LIFE LONG LEARNING IS FULLY HUMAN, NOTHING ARTIFICIAL
RΓ©sistant learners say AI will hollow out the workforce. Those already fear full of their own “learning for life” are already decrying a technology which is patently here to stay. Criticise, resist and complain from a point of limiting self ignorance and a personal lack of ability to actually learn, pay attention and find out for them self what AI is actually capable of.
I say, the stuck, staid and cloistered workforce, those unable to unlearn and relearn, was already hollow — they just couldn’t admit it. Why would you admit your own self ignorance when it’s far easier to point your finger at “all those others over there…”
70% of workers are disengaged. Simply going through the work motions to try and earn enough to stay alive.
Half are burned out. Attached to a boss or a job they resent or are underpaid for.
A third are on antidepressants. Many drink for a “happy hour” to by pass or drown their stress. Addicted to mindless screens of streams of moronic entertainment. Most still hate Monday.
AI didn’t break work.
AI exposed what work has become. Drudgery. Desperation. Inability to makes ends meet.
AI didn’t cause any of that.
AI, once life long learners realise, is actually a solution to many of the current ills of staid, stuck and limiting industrial era work. AI is here to liberate, but first the transitional pain as old ways leave and fresh new HUMAN capacity for creative learning is realised.
