This at Central Florida’s College of Arts and Humanities graduation ceremony. What jobs will there be for people when AI does everything?
FC/OT: Commencement speaker booed after praising AI as the next Industrial Revolution…

AI is just a fad. In a couple of years, you’ll never hear about it.
The grads are already doomed. They majored in Arts and Humanities.
AI is here to stay and will alter the world. Too much money invested and to be made. What will be good jobs? Electricians, plumbers, technicians, carpenters, basement waterproofers, etc. Look for traditional colleges to play a diminished role going forward.
We heard the same story when personal computers were the thing, then automation. In the end, unemployment rates are about the same. Jobs just adapted, work got safer, etc.
Who remembers when health care was going to replace manufacturing, then nursing, then technology? Never happened.
What new jobs is AI creating? The personal computer still needed an operator, programmer, code writer, software, hardware, etc. AI doesn't need that and gets rid of half of it.
I think you're wildly underestimating the negative effect AI will have on virtually everything.
But will colleges still crank out football players and coaches?
I think AI will be the path to universal basic income for most of the country (sadly).
Yeah, but what "new" jobs will be needed as AI makes its way into every industry? All of those AI models still require human intelligence to initiate, coordinate, audit, validate and implement.
You tell me. The whole point of it is to eliminate jobs.
By far the biggest employer in northern Ohio is the Clevleland Clinic.
I disagree. The result of relentless and extensive integration of AI into our siciety will almost certainly result in a calamitous elimination of jobs but that wasn’t the aim of those who created AI. Ai was there to be invented and implemented. Nothing ever retards scientific progress and nowadays anything can be monetized. Maybe there were a number of researchers who refused to work on AI because they feared its negative influence on society but the horse is out of the barn regardless.
Which has been around forever. The place is in decline.60% of the population has left. Jobs can't be filled because the talent can't be found. No one wants to move to Cleveland.
Every other episode of 48 hours is about the murders there
The Clinic is huge and still growing. Manufacturing is what has declined. I have lived in the area for 70 years. It is fine except for a few places, like any other city.
I loved visiting Cleveland. A mini-Broadway, a great science center, a world-class zoo.
"Greater Cleveland is a healthcare powerhouse and a top draw for healthcare professionals. There is every reason to believe it will continue, with Cleveland Clinic in the midst of a massive capital construction campaign. Its new Neurological Institute alone is a 1-million-square-foot, $1.1 billion facility rising on Carnegie Avenue at East 89th Street."
Brother in law moved there a decade ago from Houston and loves it. My visits tell me it's a good place to live.
Indeed - but question still stands; what will people do for work? Eventually everything can be done by AI - music, art, marketing plans, movies, math, coding, driving vehicles, medical surgery, etc. I guess everyone will be a laborer if and until AI builds robots to do it (and they will). The good news is no science fiction writers have ever warned against this….we’re gonna wish for Idiocracy at this rate.
Someone mentioned the possibility of a universal yearly basic income.
That's for college football players.
Why even bother? Money would be pointless. Yes, I’m a hard neg on AI.
Which makes me sick. They’re building a damn data center a couple miles from me in Carlisle. We’re doing all we can to get some regulations. Everything we’ve tried to stop it has been shut down by the local government.
Doctors are leaving Cleveland Clinic for many reasons. Heavy workloads, burnout, administrative medicine, under appreciation, feeling useless, quotas and more.
Google it.
Google it.
I see after a brief and enjoyable absence, Chief Azziehola, the emoji clown has returned.
Although I would say that part of the point is to reduce work (not necessarily eliminate jobs) I largely agree that the bigger goal is to improve the world. Accelerate technology, help to diagnose and cure disease, climate modeling, improving traffic, solve complex problems, research,etc.
Unfortunately there will be some bad side effects. Like people making music with AI. I HATE that ****.
