Im a cable lineman, ai isn’t going to install your fiber. It will take over all the middle management roles, so I might have 4 new bosses in the future all trying to micromanage me. Ai is coming for managements jobs, if all you do it push papers and tell confident lies kiss your job goodbye.
I’m not concerned it will take my job I’m concerned some idiot will give it my job despite not being able to do it.
What is the x-axis on this chart? Time?
“Not Found” error. From the link, I assume you’re deeplinking to a temporary/personal tokenized download.
Turns out telling an entire generation that AI will replace half their jobs, flood the internet with slop and make billionaires richer didn’t produce boundless techno optimism. Who could have predicted that? The AI industry may have a capability problem, but it definitely has a messaging problem.
48 percent of people are still that gullible?
I’m not even concerned about it replacing jobs, it has proven to be shit at replacing real intelligence, and making the LLM bigger is not a path to AGI. Also my job requires hands, which copilot doesn’t have, so maybe I’m biased.
But I’m concerned about AI being used to spread disinformation and control narratives in favour of the ruling class. I’m concerned about AI datacenters exacerbating climate change. I’m concerned about even further erosion of privacy and mass surveillance. I’m concerned about the inevitable economic crash that will come when they eventually accept that this mess has no path to profitability. I’m concerned about AI psychosis and the way chatbots can seriously mess up a vulnerable mind. I’m concerned about the effects AI will have on children who grow up using it. Probably a few other things too that I’m forgetting about right now.
They just gotta use it to know it won’t be taking jobs.
Seriously. Use it for something you consider yourself an expert at. Based on what happens, remember it’s like that for any topic. Yes, even the ones you know little about but it seems to. That’s the state of generative “AI”.
I generally agree, but they are damn good at programming and only getting better. Can they build a software solution without an expert? No. But they can replace many junior devs.
Young adults have to become experts at something to realize that - a prospect that AI makes harder every day.
Honestly, I hope AI continues to improve and does actually wipe out large swaths of the job market. Maybe then countries will finally have to come to terms with the idea that capitalism is absolute fucking shit and finally consider some sort of UBI or other way to move away from the existing garbage of a global economic system.
What I don’t look forward to is the significant months/years these fucks take to make those decisions, and the pain and suffering it will cause to billions of people. Why do these assholes always have to be dragged into the future kicking and screaming?
While taking the poll to see how folks feel several humanoid robots were beating people to death in the background.
Let me elieviate your fears. Human capital is listed as a liability, technology investment is CAPEX.
But so many prerequisites for effective AI implementations are relying on improving quality of inputs / training materials and that is an OPEX siphon.
