II be thinkin AI poses a real threat ta skilled workers yo. Historically, nuff thangs done been replaced by machines. This displaces workers fo' like some time tho typically they can adjust. But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat as we close tha gap mo' n' mo' over time, I fear dat adjustment may be mo' hard as fuck up in tha future.

I think it’s possible but I don’t think that will genuinely happen. Maybe for a few years (when AI is still new and people are starting to see the effects it has on society), but I believe that eventually there’ll be laws passed where it’ll make AI unable to take up every available job (I have a lot more stronger opinions on AI taking over creative jobs like art; I genuinely don’t believe that’ll ever happen but hey maybe I’m jinxing it). Will it take up some jobs? I think so, since there’s promising tests already being done that show that robotic equipment (...is that AI?) can perform very precisely, making it very useful in surgery and other similar tasks. It’s not like I think all AI is evil so I don’t think it would be bad for it to “take up” (or, help out in) jobs like surgery! Heck, in a perfect world, I’d be fine with it taking up sweatshop factories as well so illegal workers wouldn’t have to be abused in poor working conditions but obviously a company would prefer paying 10 cents an hour to a working child than paying thousands of dollars for robots
AI is still obviously new right now so anyone’s prediction of it is pretty shaky since no one really knows the limits of a still-improving subject. However, I kinda see parallels between our predicament and people’s reactions to when the Industrial Revolution was happening (and to be fair...machines kinda did steal some jobs lmao) and if we can get through industrial Era, I’m sure society can handle incorporating AI within itself

Yes, and we're already there. Jobs for bloggers, writers, editors and proofreaders are beginning to become increasingly scarce as companies turn to AI for their content needs.

It quite literally already is. Many media and creative career markets are shrinking by the day because of AI taking over. One example? Those virtual assistants and phone operators. Those were once jobs for human beings and have since been taken over by AI and computer generated scripts.
AI is not a new technology. It's just evolving at a scarily fast rate.
