ai will be disproportionately affected by climate change. rising sea levels and increased temperatures don’t get along with electronics. also if power has to be rationed what will they do then?
I know Trader Joe's made a statement that they will always use human cashiers. There could be some push back to going automated. If people refuse to shop at fully automated stores.
There are more people using the self checkout then using cashiers these days..
My Walmart has 2 human cashiers and 2 corrals of self checkouts at either end.
10 self checkouts and 2 human cashiers.
I showed a friend how to use the self checkout. She had bananas and I knew they were "4011" but I showed her how to look it up.
Adjust, adapt or be left behind.
This shift to AI in the consumer sector will free up a lot of young people for military service in WWIII. It’s time for all those gamers to put on their socks and shoulder real weapons!

At this point there is not large a displacement of workers that is obvious to everyone. And there still seems to be a worker shortage in retail. But if that changes and a large amount of those who worked these jobs are out of work, sentiment might turn against some parts of automation. Who knows. I think there will be a point when businesses using the fact humans still work there as a selling point for whatever business they are in.
I am in a smaller town in Oklahoma but we have a Walmart. I couple years ago I always used the self checkout because there was never a line. I would look down and see big lines with the human cashiers. Now its often flip flopped. Big line in self check out and if I walk down to the last human cashier sometimes no line at all. I will go wherever I can get out of there the fastest.
There’s a saying that these tech companies apparently aren’t aware of. “Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should”. They forget who holds the power in the United States of America. It’s the people. If the people see all of their jobs taken by robots? We will simply vote to change policy in-laws. And the corporations that think they run things will be taxed into oblivion so we can sit home and live off of their neat little inventions.
I wish it was so... but there is way too much evidence that it isn't... and never was.
Hollywood Writers on Strike Grapple with AI’s Role in Creative Process
Even Hollywood's elite, such as Joe Russo, the filmmaker and producer behind Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, foresee a future where AI "engineers storytelling" in movies, potentially replacing human writers with AI-generated content:
So potentially, what you could do with it is obviously use it to engineer storytelling and change storytelling. So you have a constantly evolving story, either in a game or in a movie, or a TV show. You could walk into your house and save the AI on your streaming platform. “Hey, I want a movie starring my photoreal avatar and Marilyn Monroe's photoreal avatar. I want it to be a rom-com because I've had a rough day,” and it renders a very competent story with dialogue that mimics your voice. It mimics your voice, and suddenly now you have a rom-com starring you that's 90 minutes long. So you can curate your story specifically to you.”
AI does not exist, and it never will. What passes for "AI" is garbage like chatbots, or email/text auto responses. And no, technology will never replace human work. I mean for Christs sake, we still have flesh and blood people operating the toll booths.

And those humans are being replaced by systems reading and electronic signal as you pass through and are in effect back up for the robot arms. It is only a matter of time before folks lock out those who refuse the chip, fob or card and want to depend upon cash
I don't think AI will replace all work. There are too many egotistical, narcissistic and lazy people in the workplace who need the support and supply that underlings bring to them. AI isn't going to stroke their egos like a live person will.
And what will replace AI when it becomes lazy and doesn't want to work anymore? Perhaps it will develop AAI.
