Is AI a net negative for children’s future?

I do not believe a human brain can be smarter than AI.
I also believe most college majors today will be irrelevant very soon to AI.
Last thing is I don’t think the blue collar industry can handle the saturation of employees (ex: not everyone can be a plumber because we don’t need that many)
The millennial generation may be the last self sustaining generation and the remaining may need parental support.

Kids have been using AI for a long time.
A search engine is AI. Autocorrect is AI.
One argument would be it is making people stupid. But another could be you have access to a wealth of information with a touch of a finger.

Yes, but it’s because AI is going to use their bodies for electricity.

Gen AI will become an extension of everyone's brain. Which is kind of sad. People will lose the ability to think because they never will use that muscle.
So yeah, it's probably a net negative for kids.

There’s an enormous need for blue collar workers or contractors who know how to actually finish a job.

There was a segment on 60 minutes last night on AI. One of the topics was where there was a situation in which AI wanted to blackmail the other person in the situation. So, the lack of emotion and empathy is a major cause for concern. However, on the other hand, blackmail and lack of empathy is also a reality in today's work.
I really don't know how to answer your question, but I hope not. There is a lot of good that can come out of it, but we all know that in the wrong people's hands, it can be very bad.

Definitely a net negative.

Eh I think you’re the person in wrong here.
Technically AI foundation is statistical modeling and rank choice which is foundation for search engines and auto correct as well. Different form of same foundation

AI is a net negative period.

Many folks leading the way in AI research , including Sam Altman and Elon Musk are pretty certain that some form of universal basic income is on the horizon and that funds from AI profits will support it. It could be a new economic paradigm shift similar to the ag or industrial revolution.

Parents throwing iPads at kids when they're old enough to hold them are far, far, worse.
Most college majors are already irrelevant.

a.) This was experimented with during COVID shutdowns and was a miserable failure on multiple levels. We are not meant to sit at home idle.
b.) If you think the tech firms and our government are going to put forth any substantive money to live off you are very naive.

Im not supporting or poo pooing the idea. Just stating this is where many in the AI sector see things going eventually . What will many humans do all day while the robots work is the question many are that trying to figure out. It doesn have to mean we will sit home idle though.

Not my idea..this comes direct from Sam Altman's, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and many other in the field's mouths. Could be naive ..yea. Now where I dont think its totally naive is that if AI disrupts the economy enough to cause mass unemployment during the shift, without some sort of UBI funded in part from AI profits/government there will be a a different sort of revolution directed at those companies. And it wont be pretty.

A calculator is AI. A digital camera processes data with AI.

I do not believe calc is ai.

It’s so silly (yet predictable) how, in every thread about AI, people feel the need to downplay everything as if we’ve had LLM’s and transformers for 50 years.
Next will be “it’s just another search engine” from somebody who has no idea what LLM stands for without googling it.
