    Well yeah, they don’t have enough young people to replace them. Did you miss the France protests?

      We have automation and increased production to replace them. That’s what innovation is supposed to have done for society.

      Like… wtf is this brain rot where we have produced productivity tenfold or more since the last generation and yet we try to tell people they can’t retire because there’s not enough workers to sustain it? That’s ludicrous.

        Someone has to use those machines it is even proven that an AI system by itself is not good at all you need the ai in tandem with humans to ease and improve the tasks being done

          You understand that I’m not talking about AI right? I’m talking about technology that improves production.

                Bro probably thinks industrial revolution was because of machine learning, its better to ignore fools like this

                  I just have a hard time when I encounter just brutal unfiltered stupidity like this. Especially when it’s with a condescending tone. It’s like… I wanna give them a chance to explain because maybe I’m misunderstanding. But it always boils down into “no, this person is just a drooling moron.”

                  That’s frustrating to me. I want to believe people are better than that. And I know they can be.

                Not what I said. You implied ai doesn’t improve production, I am saying that it does improve it. Now I don’t know if you are just facetious
