OpenAI CTO says AI should displace some creative jobs that shouldn't exist (opens in new tab)

I honestly believe it so but at a gradual pace and not in entirety. Think about 10 years back when we laughed at the potential of AI but now we are living in the middle of those potential transforming into reality and action. We have lot of well wishers very optimistic and on the another spectrum just predicting collapse. The jobs will slowly disappear at the least white collar jobs but blue collars will stay for some time to come longer than white collar. As the transformation unfolds Government will do some kind of protectionism if UBI is not possible. Potentially jobs could stay because of government protectionism not because of technological in capacity. But this government protectionism cannot hold for long because corporates will find a way to force the government for UBI. UBI is nothing full blown welfare, if UBI is not in the picture who is going to buy the products if people has no money. If the production is at a staggering level we need consumers to consume and if consumers has no money the whole purpose of AI benefitting the humanity is just a lip service. I think the technology will continue to grow at a staggering pace but how it will transform the society will be a wait and watch game. Global warming is already threatening the human survival so that is another challenging issue. if AI can actually help to reduce global warming by finding a solution or taking up the jobs and create less carbon print and helps in UBI for all then this will be like true heaven on earth.

Watch videos with OpenAI execs without sound. It’s quite obvious they’re making up their outlandish claims as they go along. It makes me kind of worried actually that there’s not much more gas in their particular tank and the whole “transformers can do everything” thing is reaching a plateau.

This might seem like a childish retort, but I genuinely think that the job of CEO should definitely be given to AIs. I mean, it's both the most expensive and most risky job of them all, and there's nothing a CEO does that even the current LLMs couldn't handle.

The ROI should be fairly high.
