Unfortunately, I see this as only a small temporary setback in the unstoppable quest to replace humans with AI to cut corporate costs. The aspect of AI that isn't discussed enough is not what are those formerly employed going to do next, but rather that it will potentially represent the largest transfer of wealth in history as money which was going into employees' salaries is instead going to shareholders via those large companies who have the ability to produce the AIs (even if there are a host of small companies who act as an intermediate layer, such as the Israeli firm in this case). I do think there is going to be a backlash because of our need for and desire for human connections, which AI won't provide. But that will become more expensive, and not the norm. Just like we can still buy farmer-fresh food but only a minority segment of the population can afford it because it costs 3x what is pushed as "food" at Walmart. |
