00:00How do you feel about AI taking over jobs?
00:07Service checkers are annoying because I think you have to call someone over anyway so don't
00:11really see the point unless you're getting like one item and the AI thing is sort of
00:18intimidating but I feel like it's inevitable but we just have to work with it. I think
00:22we try and work in harmony with it.
00:24I think it's terrible because low skilled jobs are just going to get more and more cut
00:31out which is obviously terrible for people.
00:35Pretty terrified if I'm being honest especially being a third year uni student trying to come
00:39out into the world of work seeing how AI is taking over the industry is a little bit scary.
00:44I like the new robot system in Sainsbury's I think it's quite efficient but I think for
00:48the older generation having that face to face contact is quite nice.
00:51Yeah not great, not great. I wouldn't enjoy it. So yeah it's not ideal.
