Key Points

The post challenges the “AI optimists” view by questioning how AI could lead to unemployment falling to near zero, instead highlighting concerns that unemployment could remain around 20% as AI adoption progresses.
It argues that AI should be framed as a tool to help humans solve problems and become more effective, while warning that fear of income loss can be harmful.
The author questions whether AI advocates dislike humans, since unemployment is presented as a major societal problem that AI should (in their view) help address rather than worsen.
They claim that public support appears higher for universal job guarantees than for universal basic income, arguing many people want to work and contribute while avoiding exploitation and insecurity.
The post ends by asking what perspectives the “AI optimists” are missing, and whether the author’s stance aligns more with “AI pessimists” or “realists.”

How does what Dario is saying that unemployment is going to 20% if AI is going to be used to solve our problems?

AI is a tool for humans to point at problems and solve them. Making humans act less like machine. Good. Making humans afraid that they will lose their income source because of a machine. Bad.

This doesn’t make logical sense. Do they not like humans and want to solve their problems? Unemployment is one of our biggest problems. And they are saying that AI can’t fix it?

Also, universal job guantee polls higher than universal basic income. Most people like to work and provide value. They don’t like being exploited and living in fear that their livelihood will be erased.

What am I missing here AI optimists? AI pessimist? Realists?
