I’ve been looking more into AI lately and Im wondering, what are tha actual objective positives of AI? I hear “more time for you, we won’t have to work at some point” but currently our society relies on work We put in effort We get money We can spend money No one wants to give out money for free Let’s say that AI does every single job out there correctly What’s left for us? “Lots of free time, you can do anything you want and just enjoy life” Okay but Keeping AI working already costs money Just for electricity to power it up For memory AI is as of now not profitable So if AI does every job Where do we take money to keep it up from? “From billionaires and companies who own and power the AI” Okay Where do they get money from? If we’re not working And we don’t make money for ourselves to buy stuff The billionaires will lose money Unless maybe we like AI will like somehow do the job of production of the electricity Then just No one does anything? And let’s say you wanna buy a coffee What are you gonna buy it with? If you’re not working you’re not making money If you’re not making money you can’t pay for stuff Maybe there’s something I’m missing Maybe I don’t see something PLEASE let the comments be a respectful discussion without calling eachother names I’m not criticising this whole idea I just genuinely don’t understand it So I’d be really great full if someone would explain it to me submitted by /u/flyingfroggy1280
