Fiverr CEO explains alarming message to workers about AI

AI was asked to figure out if there is enough water on the planet to sustain crypto mining, cooling centers and AI. AI said there was not. Fight for your water.

Yikes!😅

Does this mean we can work less as a society?? Cause we were NOT put on this planet to work for all our lives with such little pay and quality of life.

Start by hooking people up with a home, maybe even land.

Everyone panic! Fear! Chaos! The robots are coming!

The fact that the algorithm had this on my autoplay shows how f*ckin worthless that AI is.

Game Over! 💯
The future belongs to AI. 💯

I have never been to a protest or wanted to go to one but if a robot becomes my boss or takes my job I'm going to the picket lines

I’m pretty sure he’s not going to pay you to ‘explore your humanity’ at work. This is his thinly veiled warning that a lot of his employees are about to get fired.

They’re using AI for everything except for building new homes or solving the homeless problem.

What you're saying is invest in companies using AI now, so when it takes your job and the most expensive cost center of these companies is removed, you'll basically monetize the job losses and rise with AI lol. I mean it's going to happen anyway, at least there's a way to benefit from it.

"I would employees to automate 100% of their task" are you guys taking this guy seriously? 🤣🤣

That is what he said but in reality if you 100% automated your job. They will fire you because they don't need you anymore. Don't fall for that.

I'll tell you about the reality of AI at this time. 40% of AI output suffers from hallucinations, inaccuracy; that's a lot. So, a software developer should not be just doing projects but including Ai maintenance by contract. That means agencies will do better because they offer those services more cost-effectively. Agencies can freelance employ developers. So it's agency within agency.

This all such crap. The boring jobs they speak of are doing dishes, vacuuming, dusting, mopping, cleaning the house. As a creative I don’t find making art boring and unfulfilling. It’s working for someone and house work, all the things that keep me from doing what I want, is unfulfilling. But none of this so crap is solving those problems. It’s only solving corporations and companies from having to pay more for labor and therefore increase the profit margins. It’s all a grift. I don’t see any good coming to the commons, to the bulk of society. It seems to only benefit the wealthy. One ridiculous argument as a pro for this is that everyone can be an entrepreneur. What the hell. No they can’t. And to have millions of entrepreneurs with something to sell, well who’s going to buy. It’s all a crock.

Hey, why don’t you worry about getting that stock price up and actually creating some value instead of bullying your employees into working “harder”

Great way to convince the market not to invest in your company. What business does Fivrr have if AI is going to replace all their human workers. It's a marketplace for human labor. 😅

Im calling BS.

Those working in AI development know jobs will be replaced but we are not supposed to mention it or unions will start pushing for protection for their workers from AI and robotics.

AI can't provide experiences - maybe it's a great time to start recreational/hospitality/adventure (i.e., experiential) related business...I have no idea. What's most concerning is the silence around what's going to happen when millions file unemployment claims and few of them can pivot to a new job because AI has replaced jobs at their skill levels...including white collar jobs. If tech and capitalism created the problem, shouldn't they have to pay for it (e.g., universal basic income, innovative low income housing solutions), or will governments have to shoulder the burden? AI needs to address employment, wage, and other immanent social disasters now, whether its leaders and innovators think they should have to. The only certainty is that AI is going to be responsible - there's no running from that.

I was frightened about AI taking my job until I started using it. After some recent experiences, part of me truly hopes that I get fired because I'm able to do twice as much work in the same or less time than I use to. For the first time, I feel like I might be able to start a business and leave the slavery of horrible bosses, workplace nepotism and culture. I won't be surprised if I'm enslaved by the machines eventually, but until then I'd love to enlist the machines for what feels like a competitive advantage in my field. I've had to dabble in lots of different competencies for work while never reaching competency in any of them. The dabbling is finally paying off; I'm experienced just enough to ask the right questions and fill the knowledge gaps that have held me back. I'm going to enjoy it until AI turns me into a paperclip.

Watch your unit!

I've used Fiverr for several years to purchase graphic artwork and editing by independent contractors. Now that AI has been unleashed, I can see how both of those areas will be under extreme pressure. So far as I know, Fiverr has no employees, as some of the comments suggest. The people I've dealt with are all Freelancers; that's half a dozen I've contracted with since 2021. I'm happy with their work and would continue to use these people, but I can see where a lot of mediocre talents will get flushed away quickly, and I don't see anything coming along in the free market that will change that.

Sooo…everyone is a manager now?

Do all the boring stuff bro it’s literally making animation films. I know a lot of animators who find their job interesting

We need to start rejecting all products from companies that don't hire people! If everything is automated what the eff are we gonna do? How many of us will be needed to make decisions? If full automation is it, We should still be hired & be paid for 40 hrs per week but be allowed to work less hours since AI is taking over our opportunity and still profiting the company.

Use AI to replace your role later, or you're fired right now.
Shopify just did the same. What a horrible environment to work in.

Service jobs that repair or replace home or automobile are safe for at least 5 years.

Anybody that’s scared of AI, does not understand AI. Solution: understand AI.

So work harder and faster for less pay.

He's trying to be nice but if an AI agent does 80% of you job and fast, are the board of directors going to keep people employed full time?

Ever since we automated agriculture, there was no need for every adult to work 40 hour weeks for 30 to 40 years. It's a choice. We could all be working a lot less and enjoying life a lot more.

Rainy days & Mondays always get me down.

Did they not use this same logic when manufacturing jobs were being moved to low cost countries???😂😂😂

UBI

How about destroy Ai?

Bye bye computer science majors LMAO

He's insane.

How will AI replace lawyers? Who will argue in courts? Total bs. AI is just a nice chatbot, nothing else.

I'm not worried that AI is going to take my job. I'm worried that society is not going to pivot to a. post capitalist economy

I'm not buying this AI stuff comingling with jobs and creating new ones. For humans to use AI as a superpower is ridiculous, because the human mind can't multitask very well and keep a very high quality output up. It's just not physically possible. Somethings gotta give regarding quality.

The reality is AI is just gonna make you obsolete in the workforce completely. The superpowers thing is a band aid that will last in the short-term.

Theres nothing right now mechanically that can rival the human hand. How are the supposed to replace humans without hands? They can have those robotic terminator full grip hands but thats not enough to replace humans.

Out of touch dude. Many people just process orders, invoices, calls, etc. they are dunzo. There’s no room in a 100 employee business for 100 strategists

This chad’s head will explode once ai replaces “prompt engineers”

So basically, to translate: “Find a way to automate your job so we can discard you shortly after”

Soon the manhunt for more resources will start. Thanks to our ELITES :))

The thing is 95% of people can't MONEITIZE THEIR SPECIALITY.

The Expanse tv show gets into this reality. Not sure if it will happen exactly as is. UBI will have to become into play somehow.

The CEO wants his staff to work like machines.

Computers refuse to understand how I am feeling today

Too late
