In a recent interview at OpenAI's DevDay conference, CEO Sam Altman addressed the potential impact of AI on employment, suggesting that many current jobs might be perceived as less 'real' compared to essential roles like farming. He referenced a thought experiment comparing today's job landscape to that of a farmer from fifty years ago, who might struggle to envision the job opportunities created by the internet. Altman expressed a mixed sentiment about the future, feeling both reassured and concerned about the changes AI will bring. He emphasized that while many jobs may be threatened, new roles will emerge, and human creativity will adapt to these changes. Altman's comments highlight the ongoing debate about the nature of work and the transformative effects of technology on employment.
