People here are extra anxious about the impact of AI on their lives, so I am not surprised that any text which touches the topic gets upvoted. We are somewhat violent species, so I agree that almost every significant economic and societal development has the potential to trigger some violence. That said, the jobs that are potentially threatened by AI are nowadays usually done by fairly sedentary people, so I wouldn't expect any large-scale violence, an occasional Ted Kaczynski notwithstanding. Programmers, translators and painters just aren't used to destroying things in the real world. It would have been different if AI started to replace drug dealers or the mob. | ||
