tighten our belts and be more creative.

It is possible to create fear, but only for people who have no knowledge and are not aware of what is being discussed in that matter. I personally don't agree with that either, then you know Elon Musk's style, he won't speak if he knows it won't benefit him.

Also, AI is not able to do everything that a natural person does when working, that's where AI no longer exists in emotion, in which means AI no longer covers or knows whether something is right or wrong, just what it is It will only do that as programmed.

Future AI predictions and how they will affect employment are very speculative. Though it's true that AI has the potential to automate certain tasks and jobs, history has shown us that new technologies often lead to the creation of new industries and jobs, rather than complete job elimination. And even in cases where automation does replace certain repetitive (or routine tasks), there are usually new opportunities that arise, requiring human creativity, empathy, and problem-solving skills. For example, empathy is not something you can get from AI.

There's really no need to panic with such a news, because even if properly estimated, it would take years before AI is well adopted and allowed to substitute for human capital or workforce. Not every country is as technologically advanced as the U.S. with Bitcoin still making a scene since 2009, I am still confident in the fact that it would take good number of years for such a statement from Elon Musk to even have a head.

AI might offer a more advanced technology but I think it can’t totally replace the work force though there are some industry that are more prone to this but if you are working in the industry that you think is still need human then you should not be worried about this and stop stressing yourself. Technology is growing so fast and this is beyond our control, if AI is here to help hoping that the working industry will not be affected that much and we will still benefit from this AI thing.

Tons of people would really be jobless since AI would really be taking over and this is something that we dont really like to hear but we know that advancement is really that inevitable on which means that in case if this one happens then there's no other choice but to find for another job on which we do see that we could really be able to fit out. This is why if you are currently on a certain field of work on which you do see
that it does have potential to be replaced with some AI integration then it would be wise that you should really be that already prepared for possible things to happen in the future.
This is why it would really be that recommended that you do have your own business or investment so that on the time that you are been fired off or laid off then you arent that scared
since you know that you could really make yourself that able to survive even if it would happens.

With the presence of AI, of course this can provide certain benefits and can help and make it easier for us to do our work. However, AI not only brings benefits but also comes with threats. And one of the threats from the presence of AI is the potential replacement or loss of human jobs, especially in the manufacturing, banking and service sectors. So that people who work in this sector are threatened with layoffs which results in the number of unemployed continuing to increase.

And in responding to this problem, however, we cannot go against the development of the times "and will only die silly if we have to collide with such a big wave." But we also can't just sit around without doing anything. Before we completely lose the job we are enjoying now, prepare yourself to face all the possibilities that will happen in our lives, one of which is by continuing to increase our creativity and abilities so that we can have jobs that cannot be replaced by AI. And several observers have indicated that there are several types of jobs that cannot be replaced by AI, including; Artists, politicians, health workers, engineers, athletes and farmers. So before AI completely replaces our jobs, make sure that we have mastered one of the jobs that cannot be replaced by AI so that we always have the income to survive in an era full of challenges and threats.

Yes, there would really be specific sectors or industries on which it cant really be that completely be replaced by AI which does simply means that human work or engagement would really be that relevance considering that there's no other superior things that could beat up human beings in terms of assessment on certain conditions specially on making those crucial decisions which it would really be that something that could neither be beneficial or not on the said situation on which there's no AI could be able to do so. This is why it wont really be completely be ending up all the works that we are really that having currently. Somewhat i do really
agree that with AI integration or its existence itself would really be that giving that huge benefit and convenience considering that everything would really be in automation.

Everything would really be having that seamless work or almost instant way on which it is really that more efficient than on a casual worker but we shouldn't really be removing the
fact that in every pros, there's some notable cons with it but i do see that the benefit or advantage do really outweighs its issues or cons which it isnt really that
bad if we do make out that kind of integration on different industries and as long it would really be that beneficial to human kind then thats what it really counts.

Even if this is possible, even if robots wants to take over human services, of which it can never be possible why?
Not all companies can afford robots for service, even in this digital dispensation some people will not be part of the modern technology. Even if this is possible is there any need.
First let's be realistic can Robots take over humans services, robots are only programmed to carry some certain task not all task, secondly humans are always cooperative so when it comes to task that needs group of people to accomplish a particular aim how can robots fulfill those task.

I see no reason comparing an artificial made with humans, despite the digital world where every companies and organization wants to be part of all this new technology and robots saying robots service are the best, fast and accurate good no doubt but how sure we can trust these robots to carry out task

A lot of topics have been made to discuss this issue, but from all of them, I learned that AI cannot replace humans, no matter how efficient they are, how complex they are, how easy they are, or how obeying they are. It does not matter to humans; they can't have feelings, they can't sense fear or the terror of death, and they can't have the instinct to survive in disasters like humans do.

I don't think Elon is some guy who has full information or ideas about AI and how it can replace humans, but I do agree that he has seen things we don't, he must have experienced technologies we haven't even heard about. But in the end, AI is just a program that is designed and manufactured by humans and will need maintenance and grading.

And do you really think that the friend or ROBO friend that Elon is suggesting to have for his son will be a genuine one? Will that robo friend keep all the secrets safe and not share them with the dad Elon? That robot friend will be a spy, not a friend.

It is such a complex topic to talk about, it is indeed true that AI we can see the massive help of AI on every industry but we've got so much to learn about AI whether it could replace all of our work. Yes, AI does a great job in automating tasks and most of our jobs but there are some things that AI can't do especially with jobs that suggests or may need a very sharp decision making. We have seen AI enhancing what we created, thus giving us more ideas and creative innovation but I don't think that this is enough to conclude that it will end our working power. What I see in the future is a collaboration of humans and AI, unfortunately it is inevitably to affect the employment rate of one's country because human+AI is less work.

I can't imagine what will happen to our children and grandchildren when humanoid robots become perfect and live side by side with humans, it will definitely be an extraordinary and tense experience, however I agree with you that the thing that Elon Musk is afraid of is probably will happen in the next few decades and until now there are many big companies competing to develop their own robots, including Elon Musk himself, what I'm quite surprised about is Elon Musk insinuating about robots and AI which he is actually also developing lol.

He talks about the future as if its about to happen but this isn't something that can happen during the lifetime of his child. I mean not at least when he is a child, could be true when that child is old, but I do not think that it would be much of a help. All that "I robot" type of things are not happening anytime soon, neither AI nor humanoid robots could takeover anything for decades and decades, they are at infancy stages, humanoid robots not even that. So we are just going to have to accept the fact that we will have to keep on working for our life, maybe our grandchildren will be luckier than us, or maybe even their children, but not us, we will keep on working until we retire for sure.

If AI can replace the human labor force then let it be. We will create other job categories where AI can not be used. It seems impossible to some people but just think AI was also impossible to imagine in the 18th century. So you will never know how things are going to evolve.


I don't know about others but I am taking him seriously. If a car can drive on its own and Alexa can book an appointment for you with your doctor then it is also possible that a humanoid machine will work on the field, mine, or in factories. I don't think we need to be concerned about it. I think this will boost our production rate and work efficiency. Our economy will create other job opportunities that can not be done by AI. It is not possible to 100% depend on AI. 

I can't really disagree to Elon's statement. There will be many jobs that AI can't replace. But there are many jobs as well, where AI will eventually replace humans. Especially those jobs, which are repetitive in nature. For example accounting! I have personally led a team to automate the entire bank reconciliation process for a large international travel company in the past. Now that entire function of bank reconciliation is just manned by one very experienced person who check the contras thrown by the system. Which used to be a department, is now manned by only one person.

So there will be many jobs that will get eventually replaced by AI in future. So I feel a strong urge to regulate AI. Elon is a visionary. I wouldn't dare to take his words lightly.

AI is a threat to workers as they are already doing people’s jobs and their perfection is almost 100% compare to human as they do no error and work as programmed.

If people keep using AI, they will find the use of AI very easy and more cheaper than employing human because working with human have some disadvantages which include human error, theft and others.
AI work is good but will make humans to lose their jobs and most people who work for pay do depend on that money to feed their family.

That is a real possibility even if I think we will still need a few decades before that happens, but it is surely coming, however I do not think you can stop it, a business owner has the incentive to reduce costs in order to boost their profits, and without a doubt AI and robotics will be cheaper than human labor, however what to do when that happens? Charge a massive amount of taxes to those business and create Universal Basic Income for everyone? I do not know but that could be an alternative once that happens.

Even a simple machine without AI already removed tons of job opportunities from human especially on factory which manpower is needed. Heavy Machines makes a lot of people not needed for the job since it’s more efficient. I believe his prediction on AI effect in the future has some merit on it considering how human become more lazy due to technological advancement.

I doubt robot can replace human in terms of socialization problem but AI technology might dominate the manpower industry especially the call center area and other work that can be done through the use of internet as source.
