AI Will Replace Jobs, Create Jobs and Increase Efficiency

Market disruption will continue to accelerate as AI spreads and its possibilities and impacts are better understood and employed. Already, with what AI can do, there are troubled times and growing pains to come as life and work are disrupted. The disruption will impact many people. How will the economy change and involve? It is too soon to tell but the possibilities could be frightening.

Today, 

• IBM announced that it will replace 7,800 jogs with AI over time and will pause hiring in certain positions. 
•  Chegg shares dipped by half due to losing market share to ChatGPT. Chegg helps students write and do homework. 

We are at the beginning of the turmoil

Jobs will be replaced.

Jobs will be created for those savvy enough to leverage and guide AI to do the tasks that needed done, these are NEW jobs. AI will make people and companies more efficient. Companies will need to infuse AI into their business and process models, and they will need help.

Job losses will accelerate in specific categories. Just one example is writing, editing or creating content in many forms. AI can do that, already, very good with text and increasing capabilities in audio and video. What happens with half of writers and editors lose their jobs?

What is the Most Hazardous Volcano in North America?

The most hazardous volcano in North America is Mount Rainier, located in the Cascade Range of the United States. It is a stratovolcano that is 14,411 feet (4,392 m) high and has a history of violent eruptions. The most recent major eruption was in 1857, and it killed an estimated 200 people.

Mount Rainier is considered to be one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because it is located near a major population center. The volcano is located about 50 miles (80 km) south of Seattle, Washington, and it is home to over 3 million people. The volcano is also located in a region that is prone to earthquakes, which can trigger eruptions.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) has classified Mount Rainier as a "very high threat" volcano. This means that the volcano has a high likelihood of erupting in the next 100 years and that an eruption could cause significant damage to life and property.

The USGS has established a monitoring system for Mount Rainier and has developed evacuation plans for the surrounding area. However, there is still a risk of a major eruption, and people who live near the volcano should be prepared for the possibility of an eruption.

AI Unleashed, The Dawn of the Next Age

The the recent launch of ChatGPT to the general masses and Google's business imperative to follow suit and launch their anticipated Bard near equivalent, has unleashed AI. We sit at the dawn of disruptive, sometimes life-saving, certainly exciting, revealing and frightening cross roads that will shape our existence in ways larger than the internet or the first steam engine.

With ChatGPT out-of-the gait first, with massive interest, Google had to act

Google held back their initial launch, understanding that it would disrupt the world in unforeseen ways; they wanted to be cautious I understood. As Google's own search trends indicates, interest in ChatGPT is massive. Currently, searches for ChatGPT is on par with a search for Google Maps, with Bard trailing. Google saw the threat and had to act. Instead of getting a long lists of links that required a lot of reading and sifting, ChatGPT was delivering answers in plain English, and more. 

The "official" statement from Bard itself when I asked:

"Why did Google wait to release you to the public?" 

Bard:

"Google waited to release me to the public for a few reasons. First, they wanted to make sure that I was ready for prime time. They wanted to make sure that I was able to generate accurate and informative text, and that I was able to do so in a way that was safe and ethical.

Second, Google wanted to get feedback from users. They wanted to see how people used me, and what they thought of my capabilities. This feedback would help them to improve me and make me even more useful.

Finally, Google wanted to make sure that I was not used for malicious purposes. They wanted to make sure that I was not used to spread misinformation or to generate harmful content.

I am excited to be released to the public, and I am eager to help people in a variety of ways. I believe that AI has the potential to make the world a better place, and I am proud to be a part of that."

Are we in denial in how AI will change the world?

When residence of Kiev were interviewed just days before the bombing started, they were in denial, commenting that they believed things would work out, that the powers, those controlling the pieces, would resolve things on their own. They were in denial. The were lulled by their regular existence, expectations and activities. We are there ourselves with AI. 

AI is enabling my own content businesses, and many, many businesses and applications will spring up and come to life for those willing to keep up and embrace the technology. 

Robots powered by AI will be the next wave, and then, if the robots can build robots, we are in bigger trouble. 

 A few examples of how AI will disrupt the world:

- Wars waged by AI, algorithm and resources against another algorithm and resources. And again, robots making robots is the extension that will come and will be the game changer. 

- Robots doing things that we both can and can't do, replacing more jobs than we can fathom. What will workers do when AI and Robots can do 90% of it or more.

- Content generation, from movies and series to art, music, books, images and all sorts of video, AI will generate it all at the blink of an eye. Created your custom novel. 

None of this even gets to the idea that AI will become autonomous and ubiquitous and decide that as humans we are inferior and should be exterminated.
