    I genuinely thought this was satire or at the very least hyperbolic, until I saw a real antihuman advert on here.

    It’s genuinely shocking how blatant America’s corporate overlords are when they’ve paid to deregulate everything in the name of profit, whete they can tell the population ti their faces “This advert is not for you, it is for your capitalist overlords. And we are telling them you’re worth less than a predictive text machine.”

      The thing is they’re lying to themselves. If they actually thought that you could replace all humans with AI they’d have already done it, as it currently is it’s only a few companies that are transitioning a few jobs over to AI. eeery company that’s tried to replace their entire workforce has dramatically failed.

      If my bosses want to replace me with AI I will gladly take the severance, and then the job are back in 6 months with twice the salary.

        I’m holding out hope for you that this’ll be the case and they won’t just hire an intern to look over the generated results and say ‘yeah that looks alright’

    Did you know that billionaires are just computers, they’re a form of AH (artificial humans). It’s perfectly ethical to “switch them off”, and will likely save more lives than it costs.

      But how can we turn them off?
      Is it some form of guillotine, or woodchipper? Buried alive with flesh eating bugs? HOW??

        Severe vasoconstriction that makes their arms and legs fall off, followed by swimming lessons in a tar pit. They will remain there as an example to the others.

    Why exactly am I, a human who has to pay bills, supposed to be excited about this or to support it?

    Sooner or later the whole Ai thing will die, and at that point ill take great pleasure in watching the very companies that replaced humans, desperately try to get them back.

    Ps: Whoever painted this, hopefully OP (yes painted because to me this looks like a scanned A4? watercolour), your style is wonderful and the colour choices are so good.

      Some jobs are never coming back. Sure, some companies may have been over zealous in making redundancies. But there are plenty of things existing AI tools have replaced.

      It doesn’t have to do 100% of your job. If it does 20% of it cheaper than your wages then they can reduce your department by 25% and tell you to work harder because you should be thankful to still have a job.

      Still waiting to see all these new jobs it creates. Last I heard stats for the UK it’s just reduced the number of jobs. If we were to successfully demand a reduced working week then it could end up ok. Currently they are taking all the benefits and we are seeing none of it.

        people aren’t seeing any of the benefits because the government just outright hates the people. those in power think that the lower classes are just some kind of really bad people who murdered and plundered to get where they are. and partially, that’s indeed what europeans/americans did to get to where they are today. if the government really liked the people, they might give some handouts. though whether that’s actually coming, we’ll see.

        anyways, handouts to the people would boost the economy because people have more money to spend, and also, new fields of industry are being created, such as renewable energy and spaceflight.

        When business no longer values human work then maybe in spite of all the chaos it will cause, its time to let it die. Whatever the outcome the next imo ~20 years are bound to be a turbulent time.

        Yep, this technology will be like the internet. Just because the dotcom bubble popped doesn’t mean the technology went away or didn’t continue to progress and evolve.

      And what about the people who suffer along the way, or the people who don’t even survive as we wait for this to happen?

    I thought it was a sort of (bad) attention seeking satire… but I’m pretty sure they are really serious about that -_-’

      This doesn’t name the company directly using that advertising scheme, and could just be describing the vibe of current job hunting.

      Because that’s what it felt like to me, even before I saw those fuckass ads.
