The world constantly waits for the latest iPhone. Warring factions in war-torn countries are looking to assert domination via technology. Or, the best and baddest weapons of destruction they can find. They want the means and methods to program machines to do the destructive work, so solders might not have to. We have become a society that is ready to worship anything that makes life easier and efficient. We want everything to be held in the palms of our hands. Computerization has lead to an inadvertent worship of high-tech as a higher power.

The Ronnie James Dio era Black Sabbath albums are standout heavy metal masterpieces. They remain unique entries into the music catalogs. The riffs are incredible walls of guitar sounds driving home a fresh air reminder that metal still was powerful and relevant. Dehumanizer's opening track "Computer God" is an accurate telling of what the future present has become. The song originated as a riff from the Geezer Butler band. The legendary Black Sabbath Bassist is known for his sharp-witted lyrics and for contributing some of the great riffs into the Sabbath catalog.

Data, information all travels through the airwaves and clear cable carriers. The best smartphones are activated by touch. Touch something on the screen and it sends more energy to keep your universe going around. Developers are working to bringing truth to the dreams of high-tech consumers. Most of the global 1st first has embraced high-tech consumerism. Technology is out there to fix the problems of an increasingly volatile society. Humanity has so much wrong with it that it needs work. There is suggestion that artificial intelligence could fix it. Many productive applications are meant to streamline life. They are already fixing the mistakes that could be made manually.

We have become obsessed with how up front life has become. Social media has amplified everything in so many lives. It has become something many people outright depend on for social interaction. It is depended on for business to thrive, and in some cases, for illegal sharing and theft of content. Your own reflection is not just being viewed in the mirror by yourself. Your social media platforms could mean everyone you know or pretend to know are the ones really looking back at you. From behind the walls of an invasive program like Facebook, millions of users willfully put themselves out there for all to see. It can turn life into a solid unmovable steel object. Social media burnout is becoming more real.

The technical paradise can be found on the other side of the wall. If you are depending too much on technology, and forgetting yourself in the process. Bring down that wall. Embrace less in order to live more.

Love being automatic pleasure could become a reality. There are some stories emerging of companies investing in artificial companions capable of everything humans are. Robots are already programmed for hate as weaponry.

How many people spend their last hours of the day on the phones and devices? Social media for some, offers a glimpse into reality of a life that one might only fantasize about. It prompts some people to take snippets of their past and punt them into the future with new twists on old tales. So many people find themselves surrendering to the temptation of pumping themselves up to be something they are not. It is a side of communications in this day and age with dark clouds over it.

We are constantly waiting on the next technological revolution. The next thing to bring the world closer together. Some are looking for the next weapon that can be programmed to bleed poison and cause suffering. Anything that can cause a revolution to reality is worshiped with amazement and wonder. Society needs to use its' best and brightest to have technological advances be for the benefit of everyone. "Computer God" speaks of humanity needing to get control of itself before technology takes over every aspect of existence.

Before it takes on a life of its' own.

-Audience: The world, and those who listen to this specific artist
-Context: A song about how humans turn from nature to computers
This is a song that talks about humans in the future will run away from nature as we rely more and more on technology, eventually digitalizing ourselves into computers. This is a metaphor for how we use technology in our everyday lives. How we rely so much on it that we will go as far as becoming computers in a future where humans have left behind nature in favor of becoming one with technology. Therefore becoming the computers we so rely on.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) is stirring up concerns about how it will impact employment in the future. A recent report sheds light on which jobs are most vulnerable to being replaced by AI, and the outlook for California workers is worrying.

According to a report by Net Voucher Codes, over 320,000 jobs in California are at "high risk" of being automated. Additionally, 1.2 million jobs in the state are at "medium risk" of being replaced by machines. The total number of jobs in California that could be lost to automation stands at a staggering 2 million.

According to the report, cashiers, customer service representatives, and bookkeepers are the top three jobs that are most likely to be replaced by AI. Other high-risk jobs include IT support technicians, billing clerks, HR assistants, paralegal assistants, compliance officers, claims assessors, and executive assistants.

The study analyzed data from USAWage.com, which included information on 199 jobs from each state based on the "Top 200 Popular Jobs" category on the website. Researchers asked ChatGPT, an AI chatbot, to evaluate the relative risk from AI for each job, the likelihood of AI increasing job productivity, and the potential for automation.

The report indicates that workers in other states, such as Texas, New York, and Florida, are also at high risk of being replaced by AI. The report estimates that 19.5 million jobs across the United States are at high risk of being displaced by AI. In contrast, 15.7 million job sectors are expected to use AI to increase productivity.

What does this mean for California workers?

The report's findings should be a wake-up call for Californians, particularly those whose jobs are at high risk of being replaced by machines. With such a significant number of jobs under threat, workers must consider upskilling or reskilling to remain competitive in the job market.

Furthermore, policymakers and business leaders must prioritize investing in education and training programs that will prepare the workforce for the future. This includes developing new curricula that focus on skills that will be in demand in the age of AI, such as data analysis, programming, and critical thinking.

It is also crucial that policymakers consider implementing policies that will mitigate the negative impact of automation on the workforce. This includes programs that provide income support, retraining opportunities, and social safety nets for workers displaced by AI.

In conclusion, the rise of AI poses a significant threat to employment across various sectors in California and the United States. While the full extent of the impact is uncertain, it is clear that workers must take steps to prepare themselves for the future of work. Policymakers and business leaders must also take action to ensure that the workforce is equipped with the skills and resources needed to thrive in the age of automation.

-Subject: How AI will affect jobs in California
-Audience: Californians
-Context: How AI will affect jobs for those living in California
-Summary: This is an article that takes a look at the rise of AI and what that means for Californians. The article states that the prediction of the number of jobs that are at risk of being lost to AI is around 321,900 in the state of California. The article goes on to mention how the rise of AI is projected to impact various types of jobs. One example given is how “The new programs like ChatGPT will make many office jobs more efficient by helping to write invoices or letters.” AI being used for something as simple as writing an invoice should be a clear warning of whats to come. Not only would AI be used for simple tasks, but it would also take over more complex jobs. Further into the article there is a list of the most at risk jobs to be taken by AI. These jobs are Cashier (more than 3.3 million), Customer service representative (more than 2.7 million), Bookkeeper (991,047), IT support technician (690,525), Billing clerk (477,349), HR assistant (384,826), Paralegal assistant (336,250), Compliance officer (334,340), Claims assessor (314,300), and Executive assistant (304,678). All of these jobs are the most at risk, but this is not all the jobs that could be taken as a result of the rise of AI.

"This will change our world."

That's Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates' assessment of ChatGPT, a chatbot that gives strikingly human-like responses to user queries. Developed by San Francisco-based OpenAI and backed by Microsoft, it can collate information in seconds that would otherwise take hours to gather.

"Until now, artificial intelligence could read and write, but could not understand the content," Gates said recently. "The new programs like ChatGPT will make many office jobs more efficient by helping to write invoices or letters."

Those efficiencies will inevitably lead to job losses.

If you're working as a cashier, customer service representative or bookkeeper, you might want to have a backup plan, because a new report from NetVoucherCodes pegs those as the top three occupations likely to be replaced by AI.

And if you live in California you're in for a double whammy because it has the largest number of at-risk jobs, the analysis says.

NetVoucherCodes compiled data for 199 jobs from each state using usawage.com 's Top 200 Popular Jobs for each state in 2022. ChatGPT was then asked for each job's relative risk from AI, automation, and the likelihood of AI increasing each job's productivity.

The report shows 321,900 California jobs are at high risk of being replaced by AI technology, while another 1.2 million jobs are at medium risk. In the realm of automation, more than 2 million Golden State jobs are at high risk and nearly 4 million are at medium risk.

Other states ranking high on both lists include Texas, New York, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

NetVoucherCodes lists the top 10 U.S. jobs at high risk of being replaced by AI:

Cashier (more than 3.3 million)

Customer service representative (more than 2.7 million)

Bookkeeper (991,047)

IT support technician (690,525)

Billing clerk (477,349)

HR assistant (384,826)

Paralegal assistant (336,250)

Compliance officer (334,340)

Claims assessor (314,300)

Executive assistant (304,678)

On the retail front

Amazon is a leader in the use of AI in the retail world. The company's Amazon Fresh grocery stores in Southern California are equipped with "Just Walk Out" technology that's based on AI, image recognition and sensors.

Customers who opt for Just Walk Out shopping can enter the store by scanning the in-store QR code in their Amazon app, using Amazon One, or by inserting a credit or debit card to open Just Walk Out gates.

Once inside, anything they take off the shelf is automatically added to a virtual cart, and anything a customer puts back comes out of it. When they're finished shopping they simply scan or insert their entry method again to exit the store.

The stores can be found in Westlake Village, Woodland Hills, Whittier, Mission Viejo, La Verne, Irvine, La Habra and Long Beach, among other locations.

The nationwide impact

On a broader scale, the NetVoucherCodes report predicts that more than 15.7 million U.S. jobs will use AI to boost productivity, although 19.4 million jobs will be replaced by the technology.

The report cites ChatGPT and Midjourney - which can create graphics, audio and video content based on simple text prompts - as examples of technologies that are rapidly gaining traction in the workplace.

"With driverless vehicles, self-service checkouts and gas stations now the norm, it's only a matter of time before the robots creep up everywhere," the report said. "Who needs a sales assistant when you could use a robot who never takes breaks or asks for a pay raise?"

The report doesn't give a timeline for when all of those jobs could be highjacked by technology, but the numbers indicate heavy employment losses are inevitable.

Andy Wilson, executive director of the Alliance for SoCal Innovation, acknowledged AI and automation have created disruption in the workplace.

"Technical progress always comes with dislocations," he said. "Think about the Industrial Age and what's happening in farming today. Today, many farms are using GPS-guided tractors that drive themselves. These kinds of technologies create production gains that ultimately benefit society."

Wilson said government and educational programs need to be in place to shift workers who are, or will soon be displaced, into jobs that are more secure and will likely pay better wages amid increasing technology.

"It's incumbent upon government and society to anticipate where the dislocations will be so they can figure out how to redeploy these people for the next generation of employment," he said.
