People on HN like to split hairs and make muddled juxtapositions about human rights and AI model capabilities. But this is something that people and governments around the world would have to reckon with very quickly, since the rate at which generative AI technology is advancing, there could be hundreds of millions of people who’re unemployed and have no way to find work.
The quickest way to address this would be an extremely high tax rate on any generative AI model, say 500%, while the government figures out what’s the best way to sustain an economy (such as UBI) with a diminishing set of consumers as more people are pushed towards unemployment.
