Speaker 1 (00:00):
Chuck Douglas in the Power Hour six ten WTV, and
I've got Alex Stone coming up from ABC News here
in just a couple of minutes. A warning coming from
a CEO regarding AI and an entry level white collar jobs.
And I don't think anybody was thinking about this when
they first started this stuff going. But Travis has been
holding on through the break. Let me get aim the
real quick, Travis, you're on six ten do wle UTVN.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hey, Chuck good eating?

Speaker 1 (00:20):
How are you fine? Sir? Are you?

Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'm good? So I have a question for you, so
on your last segment in regard to that, why can't
it be published from the judges and what sentences they
give so people know.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Well, it's a matter of public record. You can go
down and actually see. And the judge who the judge
who let this dirt ball out is all over social
media right now. Picture and I'm pretty sure she was
elected as one of those vote brown all the way
down judges if I'm not mistaken. When the Democrats pretty
much swept everything in Franklin County, well.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
I get that, I get that, but I guess if
it was it's somebody out out there was to publish
it and to show it people more likely to People
don't want to do work, and if you were, if
there were someone that was publishing it or showing it
or giving it out, I think it would make a
much bigger difference, and I think people would want to
hold them accountable, especially when it comes time for the election.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
That's an old school point of view, and Travis, I
love old school. You might be onto something. Let me
think about that. Maybe we can get somebody whose job
it is specifically to watch the decisions that come out
and with the access to the social media and so forth,
the podcasting, all the stuff, maybe that's something we could do.
Let's just start blatantly, repeatedly calling them out every time

(01:40):
they do something like that. All right, speaking of blatant
and repeated news about artificial intelligence is in the news
every day. I have been playing recently with a couple
of the platforms. You know, everybody's in the chat GPT,
so I've been trying to see what it does. And
I'm an old dog trying to learn some new tricks.
But one of the things I see already is there
are so many things events people in my life that

(02:04):
I could seriously just replace with this phone app. And
this is only going to grow in scale as use
of AI grows and those components which create the artificial
intelligence platforms continue to become more more what's the word
I'm looking for, more viable. More information is being pumped
into them because they are much like the Internet. They're

(02:27):
grabbing information from everywhere in order to create what they create.
That could mean the loss of some jobs. Alex Stone
from ABC News standing by right now. Alex has the
full depressing report. Especially if you're probably like a high
school freshman right now, think about what you want to
do with your life.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
That's right, Hey, hik get so. I mean, as you
mentioned that, it's everywhere now and pretty simply it can
put together. Videos will look very very real. You know,
everybody thinks of AI videos as where you have like
eight fingers on one hand and the faces behind somebody
are all gobblygook. That's not how it is now. It's
already come a long way in the last couple of
years that it's kind of got that stereotype behind it,

(03:06):
but they've already improved that photos. The same thing for
medical research. Now AI can crunch data and look at
scans and in ways that humans and radiologists would never
be able to detect things in those scans. So there's
a lot of good that can come of it. But
today there is a CEO from an AI company they
build an AI model called Claude four, and he's issuing

(03:28):
a pretty blunt warning. He says fifty percent of all
entry level white collar jobs could be wiped out by
AI within five years, and that it could drive up
the unemployment rate from where it is now I think
four point six percent something like that, up to twenty
percent in five years because AI is going to become
so pervasive. And Molly Kinder is an analyst with the

(03:51):
Brookings Metro. She says, yeah, this is very real.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
These new generative AI technologies pose a real risk to
early career nolledge.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Jobs, and the CEO is warning axios. He says jobs
in law, in marketing, in tech, and in finance are
going to be most at risk by this. And you
could argue news reporters as well, in fact, that the
Arizona Supreme Court is now using AI avatars to crunch
what is going on in Supreme Court hearings in the
Arizona Supreme Court. And then report out a summary for

(04:23):
viewers online of what went on in those hearings. This
is one of those reports done by an AI reporter
in the court.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
I'm Victoria, one of the Arizona Supreme Court's new AI reporters.
If you're wondering why the court decided to use an
AI generated spokesperson like me to share its news, the
answer is simple. By providing timely updates directly from the court,
we help ensure you have accurate information about important legal
decisions affecting Arizonas.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
They don't need a human sitting in there regurgitating what
goes on. They can just read the transcripts and the
notes from the court reporter and then put that together.
So young college educated workers in their first job are
expected to to be hit the most by this before
they have seniority or experience. Some major companies Chuck already
making cotts. Walmart getting rid of fifteen hundred corporate jobs

(05:09):
is part of a technology lettery structuring Microsoft laying off
six thousand employees, saying it's aligning for the AI era,
So it is beginning in that way and the experts
so you can protect your job by doubling down on
what AI can't do making human to human connections, doing
things that are in person and kinderson.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
If you can do your job locked in a closet
with a computer, those are the things that are more
worrying for AI. Things that have to be in person
and really with people tend.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
To be safer.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
So that's the problem is I am literally locked in
a closet right now with a computer talking to you.
And those are the jobs that she says are going
to go away first. But you know, she says, master
craft and be somebody that your company can't get rid of.
But fifty percent of all entry level white collar jobs
could be gone.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
And the idea of you know, the court using it people.
I catch myself doing this because I will hear commercials
right now and say, ah, that's AI. That's not even
real guy. The trouble is my standards are not the
standards of the industry. All they want to be is understood.
It doesn't have to the court's not going well, the
inflection isn't quite human there. They don't care as long

(06:18):
as what they are typing in and is being regurgitated
by the software is understood. That's all they care about. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Well, and it's getting better and better. I mean already
what you heard there was ten times better than a
couple of years ago. Thinking another two or three years
and another ten years, because already there's a lot of
AI where you know, I have to sit there.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
And go, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
That might be like ads on YouTube. We're like, that
might be real and that might not be.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
It's getting better and better and quite quickly. And you
can see that in videos where they used to be
all funky and now there are a lot of videos
that look very very real.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Blazer and I were just talking about this a few
weeks ago, You and I and him, we need to
figure out a way to AI ore and come up
with an NIL, because you know, there are those personalities
out there. You are very good on camera, you're good
on the radio. You could be making a living for
three hundred years, Alex.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Seriously, I thank you, or making no money over three
hundred years because AI does it and the money doesn't
come back to it.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Billy Mays is selling stuff on the late night TV
thirty years after he said it could happen. I appreciate
the info, buddy, thanks very much, and having got it
for California Evening. Thanks Jauq. Weird about the six forty
six right now. And I know I had a couple
of people message me in the first half hour of
the show, just telling me, Wow, you're you're really fired up,
And yeah, I am. I am, and I hope I

(07:38):
didn't scare anybody. I try not to, but yeah, I'm
a passionate guy, I really am. And when something matters
to me, you're you'll know it matters. I do not
come in here and uh and I won't say ever
put on fake emotions because sometimes, quite frankly, I come

(07:59):
in here and I I laugh, and I have a
good time and I bring you through the hour and
I'm miserable because I'm a human being and sometimes we
all are. We have bad days, bad moments, bad events.
But as Zach has heard me many times say, I'm
going in the room now where everything makes sense. And

(08:20):
it does. But while I may sometimes put a smiley
face on in order to do the show and not
frighten the children and scare the pets out of the room,
You're never going to hear me come in here and
act like I'm mad about something I'm not mad about
or I'm concerned about. I won't feign that what I

(08:43):
said is exactly what I meant. And while I live
here in Central Ohio and that's that is primarily on
my mind, this is just a societal problem overall in
this country now. The bad guys are getting away with
far too much than good guys are outnumbered, outgunn out represented.

(09:05):
The court system that should be backing up our law
enforcement is instead backing up the bad guys. The neighbors
on the street who should be going, yeah, we've got
to do something about this, are running go fundmes for
the people that are killing police officers. Something's wrong with us.
And sometimes I feel the need to say that very loudly,

(09:29):
and today was one of those days. And there will
be future days when I will also be loud, but
more often than not, I will try to give you
the controlled, reasonable presentation that you come to expect, just
because I paid for the subscription and I might as
well use it.
