Raw LLM Responses

This is a stark reminder that AI is not the problem. It is a fact. And depending on where you work it will be a fact at some point in time that it will replace your job. The "when" will differ for each of us. But from the perspective of society we are not yet willing to accept that there will be more and more of us over time who will not be able to compete with machines. And who also cannot switch to new jobs that machine cannot do yet. UBI *will* be the only solution if we don't want people to just die in this case. The second part is the emotional aspect that you talk about. For those of us who were lucky enough to be able to do a job that we really feel for and not just one that pays the bills it will be incredibly devastating to no longer be able to do that. Or at least not in a professional capacity. It's easy to say "you are more than your job", but you can find examples for every one of us. Some may hope that they can change into some artisan variant of their job ("oh yes, it took far longer and it is far less perfect, but it is made by a *human*"), but that will not be able for even a fraction of the people who did the same jobs before. I really hope we find a way to help everyone in this transition, but currently it's as you write. Most people are more in the "okay, but now I can do something I could never do before and why should I care that others suffer?!"-phase of selfishness. It's disheartening. edit: To not change the original text I write this here - you can replace AI with "technological progress" above, if you think AI won't come for your job. Maybe it won't be AI. Or not AI alone. Probably, it will be a mix of things. But the signs point into a very clear direction. And that direction is rather bad for a society where you count as useless without a job.
