I don’t know how many times now.I’ve seen someone make this comparison. they love to point out the fact that there used to be forty million people working on farms.And now there’s like three million and all those people just moved on to the things and society was better off. which is true there’s no doubt about it. However, what is going on or potentially going on with ai is not even remotely the same thing. that was one sector of our economy that saw significant change. ai is potentially like having a farm tractor for every sector of the economy, meaning it’s a tool that could reduce the amount of people needed by well over ninety percent. time will tell how it works.But folks, using one off comparisons of one sector of the economy, seeing significant upheaval to justify no regulations and no limits on ai is just dumb. submitted by /u/personofinterest1986
