Without proper wisdom, it is complaint upon complaints, criticism upon criticism. If I am to be smart to join the labor force then let AI continue its disruptions; I AM NOT A SLAVE or perhaps not that kind of slave. Many are still debating that they will lose jobs and become irrelevant. If your relevance on Earth is tied to the workforce then you are already irrelevant. I don't know for you but personally, I hate to work. Maybe AI was built to suit my class and yes, I showed up in this, you can see too from here.
You may think I am lazy, I am at least a co-owner of a brand we are growing. In short, I am privileged to be a young Co- CEO and manager at once. So when I say ‘I hate jobs/working’ it is not from a non ambitious point, NO. Rather I am talking of how occupied we can become as humans that we fail in our most relevant purposes.
Are you not tired of 6:AM to 6:PM? How many years are you going to spend in the labor market and how many will be left for you to live a life?. Such first early moves to breach this gap were introduced by the Internet, when global investment opened up. At least one could make money without working; money doing the needed work.
In short, this has always been the vision of big entrepreneurs, to set up a brand that pays them and retire early. How about I tell you the good news that retiring even much earlier is at our door step. Maybe I should tell you that you can live your everyday life retired. Do you know what it means to pursue a career? Maybe you don't care to know it is a chunk of ‘enslavement’ if I am not sounding too harsh.

So here is AI and the big complaint is that humans will become very lazy. Laziness is a choice, even before AI, those who approve to be remain lazy and such sets will still continue. In short, let me add, what is laziness? As my first paragraph captured, not meeting up with the world's standard workforce.
We have to erase this mentality as early as possible. How can you be lazy when you have a technology that can teach and keep you informed 24/7. Maybe you’ve never thought of this but just like putting a single song on repetition helps to flow in lyrics, the same can happen with AI.
Did the calculator make us lazy or dumb? Did Microsoft spreadsheet do the same too? No, on the reverse, we saw a revolution in the workforce industry against time. Why spend minutes trying to manually divide, add and subtract.
How many of such hours do you have in a day? Of course this shows siloedness and both the introduction of a calculator and application like MS spreadsheet came in to resolve delayed accounting.
Another phase of computing is here and this time around it is beyond additions and subtraction. We are talking of a much broader technology. So what's the key usefulness of artificial intelligence; ‘assistance’.
We have to get this straight, we need time and if a technology that can salvage a lot of it is here, explore it, this to me is not laziness unless ALL you care about is work.

How deterred are many families as we speak, the husband wakes up early to work and so is the wife. In the end, both come back late because they will manually have to fit in their roles in the office. Hours get burnt down in the process because you prioritize personal brainwork. Adding to that, we have to admit that transmission is dull in the process. Yes, no matter how a math guru you are, anyone with a calculator will produce results way faster.
Such hours of stress could have been resolved by having an assistant. How many of us can pay a personal human assistant?; it will be more like another work shift to another limited production system. First, you can talk of price, secondly, you can explore efficiency.
This is where AI steps in, this is not laziness, it is a way to move an economy and better adding, trace humanity back to an ‘erased hours burning mentality’ in the name of job. You may think if you lose your job you don't get paid, why are you in such a revolutionized era and are still dependent on being paid; pay yourself.
I have covered such articles many times and maybe I will have to cover another in some days to come. We are in the era of ‘pay yourself’. This is where investments, stakes and shares will play a huge part.
To conclude, let me add, one can say that AI has its side effects. Get this straight, AI has no side effects, if this technology goes bad blame humans. As a friend just told me, humans love exploiting the bad side of everything because it seems that is where the most money is found.
I am not happy to add, but many have even used the Holy bible to exploit others. It is a matter of where humans choose to place their hearts and wield this technology.
