With the rapid growth of AI, many people are afraid that it will replace human workers and leave very few jobs for people.
I'm saying this because during our road trip, after the kids had gone to bed at the hotel, my brother and I went to a bar. We met a few people there who had lost their jobs because of AI. One man told me:
"My boss said he had to keep up with other companies. AI works faster than humans, and if we kept using the old methods, we'd fall behind. He said he had no choice."
My brother then reminded me of a side quest in Steambot Chronicles. In the quest, a factory owner asks you to find a blueprint. When you bring it back, he reveals it's for a machine that can produce clothing thread much faster than human workers.
If you return to the factory later, you see the giant machine installed. The workers beg the boss's wife not to turn it on because the factory is their only source of income. She also pleads with her husband not to use it.
When you speak to the boss, he thanks you for finding the blueprint. He explains that if he doesn't modernize, his business will fall behind the competition and eventually fail. Without profits, he won't be able to pay his workers anyway. He says he hates the idea of laying people off, wishes he could pay them more, but feels he has no choice. (I never actually finished the side quest because I chose not to turn on the machine.)
The game has a setting inspired by the 1930s. It made me realize that more than 100 years ago, people feared that industrial machines would take away human jobs. While many traditional jobs disappeared, entirely new kinds of work also emerged.
Today, we're hearing similar fears again, except this time the technology is AI instead of machines. It makes me wonder whether history will repeat itself—whether AI will eliminate many jobs, But will there ever be a new job for people to support the livehood or this gonna be fully take over the whole livehood of humans, Is the people from 100 years fears that day machine take over jobs and livehood of humans
My brain wonder about this ever since we talk those guys
What is your though or opinion about it
