"replace things that were done by humans" isn't a loss by itself, if it frees up human labour to do other things. If human replaced by AI can't find better things to do, such that it makes them poorer, or anti-social its a loss but not necessarily AI's fault.

Not sure if you realise that the social credit system is commonly misinterpreted ? It's just a similar financial credit score system in the west. Theres nothing in place that remotely looks like that episode of black mirror.

Because they are not going to spend it on things that's going to help them improve skills and finding jobs, they'll stuck as homeless forever.

Like when world bank lend money to country that are bankrupted, they ask them to take the money for reform and try to improve their economy, same should happen here.

The most accurate answer might still not be correct, so they'll still go to stackoverflow to ask new ones, thus keeping the pipeline alive ?

I agree that the 60s has a link to this collective activity, but I believe they do it now to exercise and socialise, it's not a power move or anything. The Chinese society are ashamed of that period, and a power move like that will back fire. Another part in play could be the Confucius culture, some stubborn elders would expect respect from youngsters even though they are the annoying kid.

I grow up in Beijing and I have to say this is not accurate but statement like this surely is eye-catching in western media... My view on this is that the old generation just don't have the habit and common courtesy of living in cities, they lived in poor rural areas for many years before come to the city. Things like queueing, keep voice down was simply not needed outside of city, The young generation is much better at these, though still have plenty of space to improve!

This reminds me a plot in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", where the Taichi master asks the student how much he remembered what was shown to him, and keeps doing it until he "remembers nothing", that's when he has fully learned Taichi.
