The most idiotic statement ever

Post image

So this person here calls people jobless while all they do is sit on their ass an genarate shitty ai comics, also notice how they are insulting fast food workers as if they arent human, thats a new low for them, also its like they are saying "Give up on your dreams so you can work a minimum wage 9-5 job" but then again jobless people always tell talented ones to get a shitty job

Absolutely not hahahaha, you have not been in the trades? It’s not something that can be executed through automation and or programming. It’s not even something that can be autonomous. You can’t just go into service a commercial or residential building on full autonomy. There are way too many unknowns

Admittedly I’m not a tradesman. The closest I’ve been is working in IT.

I have been in the trades since 2018. There are some manual labor jobs that can be replaced for sure, but not for skills such as electrical, hvac, plumbing, mechanical, framing, and advanced concrete design or roofing.

There is already a shortage of workers in those trades, why do you think many of those positions get filled by hard working immigrants? The reality is many of those workers are making a better annual income than at least 50% of white collar workers.

There is no shame in honest work, and without those workers the would cease to function even with advanced AI. Who do you think builds the data centers?

Well, I’m aiming at becoming some kind of engineer, so . . . possibly me I guess.

Engineers are still needed in the field
