Meanwhile, readers say that some AI-penned articles switch languages halfway through.

    edit: added video explaining democratic workplaces


    Sadly, this will keep happening.

    Corporations are: profit>humans.

    Once it is cheaper to replace humans, they will.

    Co-ops and unions. Democracy in the workforce is required.

      If the workforce democratically decides to keep people employed whose job can be done cheaper by AI, that company will not survive in the long term.
      So either we as a society decide to artificially keep people in jobs that aren’t needed anymore, or we have to give the labor cost savings to the people instead of the owners.

      Both is not possible under a Capitalist system, so that will have to go.

        labor cost savings to the people instead of the owners.

        This is the way.

        Profit sharing should be a part of our laws.

        You have a point, if a democratic workforce votes to increase profit instead of investing in workforce, they will not survive.

        I am thinking it would work more like a non-profit, due to all the money made would be used in reinvesting in the company and paying workers.

        Aren’t some companies artificially kept up or is it manipulation of the market?

        I think the capitalist system is already dead, you need markets for capitalist system.

      Would love the AI society that artists and authors started to imagine (in an admittedly idyllic fashion) a world where technology and AI meant that people could invest more time in personal projects, socializing, and relaxation instead of working all the time. All it will really do under our current system is leave a bunch of people who’ve been replaced with no real way to stay afloat. We’re replacing the workers, but not their support system

        Agree, making harder for working class to support ourselves

        No support system in the works, so more crime and violence as a result.

      It seems that the work was easy enough to be replaced. I wouldn’t do a job that can be replaced by an AI in the long term.

      Union density is highest in pseudo-socialist countries like Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and in pseudo-communist/ex-communist countries like China, Russia, Kazakhstan…
