Maybe there is something to the hype around AI these days.  Brings a question to mind...   Is AI something to be concerned about? 

 
No - Yes. Maybe?  

 I compare it to back at the early 1900's when textile weaving machines were brought into play.  All the cloth was made by hand before then and the weavers were very scared they would lose out.  And rightfully so.  You know, you have a pretty steady job and all of a sudden a machine comes out that does it all automatically.  The end result, however, was not a loss of jobs, but a change in them.  

Yes, there are still manual weavers to this day.  Although they aren't as plentiful as the way back machine tells us.  Most textiles are indeed made automatically, by machine.  What we have to look at tho - is the increase in textile related jobs BECASUE of the development of the automatic loom.  People that knew how to weave alos knew how to build, diagnose problems and implement fixes.  Jobs building and selling the Auto Looms were created and on it goes.  

The net end result was there were MORE jobs available in the textile industry AFTER the automatic loom came into play.  

So being concerned about AI taking the job you are doing now - if you are a stock broker or Crypto trader...  Ok...  I get it.  In just a few years, there will be no need for the old school way of doing that job.  However it brings the capability down to the average Joe to be able to plug into an AI system and earn with it.  And earn well.  There is no human that can analyze or make the same number of trades as an AI Robot can.  

What this DOES do, is create openings for those that adopt an AI stance and begin programming for it.  A shift in the work that is done rather than the replacement of it.  Same goes for everything that AI would apply to.  From Trading all the way over to the trades.  Welding, Building, assembly, construction and everything in between.  Just a matter of learning a bit or applying what one already knows into a bit of a different skillset.  

It is all a matter of perspective.  AI is here to stay.  It is far from perfect yet, but because of it's learning capabilities, it will get better and better at the task it is asked to perform.  And there will always be tweaking needed by us humans that utilize and eventually depend on it.  Creating opportunities all over the place that may not be using an impact driver to put the lug nuts on a new car, but that machine has to be maintained and loaded.  

So it WILL make the workplace a bit different.  The next question is - are you going to embrace and roll with it or are you going to whine and complain that it took your job?  My guess is most will roll with it, learn some new things and end up being better off in all aspects of life than they were before AI came into being.
