re: Are you kids going to be able to get jobs when you graduate?

What’s ironic about this is most of these boomers saying the people that get laid off can just find a new job already have fake jobs like lawyer and insurance salesman that shouldn’t exist anyway and are make work jobs created out of thin air by the government through regulation

If they don’t believe this will happen they should look at what the tractor did to American society

What is going to get worse and what horrendous outcomes do you see?

Do you not think it’s the younger generations that are pushing AI? They all use it and it’s a huge problem in academia. Is this not a self inflicted problem? AI doesn’t simply replace humans over night. Older generations have always tried to save a buck to maximize profits. Markets have shifted and adapted. Do you think we are headed towards UBI due to AI? I think you are just making a bunch of irrational generalizations based off of limited information.

It is the usage by businesses that is the issue, at least in regards to jobs.

We do not have the capital for it and the concept makes zero fiscal sense. This isn’t Star Trek where resources were infinite.
And this isn’t generalizations based off of limited information.
The unemployment of younger generations is becoming a concern. College graduates are running at about the same level as non-college graduates already. That is a relatively new phenomenon.
You then include the idea of AI replacement of jobs, primarily white collar, and you are looking at a disaster scenario.
Like I said before, AI replacement isn’t the same as tech shifts in the past.
The horse and buggy transitioning to the automobile was a situation of the tech replacing old tech, therefore new jobs for workers would exist.
AI is replacing the workers themselves. This isn’t a situation of new jobs arising to replace old ones.
The workers themselves are replaced. The jobs didn’t change.
It isn’t a good scenario for future workers.

No worries, AI can't run Somali daycares

It took my son a minute. He worked for a cabinet company for a little over a year, but now he’s actually using his architecture degree in Bossier City.

I don't know if anyone remembers when the internet became mainstream in the mid 90s. People were talking about how it would eliminate jobs. It made communication easier, etc and it did to some degree. And Microsoft Office made things a lot easier.. accountants, etc.
AI isn't the monster most people think it is. It has also become the new buzz word. You see products like cameras, recorders, etc that claim to AI sound enhancements. People have watched iRobot too many times.

That’s because the college degree isn’t what it use to be and when you get a useless degree on top of that it can be hard to find employment. The area I’m in has plenty of jobs available. Now it might not be the job you want but there is work.

I think you are proving my point here. AI isn’t self sustaining. You don’t just push a button and now AI does it all. It has to be maintained and have maintenance performed. This just sounds like chicken little syndrome. With any new tech, jobs are lost but new have always been created. Just as with the analogies you have used. For example, are lawyers still going to litigate before a judge and jury or is AI going to do that? Will AI replace some clerks, or will AI assist clerks and lawyers and make their job easier? I guess we will find out before long.
There is still a lot to be figured out with AI. At this point it is nothing more than a circular investment between a few companies generating hype to drive up the value of their investment. I just don’t think it’s the nightmare scenario you are predicting.
