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.


It's pattern recognition. Machines replace human labor, people get sacred, the world doesn't end, we move on. ML is no different.


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?


If there truly is no work to be done, we can finally start living.


Who's going to pay for you to start living?


If the robots are doing everything why does the concept of "paying" need to exist?


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.
