Yes the internal combustion engine (ICE) did take over the work that horses had done for centuries. But then the ICE enabled humans to do what horse power alone could never have done. AI will be similar. Humans will move from “production” jobs to jobs that require real human connection, like social and spiritual leadership and development. 🙏
What would happen if humans passed legislation requiring a “payroll tax” equivalent on robot labor? That tax could fund national Medicare and Social Security programs. And provide a “basic minimum income” for the unemployed?
One thing that I think that it's worth considering here is that I think there's a limitation as to what kind of jobs AI can take. The discovery of new pharmaceuticals was mentioned, but that process isn't exactly the same kind of product development as developing a new car to sell. Code based solutions can only effectively optimize solutions where there is a single correct answer (or finite set of correct answers) to be solved for. Discovering a new pharmaceutical is a matter of either smashing enough components together until you figure out which combination produces the desired outcome. In theory, a sufficiently informed person with an extremely well prepared set of data points could calculate the exact combinations that would work, but it's likely more resource efficient for humans to just start smashing reagents together. A computer, however, could be given all the information and form the calculations needed to determine the set of correct answers. I'll admit my technical understanding of the deep workings of AI models is limited, but what I've grasped is that it's essentially an extension of machine learning principles that allow a computer to reverse the process of pattern recognition to generate content rather than just "understand" it, we didn't teach a computer to think, we taught them how to turn more things into computable data points. I do think AI can cause a lot of disruption across various axes of human experience,(even as I'm thinking of various problems with no "one true answer" I'm immediately able to reframe a lot of them into solvable problems) but I think that there are ways to keep from letting AI make us redundant and minimizing those disruptions. I apologize if this comment comes off as a loosely hopeful "the floor here is made of floor" but a few things in this post short-circuited some neurons in my brain briefly linking a few stray theses that I felt relevant to share. I think a good parallel to my thoughts on this is the automobile. The mass adoption of cars completely shifted the way we look at transportation to the point where we didn't incorporate it into our transportation options, we started redesigning our societal structures around having a car. However, there is active work being done to counteract that as we recognize how much of a problem it is that we've done this, however car centric city planning is not an easy thing to fix. I think if we take experiences like that into consideration while figuring out what we do with this new paradigm-shifting tool we'll be... okay at least.
The choice isn’t between AI and collapse. It’s between clinging to wage-bound capitalism, or building a participatory resourceist democracy that makes technology the servant of humanity.
Elon Musk: Artificial Intelligence is our biggest existential threat. ... AI is summoning the demon. Holy water will not save you.
DWave Founder Gordie Rose (A Tip of the AI Spear): When you do this, beware. Because you think - just like the guys in the stories - that when you do this: you're going to put that little guy in a pentagram and you're going to wave your holy water at it, and by God it's going to do everything you say and not one thing more. But it never works out that way. ... The word demon doesn't capture the essence of what is happening here: ... Through AI, Lovecraftian Old Ones are being summoned in the background and no one is paying attention and if we’re not careful it’s going to wipe us all out.

They already do it with music. AI will be exponentially worse.
David Crosby: we conjure demons into the masters of music records so we can cast spells on people through music.

This is really possible in the future, but for now, knowing how to integrate AI to our jobs would actually give us an advantage. At least, for now, AI can’t replace human touch.
It is difficult/near impossible to prevent it from being developed everywhere in the world now that the bottle's been opened, and the benefits of the technology have been discovered.
That being said, the future looks rather unfriendly toward humans as the dangers of AI are real and plentiful.
Agree with Larry, but this all assumes AI won’t wipe us out first. You may scoff—but if so, I’d suggest hearing from Geoffrey Hinton, Nobel Prize–winning scientist and widely known as the “Godfather of AI.”
For a quick overview, this short interview is very digestible:

What? 🤯

AI is an inevitable future for us.
It is difficult/near impossible to prevent it from being developed everywhere in the world now that the bottle's been opened, and the benefits of the technology have been discovered.
That being said, the future looks rather unfriendly toward humans as the dangers of AI are real and plentiful.
