If AI fulfils its promise, we are poised to see a restructuring of work greater than that brought about by computers or the internet, as whole sections of the workforce are eliminated or boiled down to a small number of workers overseeing AI output.

This has an effect of de-skilling the population. Those of us who used to write, translate, draw, or design may find ourselves instead editing machine output. Similarly, those who write code, do tech support, or conduct research may end up essentially machine operators, guiding the AI through tasks that we would no longer have the skills to do ourselves. AI may well come for truck drivers and pilots, architects and engineers, data analysts and mathematicians, musicians and artists, doctors and therapists. It doesn’t mean that these skills will be lost entirely — there were still people who knew how to weave on equipment they could make themselves after the mechanical loom had taken over the industry — but they will be more rare and much less valuable. This will have many impacts, but one will be similar to what happened to the manufacturing sector as supply chains became global — less control over the work, less possibility for work as a site of autonomy, fewer skills gained through work that are useful outside of it, less ability to produce anything of value. All this makes social revolution less possible, as it becomes harder to break free of structures of domination and rebuild autonomy.

We don’t want to live in a world like this
