The following report is by the Trends Journal:
Seventy-two percent of workers using AI on the job say it makes them more productive, a CNBC survey found.
The survey also found that the more an employee uses AI at work, the more worried that person is about losing that job to AI.
Predictably, the proportion of workers using AI falls as age increases: 37 percent of Gen Z and 35 percent of Millennials use AI at their jobs, but only 25 percent of Gen X’ers and 17 percent of Baby Boomers have.
In an unexpected result, 41 percent of Asian employees, 38 percent of Black, and 36 percent of Hispanic workers have used AI in their work, while only 23 percent of white workers report having done so.
Perhaps precisely because AI is such an effective productivity tool, 42 percent of survey respondents are worried that AI might rob them of their jobs. That fear nags 44 percent of line workers and 38 percent of managers and executives.
Forty-seven percent of employees making $50,000 a year or less are concerned, compared to 39 percent of people earning $50,000 to $100,000 and 36 percent of six-figure earners.
Sixty percent of the heaviest AI users fear being replaced by a bot, while only 35 percent of those who don’t use AI at all are.
Not to worry, says Harvard social scientist Arthur Brooks, who believes AI will not erase jobs but will “disassemble” them.
“There are numerous discrete tasks for any job that a person does,” Brooks said to CNBC. “AI is going to unbundle those tasks and reassemble them” in new ways. “Jobs will change, but they’re not all going away.”
The online poll survey was conducted from 4 through 8 December among 7,776 U.S. workers.
TRENDPOST: Early data shows that AI is indeed replacing some humans entirely, while assisting others and freeing some from job-related drudgery so they can concentrate on conceptual work.
As we have said, AI is likely to strengthen the hourglass economy. Highly-skilled workers will earn comfortable incomes and those without adequate technical skills will muddle along. Fewer jobs will be available between those extremes.

The temptation to allow AI to takeover people’s lives grows by the literal day, as big-tech is shoving it down our throats, screaming that it will be the “new normal” for everyone, and that’s just that. I’ve already covered in other reports that people are already getting laid-off because it was determined AI and chatbots can do the tasks faster and more efficiently, and don’t come with all these additional costs.
If you thought economic conditions were bad now, just wait until more of these corporations trim the fat and get rid of all the staff they don’t need with AI, and then decide to not renew their leases and overturn their real estate to the banks…

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

“ya think so” perfect Jacob; that sums it up and puts a bow on it
1 Timothy6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. (from the true and only word of God the KJV Bible) it’s all for the money.
A 5 year old could figure this out. They don’t have to feed the bots or insure them or pay their salary, so what’s not to like for them They can knock us off like they’re determined to do and have these AI’s working for them, with no complainers. Sad, but true. Only thing is, God’s gonna put a kink in their think. Their well planned schemes are going to go amok very soon.
