AI's rise is stirring up mixed feelings some are excited, others scared. A lot of folks think it's just gonna replace human workers, but honestly, that's not the whole picture. AI is more about cutting out inefficiencies than kicking people out of their jobs. Just my two cents. I'm curious to hear what you all think. I've always been a tech optimist, and AI has me really intrigued. Its impact in different industries is pretty mind-blowing. Whether it's finance, healthcare, marketing, gaming, or publishing, AI is reshaping how we operate day to day. One thing that's really caught my eye is the AI-driven crypto projects. Some of these are doing really well, and I'm keeping tabs on a few that are already listed on big exchanges. There are also some other AI tokens I’ve got my eye on. I’d love to know if anyone else has some on their radar too. The possibilities for AI innovation are enormous, and I'm always keen to see how it's being used in different fields. Anyone here still worried that AI is gonna wipe out jobs for humans?

As an investment, I don't think cryptocurrencies which are based on Artificial intelligence are a good option. Something similar to what happened to storage cryptocurrencies and blockchainsnwill happen: hype will eventually vanish and people will simply opt to use AIs developed by centralized organizations and companies, like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and meta/facebook. Ironically, memecoins have more to offer and they are likely to out perform AI coins. Keep in mind those companies I just mention have more capital and possibilities to be more advanced than decentralized AIs, development by a small team. Also, in my personal opinion Artificial intelligence will indeed take human jobs. In the same manner the stream engine (during the first industrial revolution) take many manual jobs from people.

AI will probably end up much like NFTs.  It is mostly hype, there is good, there is bad but at the end of the hype the truly useful aspects of it remain.  In the case of NFTs, I do not even know if there is any useful aspect.  For AI, it will likely remain solid in areas where it can actually help.  Have you ever interacted with an AI?  Have you seen what it can do?  Sometimes it can surprise you by how much it can do, other times it may be surprisingly stupid.  I doubt it will work as good as a group of human minds could.  It may help with precision, but even there you may see errors.  Humans will stop rather quickly when an error occurs, but if an AI thinks there is no error, it continues to do what it should not do potentially causing way more damage and expenses than a group of employees could. Further more, what even is AI?  People barely even know what it is.  Nowadays every thing that is programmed is called that way for marketing purposes.

We are living in a very progressive world, and this is bound to happen. I don’t think we can or should use the word "all" because AI, by definition, refers to artificial intelligence. Some jobs are exclusive to humans, including manual labor, creative thinking, and those related to human relationships. I prefer to go to a psychologist for my behavior problems rather than an AI whose inputs are all reference-based. I agree with using the word integration rather than replacing it, as this would put humans below the level of these AIs, which is unacceptable.

The reality sucks that AI could replace a lot of jobs because of major upgrades from the companies if they see the better productivity that they'll get from it. Plus, the cost isn't going to be that much to them and it's likely one time payment if not subscription based then, lifetime function until the developers stop supporting it. People need to upgrade their skills and learn something new to cope with the demand in the labor market so that they won't get stuck from the jobs that could be replaced by humans. Even some people says that even food production and farming might replace people doing farm jobs. But IMHO, like the real bubble, AIs are into this mania and once it pops, we'll get back to normal and the hype that it gets now will be gone.

Most probably the crypto related AI will become like NFT and it won't be a big deal, but at the same time we are talking about something that is getting different here, and it's going to be a lot better and won't face that much trouble. Because AI itself will grow and continue to grow, not the crypto version, not projects that uses AI, I mean the one that is just related to AI itself, like Gemini, chatgpt, midjourney and all that. If they can do a better job there, then we can definitely see it be a lot better. So there is no need to look for it in the crypto world, considering the big companies already spent countless billions on it, and nothing in this space will have that funding to start doing something similar.

Companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and meta/facebook of course are established and have the trust of their user base. Maybe you've noticed too that those investing in memecoins understand that the tide could turn in their favor or against them. On AI taking over jobs, will these AI operate or prompt itself?

All of the examples that you have listed are mostly gimmicks and are over hyped, very similar to the crypto projects. Read less marketing information and do proper research. None of those companies have anything that could be considered artificial intelligence. Yes they will, especially blockchain based AI projects that are complete gimmick. They are just riding on a hype wave and don't have anything real. AI does not exist. What is called AI today is just an advanced computer algorithm.

There are lots of those coins from Graph, Bittensor, NEAR protocol etc all in coingecko or CMC. I was thinking you will share the ones in your list to see if they have prospect.   It is a matter of time that human jobs will find there place with robots. AI chatbots have now taken over receptionist kind of work, agents, clerks etc. The reality is here and no need to be afraid but those who are interested in office jobs should endeavour to diversify their skill to digital related services, like website design, cyber security, blockchain tech, Graphic designing, coding, digital marketing etc

But don't you see that's how it's literally replacing human jobs, by doing them itself. Sure, it will change things, and if people want to adapt to changing jobs, those jobs will most likely change to be less "meaningful" and sort of "meta" jobs. Like working in the entertainment and using AI. But thing is that less people will need to work, and what do you think happens to those who wont? They are not needed. And before you say that these people will be taken care of with some kind of free citizenship salary, you could ask why aren't they doing it right now? That's because it's never going to happen.

AI will replace the jobs of people who are not experts. There was a time when you could survive in the market by knowing a little about something. Because there was a shortage of experienced people. But now it is possible to do a lot with AI, so there is no need for those people who knew a little. But AI will not be able to replace those who are experts in a sector. Human work is never done by robots. Robots operate under human command. A human can think in different directions using his brain but AI continues to work the way it is trained.

you are right to point out the limitations. i have used AI a fair bit and it can be kind of impressive to use at times but it can also be somehow dumb although in a funny way or make mistakes humans will on a normal day notice very quickly. That's why i don’t see it as a full replacement for people on a long run! i think it is more like an assistant that still needs human oversight or monotoring and yes! this days the term AI gets annoyingly slapped on almost everything now. Because like half of the AI projects in crypto and some startups are just like basic automations that is dressed up with buzz words more like a loud noise without direction!! I think the real test will be which ones actually solve problems instead of just chasing the hype! especially from paid influencers.

Yes of course, solving the problem of wasting time with a particular job is the main focus of AI, making it easy for people to transform the result of work faster which is operated by humans not entirely by machines, in that case, its said to be eliminating inefficiency. Actually, there is still a human force behind its every AI machines, but the way workforce suppose have been done by human is not efficiently influenced by machines operarted by human.

What we have in AI today is still limited, and its capabilities are not yet as perfect as people expect, leading them to believe that AI will replace humans. I say no to equating it with NFTs because AI truly has a function—in data analysis, document organization, and working efficiently. Of course, AI will not replace humans, but it assists humans in their work, especially in data processing. After all, AI is a collection of codes and information input into it, enabling it to operate based on the data fed into its vast repository. Human jobs will remain, though some fields will shift—that’s inevitable in every technological disruption. Resisting it isn’t a good option; adapting to the times is a wiser decision to stay competitive.

Well I do think there is alot of jobs that can be replaced with AI. But there is some people I do think that do not want to work with AI and want to have a real human being do the work for them. I think there will be alot of jobs that can offer AI to a customer. But I do not think we will have robots or AI that is going to replace all human people. Not for along time I do not think it will be like this.

AI is already replacing some human jobs especially repetitive ones like data entry or basic customer support. It’s helpful for efficiency but it can also cause problems if too many people lose work & new jobs don’t grow fast enough. The real challenge is making sure people can learn new skills to work alongside AI instead of being pushed aside. It’s not all bad but if we don’t prepare it could become a serious issue.

We are now in an era of high technology, where when AI first emerged, many communities were immediately concerned that it would end their careers. However, as time went on, that's not what happened. Instead, AI has helped in other ways, such as assisting online resellers to generate other sources of income. AI systems are particularly useful in the field of social media for creating video content or promoting their products.

There’s always this dual reaction whenever a breakthrough technology shows up some people see the opportunities and some see the risks and both feelings are valid but looking at history the pattern is clear technology usually clears the repetitive and inefficient parts while opening doors to new areas we couldn’t even imagine before. AI backed crypto projects are a perfect example of this shift not just hype but showing practical integrations where automation data crunching and predictive modeling can actually give value in finance and investment it’s a sign that ai isn’t about replacing humans but amplifying what we can do. In every sector it touches ai changes workflows but it doesn’t erase the human need for creativity strategy and decision making it’s the blend of machine efficiency and human insight that creates progress so instead of fearing total job replacement the better question might be how do we position ourselves to take advantage of the changes that are already happening.

In many cases, the shift has already happened and impact is noticeable. Like , 90% of content writers lost work because of AI. Same way 60-70% of companies have removed human support agents and providing support with the help of AI. Same way many other jobs are impacted. The companies working in AI know that there will be lot of demand for AI tools and services and that is why they are investing billions in it.

The use of AI was introduced to complement human efforts and not to render us effortless in career, AI cannot do it all without the use of human intelligence, because we are the brain behind any technology innovation made with AI, let's see it as a positive development and not a negative one, as they stand to serve and complement our works by making them done at the very best standards with little or no stress.
