Tools don’t replace people. People using tools do 👌🏻
Analysis: 53.6% support, 25.7% confrontation — users mostly agree AI will create unforeseen jobs, sparking optimism and debate about future workforce adaptation.
Real-time analysis of public opinion and engagement
Community concerns and opposing viewpoints
Many insist AI is already replacing jobs — multiple replies point to concrete examples (QA/testing, HR, logistics, healthcare, transport) and personal anecdotes of layoffs, arguing replacement is happening now rather than some distant threat.
Expectation of massive displacement — several users predict rapid, large-scale job loss (“raze a TON of jobs,” “99% of jobs gone”), expressing alarm about societal strain and new precarious roles.
AI will also create new work — a notable thread of replies says new, unforeseen jobs will emerge and that the narrative should include job creation as well as destruction.
Who benefits matters — many emphasize that the real issue is who gets new opportunities, when they arrive, and who gets left behind, not just whether jobs appear.
Calls for adaptation and skill-shifting — practical voices advise learning to use AI (“tools don’t replace people, people using tools do”) and reskilling as the path forward.
Skepticism and derision — a swath of replies push back harshly or dismissively (“not true,” “AI is shit”), with some using insulting language toward proponents or pessimists.
Concerns beyond employment — a few replies raise resource and corporate-power worries (energy/water use, RAM concentration) and the broader social impacts of concentrated AI control.
Tone alternates between dark humor and alarm — sarcasm (“AI overlords,” “Unemployed Specialist”) mixes with genuine fear, making the conversation part prophecy, part satire.

I guess it already has
For now, it only replaces.
Community members who agree with this perspective
A strong consensus says AI will reshape work, not erase it — replies repeatedly note that jobs will change shape and new industries will form.
Many stress that the winners will be those who learn the tools fast and pair them with existing skills, making adaptability the key currency.
Users name concrete emerging roles (prompt engineers, AI trainers, automation consultants, ethicists, deepfake detectors) and even propose long lists of new job titles as examples of what’s coming.
retraining speed and workforce readiness are bottlenecks — the shift is described as a sprint, not a leisurely change.
People emphasize that human strengths — judgment, creativity, negotiation, leadership — will remain valuable because AI amplifies, rather than replaces, those capacities.
Practical worries appear about AI errors and hallucinations, spawning demand for roles like AI bug fixers and data curators to manage and correct outputs.
many replies are optimistic that opportunities will outweigh displacement, while a few voice skepticism about the interim disruption.
People said the same thing about the internet. Turns out the work didn’t vanish, it just changed shape.
True, but that transition period in the middle is gonna be a little spicy 🌶😅
Already did. Prompt engineers. AI trainers. Automation consultants. New jobs rarely look new they’re old roles with leverage.
