What if ChatGPT and AI in general could actually rebuild the middle class? You know, the same way that automation rebuilt the labor industry. What if AI could rebuild the middle class? NPR - https://tinyurl.com/5d62m73n Lengthy NPR article.
%% Sounds mostly helpful.[Actually i get enough business news on Npr, FOX, SRN, WSJ,IBD so i did not read all that] I was thinking your points also, helps cut a lot of labor union fat+ waste . Interesting top 7 auto makers, with possible exception of Ford are mostly non union. I get Warren Buffets warning thru Bill gates on AI not telling jokes, as a serious AI defect. As far as AI being able to super speed info all the legal rulings, maybe?? But Mr E musk warning about AI lies maybe more accurate..............................
%% LOL THAT $40 ,000,000 SEC fine + SEC forced step down as TSLA chairman, might have made him a bit more sensitive to falsehood. No disrespect to mr Musk intended..................... I know when i got a traffic ticket for speeding years ago, it made more careful. Let freedom ring !! ; let the white dove sing-Independence Day Martina Mcbride / >17,777,888 Video Views

Then there is the question of how AI Chatbots will change the workforce. Non-profit organization deals with unionizing workers by a) firing them and replacing them with a chatbot. (The only option is A). Eating Disorder Helpline Fires Staff, Transitions to Chatbot After Unionization The chatbot is named "Tessa" and will replace the entire Helpline program starting June 1. https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7e...aff-transitions-to-chatbot-after-unionization Executives at the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) decided to replace hotline workers with a chatbot named Tessa four days after the workers unionized. NEDA, the largest nonprofit organization dedicated to eating disorders, has had a helpline for the last twenty years that provided support to hundreds of thousands of people via chat, phone call, and text. “NEDA claims this was a long-anticipated change and that AI can better serve those with eating disorders. But do not be fooled—this isn’t really about a chatbot. This is about union busting, plain and simple,” helpline associate and union member Abbie Harper wrote in a blog post. (More at above url)
Nearly 4,000 people lost their jobs last month because of AI — the first time that's been cited as a reason, one report says https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/car...reason-one-report-says/ar-AA1c1vmp?li=BBnb7Kz About 3,900 people lost their jobs because of artificial intelligence in May, a new report found. It's the first time AI is listed as a cause in Challenger, Gray, and Christmas's monthly report. It's the latest piece of evidence that AI will disrupt a significant number of jobs. Almost 4,000 people who were laid off in May lost their jobs because of artificial intelligence, and it's the first time AI has been listed in the monthly report from Challenger, Gray, and Christmas. Some 3,900 of the over 80,000 job cuts that took place in May were attributed to AI, the report found. Other listed reasons that cost more jobs include things like market and economic conditions, cutting costs, restructuring, or mergers and acquisitions. The firm found that between January and May, there were about 417,500 lost jobs, making it the worst five-month start to a year since 2020, when the onset of the pandemic led to more than 1.4 million layoffs. Outside of the pandemic, the start of 2023 has produced the worst layoff numbers since the 820,000 layoffs that took place to start 2009, per the Challenger report. A spokesperson confirmed to Insider that the May report is the first time AI has been included as a reason, and said the cuts all came from the tech sector, which is buzzing with the latest developments in AI tech from ChatGPT to new features announced seemingly every week from companies like Google, Adobe, and Amazon. While Challenger expects the trend to continue, the spokesperson said some companies could be hesitant to reveal AI as a motivating factor for layoffs, and it's unclear how the number of jobs created by AI will compare to the number of jobs that are eliminated because of it. Just last week, the largest eating disorder support nonprofit in the US, the National Eating Disorder Association, confirmed to Insider's Britney Nguyen that it was replacing at least six helpline employees with an AI chatbot named Tessa it has been using since last year. However, the organization said Tuesday it was briefly shutting Tessa down. That came amid reports from one user that said Tessa provided advice like weighing yourself weekly and counting calories, ideas that the user said previously led her to develop an eating disorder to begin with. In May, a British telecommunications company announced in an earnings presentation plans to cut about 55,000 jobs by 2030, many of which were previously planned cuts that would come with finishing certain construction projects. However, BT Group CEO Philip Jansen said the company will replace about 10,000 of those projected cuts over the next seven years with AI, as he said the company's existing chatbot "Amy" can already answer many user questions, and will only improve with time.

Poses ‘Risk of Extinction,’ Industry Leaders Warn Leaders from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic and other A.I. labs warn that future systems could be as deadly as pandemics and nuclear weapons. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/30/technology/ai-threat-warning.html Over 350 leaders in artificial intelligence warned that the technology they were building might one day pose an existential threat to humanity and should be considered a societal risk on a par with pandemics and nuclear wars.
