Like for example it was being said that AI will be used by software companies and will reduce their expense on workforce. But I see that news of AI like anthropic has destroyer the share value of all leading software companies. So overall there is no benefit at all. Now, with people loosing jobs the overall spending power will reduce which will push economy more down. So overall effect is negative. Other than owners of these AI companies, no one is benefitting. Even they will come to zero net worth when people realize that AI does not solve any really problem.

Do you agree to this?

AI is an efficiency tool, not a human replacement. It speeds up work and cuts costs for companies, but it's currently in a market bubble. It solves productivity gaps, but entry-level jobs are definitely at risk.
 
I don't think it is as simple as that. Especially your statement "Even they will come to zero net worth when people realize that AI does not solve any really problem." is definitely, in my perception, incorrect. It can solve many real problems. The issue in my view is that what is propagated is that it will manage everything better, which just seems flat out wrong. At least even in the mid-term. I suspect that a decent amount of blue collar jobs are still quite safe, even though an LLM can guide you through plumbing, it will take a long time before it becomes normalized for many people to do this and you still need expertise for a lot of aspects.

For other jobs like HR, Customer Support, Accounting etc. I think that companies are more than happy to save on spending, even if it means they don't replace all of their positions it will definitely cut down a reasonable percentage of people required. The real issue I think a lot of this brings is that less lower tier jobs like juniors are going to get accepted, and with that, less people are naturally going to become seniors/capable which brings this whole future to a curious situation in terms of the job market.

How much time it will take to show full effect?
 
But if AI causes any harm, it is not AI itself that is to blame, but the people who use it incorrectly. AI is as useful as it is harmful to society. Personally, I believe that AI is extremely useful, but again, it depends on how it is used.

No
There is a way humans find new opportunities with things like this
The Industrial age was believe to have come to kill agric jobs ,but it didn't
Instead it brought in new opportunities in those same sectors
I believe ai will likely bring in same thing
 
The point about blue collar jobs being safe is valid, as I've seen this play out in my own experiments with automating tasks in the construction industry. However, for knowledge-based jobs like HR and Customer Support, AI-driven chatbots have already started to make a significant dent, with one of my clients reducing support staff by 32% after implementing an LLM-powered chatbot that handled 75% of tier-1 queries. The real challenge now is to identify which skills will be augmented by AI and which will become obsolete, as this will determine the future job market and areas where people can still add value. For instance, skills like critical thinking, creativity, and complex problem-solving will likely remain in high demand, while routine and repetitive tasks will continue to be automated.

AI just showed me how to configure a complex plugin for my website. I couldn't figure it out, but the AI explained everything to me in just a couple of minutes. Did it solve my problem?

You are right. There is basic problem with human beings in general. For their benefit, they exploit everything.
 
ai helps in some tasks like data or content stuff fast but it don't fix bigger problems or economy stuff

it's mostly a tool not a magic fix
 
You can use a hammer to hit someone and hurt them, or you can use it to hammer in a nail and do something useful. It's the same with AI—it all depends on how you use it. This technology can work both ways. For me, AI is extremely useful, but for some people, it has ruined their whole lives.

I completely agree with this. Although there are some experimental AIs for developing new content, they are far behind in this context.

AI dont solve any problems, it suggest solution to problems, So there will be always a human need to confirm the suggestion and choose the right one. if you are blindly include all the works on AI without any supervision, then errors may occur for sure. We have to use it in a smart way to get benefits from AI and overcome the negative effects you mentioned above.
 
I don't know, AI makes me money, so from my point of view it definitely solves a problem. If a tool helps you save time, reduce costs, learn faster, or earn more, then that is problem solving.

People talk about AI like it has to fix the entire economy to be useful, but that’s not really the standard. A hammer doesn’t solve every problem either, but it still solves the one it was made for.

For me, AI helps with work, ideas, content, automation, research, and speed. That already has real value. So no, I don’t agree that AI solves nothing. Maybe it doesn’t solve every problem, but it absolutely solves some.

AI can be used for good and bad as well. It's only a tool. It depends on its usage by us (humans) which determines its value. For example it cannot do the work of a psychologist, doctor and lawyer as these are too specialized. Also AI can halucinate a lot. Therefore I believe some jobs will either adapt or die. So I partially agree with you; if some professions don't evolve along with it the people may become unemployed soon.
 
I used to google a lot but now with ai I can get the answer way quicker and in more specific form which has helped me in all kinds of ways. Doesn’t matter if I need to know something or need to do something it’s way quicker this way. I even want to implant it into my brain

I think with every revolution the jobs are replaced .
Most entry-level jobs are and will be replaced by AI soon .
I am the website developer and even i think that in the next 5 - 10 years entry-level developer will not be needed .

I think it all depends on perspective. but if we take a closer look, AI is really solving problems by helping people work faster, and automate repetitive tasks. Fear is normal, but looking at the ultimate goal, AI is really an improvement. We only need to stop seeing it as challenges, and start learning on how to adapt and optimise its use
 
I think AI does solve some real problems, just not in the dramatic way people hype it. it's mostly a productivity tool, it helps people work faster, but it's not replacing entire industries the way headlines make it sound, sure it resulted in massive lay-offs but only those redundant fields
 
When tech fulfills a need, 100 other needs arise. What we are seeing is just a leap into the future. Just like how computers brought a tech revolution. AI speeds up things like research and analysis, so the demand for things like data collection will increase.
