AI doesn’t need to “work” in the sense that it does people’s jobs well. It just needs to work as an excuse to fire people and work as competition in the labour market. That way even if they can’t completely replace their workforce, they can at least pay them far less bc instead of paying an expert, they’re paying someone (with expert qualifications) minimum wage to be an “ai overseer.” Unless we elect leftist politicians that will actually pass worker protection laws then this will continue to happen and get worse and worse
