AI will change the way we do everything. All jobs will be replaced.

Yeah op, it will. Just because ai is an idiot sometimes doesn't mean it won't vastly improve. Many jobs will be destroyed, denying it does everyone a disservice
- You are saying destroyed, as if the job itself is a service. Work is cost not value. You automate work so you can use your energy in more valuable ways (best case scenario having a good time and caring for eachother).
  The fruits of automation being distributed unfairly is another story. Inequality is a political reality, not a technical one.
  However luckily this problem will be shortlived probably since we end up like bugs compared to AI real fast...
  
  Maybe I'm just high.. but I'm confused about your point. I'm just referring to what capitalism has done over and over. Technology does destroy jobs... Yes it also creates them but can that continue forever?

  That doesn’t apply to art, though. Artists enjoy their job and are grateful that they can earn a living by doing it, so the job is the service.
  This would not be a problem if we actually had an UBI-like system or the cost of basic living was near zero, but apparently we like getting rid of solutions before finding better ones.
- They said that about the internet 20 years ago. It created more jobs than there were before.
  
  It also got rid of a metric shit ton of them as well. Like all other economic automation it starts with manual labor being replaced by technical repair and deployment personnel. Then eventually that all becomes automated too.
  In the next 50 years you'll see a whole IT field develop around AI, then slowly it'll phase out low level IT workers and developers until the only people that are left are QA checking on the AI services to ensure functionality.
  
  Explain why buzzfeed shuttered their news division and said they will be focusing on AI.
  
  Yea sure some companies may lower head count in certain areas. The internet era certainly had the same effect. The overall impact had a net positive on jobs however.
