> You think its implausible for AI to replace some fraction of white collar workers?
replyYes, it is. Software already did it. Better software (AI) can only marginally change what's already automated.
Yup spot on.
replyEither people don’t want to believe or they find it difficult to understand.
The only pipe dream AI has is to replace the human in totality. Otherwise it’s at best a complement.
If that white collar work disappears, so does most of the demand in the entire economy.
replyAgreed. The literal CEOs of these companies, and their acolytes, have been proudly proclaiming that you can replace all types of workers with AI. We know they have their anti-human sentiments but this is nothing new, as you said.
replyMeanwhile they pay $500k for the same roles they want other companies to automate (using their products).
