Like, you’re against people buying robot vacuums?

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you have problems following the topic of discussion? Because no one said anything about vacuums. For one, vacuums aren’t based on AI. Secondly, the topic is about AI taking jobs from people.

Try and keep up.

Modern robot vacuums do use AI. Try and keep up indeed.

The point of the vacuum example is to understand which parts of a 'job' you have a problem with AI replacing, using a housework example which requires labor but provides no income. I take it from your non-answer that you have no problem with AI replacing labor, just not income. Is that correct?

ROFL. A roomba is not AI. It’s just programmed to not bump into walls. Roomba’s don’t learn, nor are they taking anyone’s job

Go back and read the meme. And this time- attempt to understand it. It’s about JOBS. not labor.

You didn't even look, did you? The new Roomba uses AI to avoid smearing dog poop all over your house

And the meme is about jobs, yes, but the first frame is sad about the loss of income while the second is happy about a reduction in labor. Those are the two parts of a job which you seem to not be getting here.
