Raw LLM Responses

We've had technology taking over jobs since the day humans broke off a branch and sharpened it into a spear. What is clearly true, even though it's not apparent to people, is that technology creates FAR more jobs than the jobs it eliminates. By using a spear, the human hunter is more successful than chasing after a prey and manually killing it. (Indeed, humans never had that capability without some tool: humans for the longest time were scavengers, eating off the remains that real predators like lions took down.) When a spear becomes a successful tool to kill prey, what happens? We move from individuals scavenging for bone marrow and uneaten gristle to teams who go out to hunt prey. Then, we get people specializing in making spears, finding the best wood, straightening them, putting a sharp point at the end... then, we have people specializing in cutting up the meat because humans became successful in killing more than one beast per day, so they have ample supply to feed others. What do those others do? They figure out how to preserve the meat (drying them to make them turn into jerky), how to cook them, and other jobs. None of those jobs: spearmaker, meat dryer, meat cutter, cook, etc., existed before. But, by introducing technology, you get a whole bunch of new jobs. That's the same thing that happened when the locomotive replaced horse-drawn carriages for long distance travel. Trains killed off long-distance horse travel and the attendant jobs associated with that technology. But it introduced thousands or more jobs, from rail-layers to steelworkers making the rails and the nails and the hammers. The tie manufacturers became a new job. Porters at train stations, ticket offices and ticket collectors, and chefs working on the train and people working on arrival and departure time logistics and so on. Train stations in major cities got a boost as people from faraway places would take a train into Chicago or NYC or Philadelphia. The areas near the station would have more restaurants, shows and other entertainment, bars, fancy department stores. Cab drivers came into being to take passengers off the trains and over to a hotel or a department store. More secondary jobs of the regular type are found. That is, not new job categories created from the new technology, but more job demands in existing job categories due to increased economic well being demanding more and better services. These jobs are waitering, cab drivers, actors and musicians, housekeepers, etc. And when new technology came into being in THOSE fields: cars replacing carriages for city transport, electrical lighting and sound amplification in live theaters, washing machines and industrial-sized dryers in hotels, you again got MORE jobs. The bottom line is that as new technologies come into existence, more jobs are created to deal with the ramifications of that technology. Automation (robotics, AI, machine learning, etc.) are just technologies. They're just tools. If they gain any sort of traction, there will be millions of new jobs and in thousands of new job categories. So the goal isn't to UBI things as a transition. The goal is to encourage more technological adoption, and to train people to hop from one technology to the next.
