I did a quick search to find out what a freelance copywriter is. Basically, it's a professional bullshitter.
I'm totally fine with the idea that a machine takes over that job. Anybody get fooled by such a machine is a kind of poetic justice.
AI is unlike anything we’ve met thus far. People who compare it to past technologies are foolish. It is not merely a work tool that simplifies a task, it’s a human replacement technology. It will have the ability to do any job eventually. We’re in its infancy and it’s already causing problems.
People think we can solve this with a UBI but you take that at the sacrifice of your freedom. Without the ability to sell your skills for a wage or take your business elsewhere, you’re a slave to the apparatus that provides the UBI - which will inevitably be controlled by AI
Well boohoo, we’re going to HAVE to adjust. I agree with you 100% about how disruptive it will be, but that’s just a new challenge presented to humankind which we’ll have to adapt to like we always have. Society will have to be radically rethought, which isn’t innately a bad thing. Doom saying provides nothing of value. It’s time to start conceptualizing new ways for society to be structured for people to live with a sense of meaning going forward.
People derive meaning from their work and their family and both concepts are under assault. Being an idiot and casting concerns aside as doom saying does nothing to address the problems.
What are you suggesting to address the problem? I’ve suggested at the very least a general disposition to take regarding the issue - you’ve just said for a second time now that things are scary (under assault!!!) without giving anything meaningful besides expressing your concern. Yea, we get it. We all get there are things to be concerned about going forward. Provide more than your anxiety please sir.
That’s not going to be how that happens… if we were going to do heavy limiting that has to come from government regulations (something many people are resistant to and which moves way too slow to be affective) and gov maybe only just started paying attention (see the essays titled “situational awareness, the decade ahead”)
We are past the “we gotta slow it down and put the breaks on it” option, or some option that maintains the current reality. I don’t have the answer but we have to accept the situation and plan forward, which means breaking ourselves out of the current delusion many have that we can slow the tsunami heading our way. It’s very much an industrial revolution moment in that bitching about our jobs and the evil machines did nothing to slow anything. Let’s learn from history and plan accordingly.
All technological advancement kills certain jobs. It also opens up new ones.
I suppose you are right, we should trash AI and keep the freelancers, even though they can't do the same job as well, or as cheaply.
Yeah, industrialized farming put 85 percent of people out of a job, too.
The artists who make book covers are in shambles.

The solution is to promote the family unit as the basic unit of a healthy society and to heavily limit what we are allowed to do with AI
