Artificial Intelligence Doom

After reading "At Our Wits' End: Why We're Becoming Less Intelligent and What it Means for the Future", I cooled down my expectations for AGI this century.

On the other hand, I believe narrow forms of artificial intelligence will wipe out 90 to 99% of jobs in the next years and decades, essentially creating a highly stratified society:

>90%: a vast jobless UBI lower class at the hands of the government.
>9%: those holding remnant jobs for which human contact, or presence are necessary, such as nurses, therapists, prostitutes, etc... Also those holding jobs for which machines would be more expensive to build and maintain, despite being capable of performing the job, such as McDonalds employees.
>~1%: the technical upper class holding onto the cutting edge of innovation. Only those with IQs above 135 or so will have any chance whatsoever of landing a job in a fild not easily automatable.
><0.1%: our capitalist overlords amassing vast ammounts of wealth reminiscent of feudal lords.

The jobless UBIers will have nothing, and many might be happy, but some won't due to their social status and lack of capacity to improve. Those satisfied with toys and distractions will live in paradise. Those that care about social mobility and take pride on their own accomplisments will be miserable.

This AI called Midjourney is already single handedly wiping out 95% of 2D digital artist jobs as we speak, and many people thought that art was untouchable by AI.

    The sign is a subtle joke. The shop is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where "feed" and "seed" both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Feeduck and Seeduck".

    Its impossible to wipe out 90% of jobs and have ubi where people don't work while still giving a value to currency. You don't understand what money is.

      If the UBI caste will earn money via the government.
      The government will earn money via taxing the capitalist overlords.
      The capitalist overlords will earn money from the labor of machines producing goods and services to sell to the UBI caste.
      And so on...

        They will earn money by offering services like they always have

        Maybe that's delivering food, maybe it's teaching someone to ski

        It's no surprise that the service education economy is going to reach trillions of dollars in the coming decade

    People are moronic, modern artists especially.
    Heres the deal, Tolkien could never be replaced by AGI for instance, because his work has SOVL. But these corporate memphis graphics arts soibots? Yeah, they'll be replaced, easily.

      There are AIs that can write fiction already, sir. It is just a matter of time until it becomes indistinguishable from original content.

      In fact, there are AI lawyers too, anything involving text comprehension will get wiped out probably in the next 10 to 20 years.

    How will 90% of people be jobless CNC machines still need input you still need people to pump gas you still need people to bag grocery's and so on. The machines in movies will not exist or will be a luxury the idea that in 10 years you will have Androids walking around the streets is a dumb idea hell even normie syfy covered the dumbness of this in Detroit Become human

      >need people to pump gas bag groceries
      Not so bro.
      Here in sunny Belgium, all gas stations are pay at the pump by card. Many don't have any on site staff at all, so if you ain't got a card you can't get gas.
      The supermarkets are training the users to scan out their own stuff, again card only. Apart from having to use a card, it's maybe a better experience than piling all the stuff up on the moving thing at the checkout.

    AGI not coming any time soon, if ever.
    But things are still fricked because AI is already irreparably changing everything, and improving and developing so quickly, nobody knows what the frick is going to happen. Things are already fricked. We can't even keep up with how fricked they are.
    But the WEF shit hole psycho atheist fantasy OP suggests inevitably follow this extraordinary transformation is not inevitable.
    It's existence in our mediasphere merely reveals the plans the c**ts have got for humaninty, and how they see humanity.
    OP has had these thoughts popped into his head, inception style, by evil c**ts.

            Are you saying CERN (?) is carrying out the thought experiment?
            If you are saying this, this thought experiment would have to take place in CERN's thoughts.
            Are you implying that my experience of the universe is a thought experiment being carried out in CERN's thoughts?

              And so the AI conceived of CERN as a device within said thought experiment.

      the good ones are kept in labs or only circulated in circles of trusted researchers. this level of gatekeeping implies the creators themselves already view the technology as dangerous as weapons of mass destruction. the ai cult will hand wave, and say that it's no big deal, just some cute tricks. if that were the case anyone would be able to play with them, but it isn't. they're very cynically playing with things they know to be incredibly dangerous but useful tools. it's the comp sci equivalent of gain of function research.
