Generative AI is expected to significantly impact the job market, leading to a drastic decline in labor demand. Experts predict that many jobs will be eliminated, similar to past trends where technology displaced human labor. Adam Dorr emphasizes the inevitability of this transformation, noting that AI's capabilities are rapidly advancing. While a handful of professions may endure, such as sports coaches and ethicists, they are insufficient to provide employment for the vast majority of the workforce, which raises concerns about widespread job loss.
"Technology has a new target in its crosshairs - and that's us. That's our labor."
"If I can get the same thing or better for the same or lower cost, switching is a no-brainer. We're the horses, we're the film cameras."
"Machines that can think are here, and their capabilities are expanding day by day with no end in sight. We don't have that long to get ready for this."
"There will remain a niche for human labor in some domains. The problem is that there are nowhere near enough of those occupations to employ four billion people."
