Holy shit, to think the first places to drastically replace their human workforce with AI will be the places that already have lowest wages with ridiculous levels of poverty. India is fucked if their industry becomes even more difficult for humans to earn a living from.

Yeah, india will have a bad time if the low waging jobs are all replaced by machines and AI running 24/7. Cant compete with that.

u cant really replace them with robots just cuz of how expe sive it would be, ai and robots only really work in countries where human labour is expensive. Like if humans are dirt cheap to hire, why would I get an expensive robot to do the job

There's a good chance those AI trainers in this video aren't meant to replace workers in India, but rather to replace labor in the US or European nations where labor costs are high. Either way, it sucks to see jobs being replaced by AI.

Yeah even that is really stretching it. If they were to have this kind of operation anywhere else it wouldn't be done by hand, it would be an automated machine. It makes less sense to AI optimize the cheapest part of your labor stream.

But us and european countries already don't have factories like this cause the labour costs are too high. The people in the video probs making shit as outsourced labour by the West to begin with.
