Large language model artificial intelligence programs like ChatGPT by Open AI, others coming from the likes of Google
\n GOOG
\n <\/fbs-ticker> and Microsoft
\n MSFT
\n <\/fbs-ticker>, and systems that can generate new images have set off an uproar by many fearing for their jobs. For good reason.<\/p>\n

Already writers, editors, journalists, photographers, illustrators, artists, models, actors, administrative assistants, and others in creative fields are seeing work beginning to slip away. The process will continue because corporate executives want to cut out expenses to increase profits. They will say that it frees workers to do more important work, but that is a lie. There isn\u2019t enough of that more important work to employ all the people who will lose their jobs.<\/p>\n

And it isn\u2019t stopping there. Wendy\u2019s is training AI bots to replace humans taking orders at fast food drive-through windows, reports the Wall Street Journal. \u201cIt will be very conversational,\u201d the company\u2019s CEO Todd Penegor told the paper. \u201cYou won\u2019t know you\u2019re talking to anybody but an employee.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Street wrote about Carl\u2019s Jr. and Hardee\u2019s doing something similar and how the technology “increases revenue, improves labor productivity, and enhances the guest and staff experience.” The publication also ran the headline, \u201cThese Fast Food Chains Using AI to (Finally) Get Your Order Right.\u201d Interesting implications. \u201cGet rid of the damned humans already and get me my fries and burger with extra pickles.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n

There was mention at the end of customers already complaining and the negative impact on staff. The former get mad when AI also makes mistakes, and the latter are upset about jobs disappearing. \u201cImproves labor productivity\u201d is corporate speak for \u201cwe get to cut jobs that society might need.\u201d They don\u2019t say it in that way publicly because it\u2019s bad PR.<\/p>\n

The dissembling has worked because society waves off these jobs as unimportant. Get more training or learning, do something robots and software can\u2019t take away. Ultimately, what would that be? In 2015, there were already anesthesiologists and surgeons being displaced as robotic systems allowed professionals respectively to oversee anesthesia for multiple colonoscopy procedures or perform hair transplants on more than one person at the same time. That was eight years ago. What will they be able to do in a few more?<\/p>\n

Need programming? Ask a chat bot to do some for you. Legal work? Already in progress. Financial advisors? AI will do that as well.<\/p>\n

Many people regularly tell themselves lies passed on from one person to the next. Lies like technology always creates more jobs than it destroys. Tell that to people in the Rust Belt who have seen so much manufacturing work moved overseas and then that reduced by the introduction of robots because humankind reveres efficiency. Look back at the people who had to give up handcraft work to work in the factories that replaced them during the Industrial Revolution, and then read about what life was like for them. Terrible. Or mills and other production facilities closed in one part of the country to move to where they could pay people even less, treat them even worse.<\/p>\n

There weren\u2019t other jobs available and with AI and robotics, there will be even fewer because that is the point. Not to create the same number of jobs for people, though more skilled and at better pay. The object for companies is to reduce the total number of employees and pocket the extra.<\/p>\n

How many AI programmers will the country really<\/em> need? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics\u2019 occupational handbook for software developers, quality assurance analysts, and testers, the number of jobs in 2021 was 1,622,200 with 25% growth through 2031. Add in computer and research scientists and there are an additional 33,500 jobs with 21% growth.<\/p>\n

How many food and beverage service jobs? More than 4.1 million. And another 817,400 in food preparation. When industry begins to cut heavily into jobs through automation, where do all those<\/em> people go?<\/p>\n

So many people accept the myths and gloss over the impact for a few reasons. We all want to cut out expenses for what we want, usually because what we make doesn\u2019t really keep pace with the full costs of living. As economists at the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute have shown, starting in 1979, the gap between productivity and nonsupervisory workers has increased dramatically.<\/p>\n

Some reasons, according to EPI: toleration for excess unemployment to check inflation, smaller and rarer increases in federal minimum wage, cuts in tax rates on the wealthiest, and deregulation of industries. \u201cIn essence, policy choices made to suppress wage growth prevented\u202fpotential\u202fpay growth fueled by rising productivity from translating into\u202factual<\/em>\u202fpay growth for most workers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bulk of the country lives under an ongoing fear of precarity, of always being at the edge. A low-grade permanent fight-or-flight response with no final resolution.<\/p>\n

And then there is the titillating thrill of high-tech toys, the latest and greatest that you, too, can use for free. Except, as the now old saying notes, \u201cIf you\u2019re not paying for the product, you\u2019re<\/em> the product.\u201d The genesis of that goes back to at least 1973 and television, according to the site QuoteInvestigator.com.<\/p>\n

We get consumed and happily. Something to distract from the grim realities, using offerings designed to capture our attention and create a dependence on dopamine hits, as former insiders at some of the biggest companies in the world have admitted. But we\u2019re walking with a blindfold on a path that could truly destroy the economic fabric of tens if not hundreds of millions of lives in the U.S. alone.<\/p>\n

It’s good to remember that we don\u2019t have to, no matter how many with personal benefits to gain insist on inevitability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
