I get really surprised when seemingly rational people compare AGI to sewing machines and cars. Is it just an instinct to look for some historic analogy, regardless of its relevance?
I am absolutely not comparing AGI to sewing machines and cars. I am comparing ChatGPT and Sora to sewing machines and cars. My claim is that these are incredibly disruptive technologies to a limited scope. ChatGPT and SORA are closer to sewing machines than they are to AGI. We're nowhere near AGI yet. Remember that the original claim was that all 6-year-olds today will be unemployable. That's a pretty crazy claim IMO.
when machines reduced physical labor, displaced people moved to intelectual and creative jobs; tell me, what kind of work will be left for human if ai will be better at intellectual and creative tasks?
100% agree in principle, but the unfortunate answer to your question is: because the people who already own everything won't allow that to happen. Or, at least, not without a huge fight.
