"[T]here will be far greater jobs" thanks to AI and "the jobs of today will get better."

AI will probably "take over a lot of jobs," but could also "create new kinds of jobs"

"[W]e might witness the creation of a massive new unworking class."

AI "is not going to put a lot of people out of work permanently" but work will change.

AI might take away more than just "drudge work."

"AI software will be in direct competition with a lot of people for jobs."

"Automation and AI will take away pretty much all of our jobs."

Eventually, "AI will be able to do everything" and jobs will exist only for "personal satisfaction."

Will AI Replace All Jobs?

An investigation has claimed that a dataset used to help train artificial intelligence (AI) models from companies such as Apple, Anthropic, and Nvidia contains subtitles from over 100K YouTube videos that were included without the consent of the content creators.

Proof

YouTube Subtitles, which is part of a large dataset known as The Pile, contains captions from over 173K videos that span 48K channels. Taking data from the platform without prior approval would violate YouTube guidelines.

The dataset was first released in 2020, with a Google spokesperson saying that the company has taken action against "abusive, unauthorized scraping." Channels included in the dataset include Harvard, MrBeast, and the BBC.

Futurism

A spokesperson for Anthorpic confirmed that The Pile was used to train their AI assistant Claude, while saying that YouTube's terms only cover "direct use" of the platform. Apple, Nvidia, and Salesforce have previously described using The Pile for model training.

The use of copyrighted data for AI model training is contentious, with authors who have work present in the Books3 dataset filing a lawsuit against AI makers last year. OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murata stated in March that he "wasn’t sure" if their Sora video generator was trained on YouTube videos.

Captions present in the dataset include profanity, slurs, and captions from videos that have been deleted from the platform. YouTubers with content present in the dataset, such as David Pakman and Dave Farina, expressed discontent at the findings.
