Most of you don't have a choice between AI and human workers

I don't think anyone wants to hire an AI assistant over a human one for the sheer joy of "not paying a salary to a flesh-and-blood worker" 99% of the time. This is just economics.<br><br>If you have the option of working with a capable human assistant who stays for even 3 years, even with the training time needed, you will make this person fit in a lot faster than an AI model who is not designed for a custom job for your company and it's easier to shape a human into doing a very specific job (and also you will get better and more dynamic results because of their creativity and ability to understand the nuances). <br><br>The reason why we want to hire AIs is not because they're "more efficient" in a general sense, but because we don't have enough human workers for these jobs. If you have 1000 unemployed people and even 3 people answering your job ad, it's easy enough to train them for that position and get them to work. If you have 1000 unemployed people and you need 1000 jobs for them, it's much more complicated to train them for enough various jobs to employ them all. You have a limited supply of jobs and they are not created equally in terms of complexity. What you do is employ the most complex jobs with the most competent candidates and you have a lot of unemployed people you don't have a job for even after they are fully trained. Of course you can try and create fake jobs for them to do, but that will be inefficient for you and for society as a whole because those jobs won't create any value.<br><br>I think most of you just want your job to be as secure as possible even from the perspective of future unemployed people. 99% of the time you cannot choose to hire a human assistant who can do a better job than an AI model for you. AIs allow us to hire workers for jobs that would otherwise have no human workers.
