Some questions for people on this sub (not meant to be confrontational)

I recently opened this sub because I didn't want to tell my wife to filter out the anti-AI posts on the main sub. I genuinely believe that AI can bring about some great changes to this world, but I also think that this sub has a lot of flawed thinking going on.<br><br>1. I saw a few people in the chat bragging that they are working with AI companies that are stealing people's voices for their voice synthesis feature. They are bragging about their roles in kicking people out of their jobs. If this is the real goal of people in this sub, then I am the enemy of this sub. <br><br>2. I saw a few posts about how great it is that AI is killing certain jobs, and how it is nothing to be sad about. For example, a post about how AI is killing the job of remote transcriptionists. Why should I be happy that some people are losing their jobs? I think people in this sub have a very narrow perspective on employment. Some people are happy enough in their jobs doing the same repetitive task. Some people don't have any family or friends to talk to and their job is their only social interaction. Plenty of people are self-employed or running their own business and doing exactly what they love. Many of them will lose their primary source of income if they lose their job. It is a very privileged view to think that people can always easily find a new job that pays as much or better than their last job. Yes, I think that this sub is made of privileged people who think that they can always be successful at whatever they want to do without much difficulty.<br><br>3. Plenty of people in this sub say that they want to use AI to kill jobs that are high-paid and hard to automate (like doctors). Do you know that the hardest part of training a doctor is training them to interact with people? Do you know that the largest part of training a doctor is teaching them how to interact with people? A large part of being a good doctor is to create trust with your patients. That requires thousands of hours of interacting with people and understanding what makes them tick. It would be very strange (and probably very offensive) for a doctor to say "I'm going to heal you." like a robot. Creating that kind of social interaction is much harder than creating code. <br><br>4. Many people in this sub think that they can always get what they want if they just use AI correctly. A lot of what people want in life is to be part of a social group or community. I have thousands of friends on Facebook, but I don't have any friends that I can hang out with IRL. I think that it's very easy to mistake superficial social interaction on social media like Facebook for real social relationships. This sub is a very good example of this. There are thousands of people in the chat, but I doubt that any of them could name their best friend. I certainly can't (and I don't have one either). <br><br>5. In the end, what do you guys really want? Are you just trying to prove a point that AI can replace human interaction? What do you want ? What is your goal that you are trying to achieve? I think that if you are like me and you want to have more friends and social interaction in your life, I think that AI is like shooting yourself in the foot. If you want to live in a world where you can just plug in a computer and get the same level of social interaction as a real human, I don't want that. If you want to live in a world where you can just plug in a computer and get the same level of social interaction as a real human, I don't want that.
