Very large sections of the workforce are no longer adequately trained in their field. This was not the case before AI. They need to be weaned off gradually while providing proper training, like a recovering addict.
Seeing as how I live in the 3rd world, it appears my assertions continue to be correct: Western governing bodies have allowed technology outfits to outsource critical thinking leading to dire economic conditions. I would never claim that local conditions are much better, because populations outrank available jobs here. But AI will likely never assume the role of human labour in Asia simply because we don’t treat it like a tool for lazy thinking or a profiteering-at-any-cost machine. We understand the necessity of human labour across multiple disciplines and industries, because even the most incompetent moron needs to eat and enjoy the fruits of their labour. Arrogance, ignorance and indulgence has gotten the better of the West because comfort vs. conviction is a forgotten battlefield for many. I’d feel bad for you lot, but you all did it to your selves. Good luck.
I think there’s definitely truth to this. Since the west de-industrialised and now largely deals in services, labour isn’t really viewed as production of things of value, but just something you do to get a salary. People are utterly alienated from their work and increasingly care less about the quality of the outcome or the society-wide impacts of changing labour relations.
Uh, parse that out. Incompetent morons have always existed. How would it be disastrous to cut them off AI cold turkey?

Why wouldnt they be trained properly and then given a job role? Are they being trained by other incompetent morons or AI?
Yes, they are. In vast numbers.
