Amazon is warning its employees that artificial intelligence will help the company have a smaller workforce in the future. Read more: cnn.it/3FZVFuP

So since the trend looks like AI replacing human jobs where will humans go for work? I remember when businesses started half time so they didn’t have to pay benefits. Now when you walk into stores there is self checkout replacing humans. What will happen to humans in the future?

So the tax breaks they got in my state to build a warehouse here were a bait and switch? The whole point of tax breaks is to lure companies to your state and create job opportunities.

Everyone knows that this is inevitable. Instead of complaining about it, workers should really be taking this opportunity to acquire new skills and move on to other professions. Amazon has been quite open about the eventual and gradual replacement. Nothing lasts forever and people should know that.

ALL COMPANIES CHOOSING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INSTEAD OF 'HUMAN FORCE' TO KILL OUR CITIZENS FROM STARVATION INDUCED BY JOBLESSLESS AND LACK OF REGULAR SALARIES "MUST BE BOICOTTED AND BANNED FROM BUSINESS!!" SUCH A SELFISH AND MONEY GREEDY ATTITUDE IS SOULLESS AND A MONSRROUS ACTION OF A "MURDERER!"

I reduced my purchasing. Sadly, local shops often don’t carry items I’m looking for. Can’t tell you the number if times I talk myself out of purchase .. maybe I can make do without that purchase

Sounds like a good reason to stop shopping at Amazon! Thanks, @cnn.com for the advice.

I thought we were boycotting Amazon. Good fucking luck with that AI shit. Humans input data and directives to train the AI---or maybe AI will do that too, compounding glitches and errors. AI can't even come up with an answer as to whether a favorite restaurant is open. Vote of NO Confidence.

You don’t think Walmart and other box stores won’t be using more AI and robots in place of humans? They already makes us cash out our own items. One human now monitors 10 self checkouts.

But, if everyone, and I mean everyone, goes shopping in stores to the point where there's too much foot traffic in stores, they'll need to hire people.
jun 18, 2025, 6:20 pm • 0 0 • view
Maybe they put back up some of the box stores that have been closing but they’ll still be filled with robots and self checkouts. Even the floor cleaner at Walmart is a robot now.

Having cleaned floors, my back is ok with letting the robots do that job. Get robots to do that kind of shit, and get people for everything else. I want to shop where people hire people, instead of fire them!

The point is, that’s not going to happen. They’ll replace everyone the minute they can. I wish it wasn’t that way but that’s the world we’re heading towards.
