Will AI take our jobs?

Will AI take our jobs?

I've really heavily started to adopt AI on my website, I use the Azure AI studio and luckily because I'm not very popular I sit in the free tier of their service. 

In terms of AI it summarises some of my news feed content, adds tags and descriptions to my pictures, and helps me automate my gallery. I also use the Google maps service to show my picture locations. 

In terms of blog content, it's all my own, my words are my brain. 

Automation and corporate profits are heavily linked, if a global corporate can save costs and build profits for their shareholders, they'll  do it, and this poses a risk, it always has done, always will. 

Chat agents trained in serious model data can be a great conversation starter, no different to the sat nav suggesting a route that you wasn't aware of, the sat nav can of course get confused with new roads, and fail drastically when we all follow the same route.

AI is no different, if we all use it for answering our homework, suddenly our homework becomes a copy pasta.

I'm a software developer, I embrace AI for creating images for example, it's a great ideas generator, bit it's never responsible for the end solution, people are, and my creativity is.

AI is great for summarising a document for example, but it lacks finesse, it lacks that emotive feel. 

AI is like Mr Muscle, it does the jobs we all hate, it's the conversation starter, a catalyst, the spark of innovation we all need, however it can't serve pints, or chat emotively about the new tie or haircut.

AI can't sell sand to an Eskimo, it won't cook your dinner, and it most definitely won't be a compassionate friend. 

AI will never be able to support football, cheer at a recital or fully understand drama and dance. AI has no idea about the difference between supporting Leeds and MUFC for example, it lacks that emotional context.  

Automation is interesting, Amazon adopt it for the speedy packaging of parcels, it's solely responsibly for the next day delivery  and solely responsible for the dirt cheap delivery costs. 

In summary, AI can bring the cost to consumer down massively in most areas, and leave other areas open and free to be more creative, and support AI in creating more efficient services and support. However executed with a lack of Morales, it can quickly pose problems in large organisations.

AI won't replace humans, it will just help us to get better. 

People seem scared about the AI hype, should we be scared of our jobs?
