Generative AI is full steam ahead and will probably decimate a majority of white collar jobs. The response then has often been, well at least blue collar jobs will be thriving, but I question how?
- You will get increased competition as there is a lot of people who got nothing better to do.
- If there is no white collar work that also means no offices, that is a massive amount of potential work that is just gone.
- If no one has any money, how exactly are they going to pay for your services.
So I guess I do not understand this thinking that blue collar work will be fine and that the simplistic view that blue collar and white collar are these separate worlds that has no effect on each other.
Only work I see that will be fine will be nurses, special needs assistants etc, that is literally it. I would say day care as well but if everyone is unemployed who is sending their kids to day care?
