West's Theory Of Specific Economic Destruction

Summary: AI will specifically destroy jobs created by computers in the first place, preserving 'offline' jobs, while minimally impacting work quality, and preserving gross productivity.

1) The jobs that AI destroys will largely be isolated to many of the same jobs the computers created, facilitated or enabled, 2) The more that workers in a given field were reliant upon computers, the lower the percentage of them will be required to accomplish the same output after AI is deployed; this reduction in demand for workers could be up to 90% in some market segments. 3) When this happens, work quality only suffers slightly; 4) When this happens, productivity is not reduced, and some companies may scale-up fewer workers to surpass previous productivity levels.

The take-away is that jobs that were largely or entirely not dependent on computers (or which predate computer) will be less impacted by the rollout of ML and AI. These jobs include carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen.

This will remain true until corporations push culture if not laws to have androids perform those remaining jobs left to humans (e.g. carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen). At that point, society will debate whether productivity is more important that anthropocentrism and protecting a moralized, industrious, human populations.

Put forth by Zackery West, marketer, in 2024.

a Kanye West

An incident when somebody takes to the stage to correct somebody else, even though no one ever asks them too (especially Beyonce).
A: I'm so worried about my group mate. I think he will screw up our presentation tomorrow.
B: Don't worry, if you sense something wrong, do a Kanye West.

Traverse City West

Either the best or the worst high school you’ve ever heard of/been to. In contrast to the other school in town, Traverse City Central, it is the best (Central sucks). Known for having the best student section in the state of Michigan, adequate sports teams, and “Bring Your Tractor to School Day”.
Person 1: Why were there so many tractors on Silver Lake Road this morning?
Person 2: Must have been Bring Your Tractor to School Day up at Traverse City West.
