I asked someone this question before and they said it was a really stupid question and I’m not sure why so thought I would ask it here…

What’s going to happen when AI becomes really advanced? Is there a plan for what all of the displaced people are going to do? Like for example administrative assistance, receptionist, cashiers, office workers, White collar people. Is there going to be some sort of retraining program of some sort to get people cross-trained into other careers like nursing or other careers that have not yet been automated? Or are people just going to lose their homes, be evicted and is there going to be like some sort of mass eviction and homelessness downstream effect because people can’t find any work?

      Because something has not yet been proven to be impossible does not make that thing possible.

      Speculation alone does not make a thing possible. You cannot claim that something is possible until you have demonstrated that it is indeed possible.

      All things that have not been proven to be possible have a default state of being impossible until their possibility can be demonstrated.
