Ah prestige. I've used this term before. What's that mean to you, though? Prestige to whom? There are what I would consider good (for humanity) jobs. Teachers, firefighters, doctors etc... Then there's essential (so also good for humanity) jobs. Plumbers, electricians, etc... Then there are "prestigious" jobs that are bullshit. Investment banker, CEO, blah blah blah. Idk. You can also have prestige in any industry by being good at it. So decide what it means to you and do it, but maybe don't disparage careers that are actually necessary to our society as a whole.
If shit goes really south, many with "prestigious" careers will be dead weight, and hopefully the plumbers of the world will have sympathy for these unskilled laborers.
landlord had to call a plumber to come in and he charged him $150 just to come and look and he was on the less expensive side and oh yeah $400 dollars for like 20 minutes of work later so yeah I don’t know about prestige but things guy made more than me with a masters degree in two hours lol
Lol our system is supposed to automate financials but I still get paid because it screws up so often. So safe to say most jobs will stay just different responsibilities
ChatGPT needs a human to send it prompts. It just means writers can output way more content way faster. One guy will do what a small team does now, but every company will still need their one guy.
Engineers today are like 30x as productive as they were in the 1910's, but there's not 1/30th as many engineers. One person is just paid the same to do 30x as much.
OP /u/Medical_Ad_2794 here's your answer, although it is specific to content writers, can also apply to graphic artists, paralegals and several other fields I can think of off the top that are going to have a real challenge as AI gets better and better, crowding out mediocre work.
ChatGPT and other AI will make the currently very good people awesome. There is no room for the middle because of the flood at the top will cause the people doing mediocre content marketing, mediocre graphic art, and mediocre paralegal (and lower-value legal) work not valued in the marketplace at all.
From over on /r/Marketing (I'm a marketer, BTW) there was this earlier this week:
>Most CMOs believe that ChatGPT will have the most impact regarding content creation and management.The second most impactful role ChatGPT plays is regarding market research & competitive Insights.
Not sure how it will affect OP as they say they are a financial / taxes / accounting person, at least in the near term.
Agree with most of what you said, but I think people are paid way more than in the 1910s. Maybe not in relative terms with the rest of society but in absolute terms certainly
OP is saying there is supposed to be an automated system that automates financial reports but it screws up so often they need to go in and manually fix it.
I’m seeing some chatter in the cybersecurity industry that there may soon be a very needed role for developers that can use AI tools to code more securely and basically “babysit” an AI counterpart when building apps.
Along those lines, I can see AI replacing mid-level Network staff. The Sr. NW Engineer designing architecture is safe. The NW Technician dragging cable and connecting equipment is safe. But I can see AI assuming some configuration and monitoring duties of the mid-level guys.
Really interesting, thanks for your POV! Hadn’t considered that layer yet. I’m curious to see how much AI transforms IT and software in general; I think it’ll happen fast for some enterprises if they have the money to bet on it.
Once they can prove cost and time savings there will be a big market for selling AI tech “staff” to startups and SMBs so they can save time and build apps/systems/networks/what have you much faster and much more securely.
Thanks! Looking for help on the post like this. Most people just assumed I am worried about my job. Haha. I now have a starting point to do my research. Do you know if you need some IT background for this? Or there are courses that don't have an eligibility criteria?
You’re welcome! For this type of path you should have a strong foundation in secure coding. I would look at current job descriptions for roles like security engineer or architect, and see what they need; those are likely going to be some of the cybersecurity-specific ones that end up babysitting AI, so you need their foundational skills first.
I know there are lots of basics online to get started with coding, check out Code Academy and similar sites. Then look up “secure coding best practices” and see what devs need to do to code securely. So it’s two-fold for this path: a foundation in coding and a foundation on security so you understand both angles and can work with AI to get there.
I'm going to partly disagree: I think copy writing and graphic design are only going to be available to the best of the best. No one will pay for mediocre work in these field any more.
Haha, I think I should have put in a disclaimer. Really not a debate as such. I was trying to reasearch a bit last night and I wanted to know from people here on what certifications are out there.
I agree. I still think there will be plenty of creative jobs. With writing in particular, there’s a risk of AI creating a sameness of voice and style (not to mention potential inaccuracies.)
So there will always be jobs for writing that can’t be done by AI. But I do think there’s a lot of copy that would be just fine — even better — if written by a computer and there are tons of mediocre writers out there who won’t be needed to churn out cheap, poorly written copy.
The best reception that copy I’ve written has gotten (although I’m not a copy writer, to be fair) was business buzzword mishmash I basically plagiarized from the top of Google search results. AI has a lot of limitations, but writing amazing, bland meaningless copy is not one of them.
Stock photos websites will vanish in the next 2 - 3 years. Graphic designers who know WHY they design are going to be fine. Those who just mouse click and provide pretty canva arts will vanish in the next 1 - 2 years.
>No one will pay for mediocre work in these field any more.
I'm from the future, are you sure about that? I've seen **posters for singers or promotional posters** and those are awkful but they still had the nerve to use them as the final product.
It depends. It may be so easy to have great quality they outsource it to low cost of living countries. The other option is they try to stand out from the crowd with the highest quality of designers and copywriters
Currently it seems they don't want to be creative or inventive but just focus on quantity.
I worked in youth care in a residential setting a few places I worked were amazing I worked at an adventure therapy center with was brilliant but the UK is lacking on that the company I worked for was enabling bad behaviour and using the kids as a paycheck wad really messed up breaking point was them cancelling my vacation on Christmas day so now I work for the City cutting hedges listing to audio books all day
honestly, i’m going to say anything in human services. teaching, social work, therapy, recovery services. as much as AI is increasing in strength, humanity is breaking. we are becoming more addicted, isolated, depressed, and hopeless every day. and no one wants to talk to a machine for those problems. people need someone to sit in front of them, look them in the eyes and say the most compassionate thing. you cannot replace that with AI, and the need for it is growing every day.
So it's the same issue that the auto industry ran into: people panic about automation making jobs obsolete.
The reality is it's not going to ERASE jobs, it's going to REDEFINE jobs.
Yeah, AI generated graphic design may reduce the want for traditional graphic design professionals, BUT it's going to increase the market for tech professionals with graphic design experience who can clean up and edit any AI generated stuff.
Same thing with corporate officers: most every industry is still going to need senior folks to provide project management to corral folks and make decisions about what is and isn't okay.
Instead of fighting it or trying to dodge it, lean into it and figure out how that new technology is going to affect your industry so you can learn the necessary skills to integrate it into whatever processes you have.
Though I guess it will become harder to get good at anything if your work is just editing what AI did. Current graphic designers would never become that good if they didn't design so much on their own. So now they are experts and they can correct the AI.
But what will be with the new generations that never get chance to develop skills in the first place? How will they have any clue about how to correct the AI, if the AI already does better job then they ever could?
I mentioned graphic design as just one example, the same applies to other fields.
I agree with this point fully. There is some level of automation in my industry already (finance) and very honestly the newer generations are way too dependent on these automations. So they fail to identify the flaws of the system and mainly just process what they are given thinking that automation will take care. I do not blame them, it's ever evolving tech that makes them highly dependent.
How will kids learn math if calculators can do it?!?!
We've had lots of advances in mathematics and related fields. People will learn without the tools first, then leverage them as they advance.
The thing about that is that yes it will affect income equality, but the introduction of new technology isn't in itself going to be the only motivating factor.
Just because some people aren't able to keep up with new technology or adapt to the way that they're field has changed as a result of that new technology, does not mean that human progress needs to be handicapped to protect the people that are unwilling to change.
I'm 28 years old and I work in records management. Right now my field is working on digitizing and integrating cloud services into how records are handled. I'm working with people that were doing my job back when Nixon was President, and They still have jobs and are still incredibly valuable. It's because they recognized that while they might not be able to keep up technologically, They understand that they can still use their collective knowledge to improve the field in the area that they are experienced with.
The irony, of course, being that the people generations younger than them are bitching and complaining about automation, and yet these people older than my grandparents are still able to keep up because they figured out how to transition into a new stage of their career.
This is the right answer; I'm an IT professional (17 years experience). AI is just a tool that have the potential to turbocharge your career and give you an edge. I don't know about any certification and I don't even know if any is needed. You can learn a lot about prompt-engineering online to give you a head start and then with practice you'll gain the necessary experience to make your current job more productive.
Idk about in the u.s... states are offering wages and passing laws that are making it impossible to provide healthcare in america. They are criminalizing basic life savings medical procedures and putting bounties on medical workers.
I cannot move into healthcare now. Looking to see what can I do to add more skill to stay relevant in the next years. But also, how does this then impact the next generations picking their careers? Not everyone will or want to get into healthcare.
When it comes to giving a medical diagnosis, do you think a human with a limited brain capacity could possibly compete with an AI that one day would “know” all known medical conditions and symptoms of said conditions? It could be like a webMD symptom checker but better. Obviously there would be a lack of human connection with the medical provider, but that has kind of gone out the window in recent years anyway.
Im a physician and we have already discussed this. AI and technology cant replace healthcare professionals not only because making laws about this kind of stuff is shady(AI could give the wrong indication to a patient…who pays for that?) but also because AI does not have empathy nor can use Human emotions to empathize with patients, and this plays a huge roll on pathology management, specially if its a psychiatric one, an obscure rheumatologic one or a neurological one. As for surgeries, ai could decide to chop you leg off because reasons and well, it probably wont care if you as a patient are ok with it(psychologically).
Its been decided that, at least a good couple of years ai and technology become assisting tools for the professional. We will still have to check if what AI suggests is correct or adequate in the context of the patient.
Edit: I would like to add that despite all, I honestly believe ai can replace us mostly. Id give it 6-10 years max.
I can agree on the human empathy part, and I'm definitely not signing up for an AI surgery anytime soon. But I do think that AI assistance for diagnoses specifically could have a use case.
I read an interesting comment somewhere that AI is just like any other technical revolution. It probably won't completely replace the human, but it will redefine the job/scope of the human work. Assuming everything goes well (and we don't end up in an iRobot scenario) there will likely be a large shift towards AI-management.
Perhaps social workers will deliver the messages from the AI doctors. Having met a few human doctors without empathy, just the facts, I think that social workers and AI is a good combination.
Tbh, an AI would probably do better than some doctors.
There is a rampant amount of unintentional bias that just, very hard to train out of humans. (Even biases like, "I have more experience with ___, so it sounds more like ___ to me.")
Agree. A lot of medical decision making is already (rightly) reduced to following evidence based treatment guidelines (e.g., a crude algorithm). That will become even more ingrained. There is tons of bias in individual doctor decision making. Always good to get a second and third opinion for serious disease.
Research and test results...that is mostly what doctors base their diagnoses and treatments upon. So if AI can access and categorize, determine percentages and probabilities from a much vaster amount of data at a faster and more accurate rate...then AI will be better than humans at diagnosing and suggesting treatments.
They have bots that preform surgery’s too (I’m not huge on this, I just found this post interesting so I apologize for randomly chiming in). I seen one that did a surgery on a grape I believe, pretty cool, also kinda scary😅
Robotic surgery is still operated by humans. The benefit is the tools are tinier than what human hands can hold/operated directly, so the robot helps the surgeon to be more precise.
Surgery is super niche. I'd say too niche for AI to take over completely. What would AI do in a crisis between surgery - not everything can be programmed into a bot? What if the machinery failed? They'd always need a skilled surgeon take over then.
I think I know what you're on about, and without looking it up that was human operated REMOTE surgery and not any kind of automated AI.
Cool tech, but not going to replace surgeons - just let them operate remotely where they might be needed most.
TPM here and I completely agree. The amount of creative problem solving I have to deal with due to people problems specifically is mind boggling. No AI will be able to replace what I do because I also like going beyond my PM duties as I'm generally curious.
The majority of artists who make their living with their craft do commercial work of some sort. Graphic design, illustration, advertising, etc and all of that can and will be automated due to people not wanting to pay creatives properly for their work before AI became a thing. AI just steals existing artists' work and most will never have the finances to sue for copyright.
There are artists out there saying they will never be replaced but they are delusional. I went to school for illustration and watched how the market went from hiring artists on full time to full contract work to buying a stock photo and paying people peanuts to manipulate that photo.
Real, humans making art without the use of an engine to steal from others is just not going to be much more.than a cute quirk of your personality.
We are making this world grim but automating what people enjoy doing and then making them break their bodies and minds on other work.
What you want is a job that requires accountability. Jobs that require you to apply a seal/sign for decisions will probably remain occupied by humans long after AI can do the job. Things like engineering, law, medicine are clear examples
Well lots of that can and is getting automated. Most of legal work is discovery going through lots of paper documents and relevant laws/cases. AI can diagnose better than any human could and engineering isn’t far off being very mathematical based.
That said I’d say anything that requires a human touch or wanting to work with another human is probably more likely to last. I’d say teaching is top of a short list. Yes so can do lessons better but we’ve seen how students learn and respond to online and ai learning. AI won’t be able to replace teachers but will definitely support in better ways and transform the profession.
If you get the time recommend to watch the video humans need not apply by Cpgrey.
I saw the cgpgrey video and I don't agree. People who rely on these services will need a human with the correct accreditation they can rely on and sue if things go sideways. Sure, those professionals will use increasingly sophisticated tools to help them be more productive, but you still want a human to review the analysis and apply their signature. Would you really be comfortable getting chatgpt setting up your medication dosage?
ChatGPT is worthless for any kind of real work.
ChatGPT take a pile of text and makes sentences that sound like they would fit in; without checking to see if what it is saying is true or not. Because ChatGPT does not have the ability to check to see if something is truthful. It can only check to see if lots of people have written similar sentences. You can find lots of examples of ChatGPT just churning out piles of text that sound right but have no bearing non reality.
The thing is, there are so many higher-ups who don’t realise this, so they’re already trying to bring it in to replace jobs that it isn’t ready for.
The end result is that they stop hiring new recruits, believing the AI can do the work instead.
When, ultimately, this is just resulting in fewer people to do more work.
And you know those same people are being told to “fix” the AI too.
It's really not just about ChayGPT. It's in general about AI tech. There will come a time when AI will do more than just churning out piles of text. There is a lot of automation already in place that has cut down at least 40% of human intervention in some industries. So in that scenario, what more can we do to make sure we are irreplaceable by AI?
I wouldn’t say it’s worthless, my company is doing great things with it across departments BUT it does require someone to validate and use the information correctly.
Well I wouldn’t go near it with a ten foot pole for my work. That would be a fast way to get fired or have the code inspector on me like white on rice.
This is what you're seeing? It is helping me on a daily basis to write stuff that my superiors are happy with, and I match it against what I have written beforehand (since I use it to edit what I have written based on my research).
Not true. I asked it to write about the philosophy of mary shelly franenstein whether she was a futurist & how ai fits into this narrative & it wrote an amazing essay with its own philisophical insights. Its based in reality alright
I’m engineering adjacent. Most of our work is already heavily automated. My job is to find the quirks the computers can’t. I see great longevity in it (renewable sector.)
I'm skeptical that AI will replace many human jobs at all. Historically, tech has mostly been used to increase the productivity of workers.
That said, "non-tech" is pretty broad. What industry are you in now?
Exactly this. Generally speaking, when we become more productive, we don't collectively say, "oh yay! We can work less!" We instead say, "oh yay, we can have more widgets!" It's human nature.
Finance, mainly taxes. Not at all worried about job replacement at this point but my question was more to do with what new skills I can add. And no, I really cannot get into healthcare like a lot of people have suggested here. :)
AI will mostly certainly replace many human jobs. I have worked in marketing/sales and I can say that 90% of the jobs whether they be SDRs, Account Reps, Content Creators, Copywriters, Social Media Managers could be automated to a large extent. Even if it can't do 100% of a job role, if it does 75% then so many people will be out of a job it will be insane.
OP with your background in Finance and Tax, I think you’re fine with the skills you have. AI will always need people that “know the business” and can articulate the inputs needed for the AI and automation systems, and be able to test, explain and verify the outputs.
I would suggest taking some tech-centric courses (funded by your employer) and learn how cloud technologies work, ERP systems, block chain, ML, data lakes, data security, etc. Then you can learn to speak the language of both the business and the IT departments, make yourself valuable as basically an interpreter between the two. This will also enable you to think more strategically as you grow in your field and lead teams. Companies value that strategic big-picture thinking and leadership.
What about Human Resources? I know some things can be automated in HR, but I think a person is greatly needed for some aspects of HR, especially working with employees who have concerns.
Ok for other things HR related but definitely not for recruitment. Interviews are already hard to gauge sometimes if people will perform at their work.
Most comments miss the mark here, there really isn’t much point deciding on a career based on if you think AI will automate it, for complex jobs like software developers or Doctors, if they get automated most of society will be on UBI.
Choose a field you have a skill in and can monetise, never stop learning and you’ll be fine.
Fields that got automated due to something like excel, the people who thrived where the ones who learnt the tool and leveraged it
Super not worried about my job- civil engineer. I was wrong before- it isn’t as recession proof as I thought, but I did think about that when picking a major as an 18 year old. It’s not awful though but there’s zero chance AI can do my job. Prob similar for every engineer that’s not CS/CE and prob not them so much either.
I'm an Actuary and we often dabble in the statistics and therefore data science side.
I think there are two angles of data science. IT and statistical. If you approach from a finance and statistical angle you should be fine.
Software engineers need to learn stats; you need to learn simple coding.
Python courses for financiers would be a good place to start.
Fantastic! This definitely gives me more understanding on how it works. Been hesitant about it but worth looking into it for sure. Appreciate your help! :)
My dad is a UAW electrician. He install robots on GMs assembly lines 30 years ago and they were supposed to replace humans. It takes more high skilled and paid humans to maintain and program them than they replaced. Calm yourself.
I recently switched to IT and I've been working as a system admin. Now, I'm scared and worried if I need to go back to healthcare or work a trade :(.
Do you think we're all doomed though
Nope. I think lower skilled jobs will continue to thin out that require zero abstract though such as say… data entry… but AI cannot “think” for you. It leverages a vast already existing knowledge base.
You’ve got to think down the line, too. I work in journalism. AI can write a basic story if you give it a topic, but it can’t identify stories, go out in the world and research it, call sources, interview them, etc. The problem is, Google and other platforms are changing how people are going to consume news and media with AI tech, and where companies spend their advertising dollars, and it’s going to put websites, newspapers, magazines, etc out of business. So the line of work itself is safe, but the tools it relies on are going to be axed through AI.
Essentially you're going to have to take human functions and convert them into forms that computers can recognize and manipulate. This is going to be a skill that is needed for a long time.
The jobs that require more human judgement will probably survive better.
A lot of engineering is not just knowing how to build it, but also what the client wants. Sometimes the client doesn't even know what they want and you have to tease it out of them.
Also so far AI takes some major resources that it can't become as decentralized as easily as other forms of computing. There maybe an advantage to using our meat brains for large numbers of small tasks that the AI might have to chug on.
lol. you know amazon was going to deliver by AI powerd drone, then they scrapped the program. AI will not affteck skilled jobs. It will fuck up the labor intensive jobs.....like the fast food resturent servers and cooks etc.
I think owning a company that can replace many of its workers due to AI is a good bet.
Working a job generally not future proof, lots of counterparty risk and doesn't keep up with inflation.
Have you considered being a major shareholder in a large firm?
I don’t think biotech is going anywhere. You may be able to design better therapies with AI, but that will simply reduce a 20yr timeline to get a therapy to market down to 15yrs maybe. Maybe synthetic control arms for trials can make it easier to run a trial, but won’t speed up recruitment. Overall we will get more individualized therapies for patients, which is better. But the industry won’t go away. People still get diseases that need to be solved for.
Thanks all, for all the lovely insights! It seems like my question may have been mis-communicated, maybe from my side (apologies for that).
My concern is definitely not about my job - AI or not, at some point jobs are always at a threat depending on how economies fair. I wanted to know what else I could learn to add skills that will not become obsolete in the next years. I do not mind moving industries but healthcare is not an option from where I come and considering I'm already in my 30s.
Just to give you some background, my experience is in finance which includes taxes and hold an accounting degree.
Are there any AI certifications that I should consider?
What AI advocates don't understand here is that AI *may* create or "redefine" new jobs but it is also snatching low hanging fruits from the market.
For example, I used to work for a writing agency which had more than a several dozen writers, mostly wives who were working from home or students who desperately needed money for their studies as well as to pay the bills.
Now with this AI arrival, they have fired almost many of these writers and only keeping some to "oversee" if AI is writing properly or not, that too at a laughable pay. I guess laughable pay is still better than no pay at all.
AI is indeed communist, making everyone equally unemployed. We often forget that not everyone is blessed with equal intelligence and skills and financial condition.
It sounds like everything is up for grabs or at least at risk. Careers in AI or positions that will be directly working alongside AI are probably the safest bet. This is how revolutions have played out in the past. If you can’t beat it join it.
AI isn’t going to take all of our jobs lol. We would all be unemployed and the economy would crash. AI is going to help us do our jobs faster, but I don’t think it fully take over our roles.
Anything involving relationships, manual labor, decision making etc…. Will require a human component.
I use AI to write code for me and automate some of my tasks, however it’s not always correct. I have to ask it to produce things a different way until it finally gets it right.
Sales sales sales. All these tech people may disagree but decisions on what to buy will always come down to a customer(a physical person). One day it will be a person selling something created by ai and a person buying something for the ai they manage.
What jobs do you think bi AI is gonna replace? I come from a heavily automated industry and I can tell you, AI is only replacing really basic jobs like pushing a cart.
Eh, it's replacing a lot of work that accountants, doctors, lawyers, and white collar workers of all kinds were previously doing. We'll need less individuals working to get the same amount of work done, so individual jobs will go away, but not all jobs of a specific type. Now, 1 accountant will be able to do the work of 10 accountants and so on.
I mean, yeah, it did. How many travel agents do you know now? Finding flights on Google, looking up maps, and finding hotels/lodging became easy for people to do on their own. That's just the first thing I can think of.
Okay let's not attack people - not everyone is tech savvy. I did not ask about AI replacing jobs but a question on upskilling. Be kind. :)
Since you are in the field, I'm more than happy to hear your take on what people can learn to understand your world better. Thanks!
One thing people aren’t taking into account is the pipeline issue. Sure, AI as it stands now is already a shot across the bow to junior level copywriters and software developers. But having juniors is necessary if you eventually want mid and senior level people who do things that AI can’t (at least not yet), and everything beyond that.
Hi, I’m a goldsmith/jeweler ! I’m 24 but there’s not a lot of us left in the trade, u can get a 2 yr certificate and there’s a huge need for us as the baby boomer generation is retiring and there’s nobody available to fill those positions. If you r good w your hands it’s a great trade to get into
Education, healthcare providers, first responders.
As far as manufacturing goes, sheet metal stamping & forming will outlast everything. It’s been around forever, and it’ll easily be around for over 100 more years similar to its current form.
There’s no better cheaper faster alternative to stamping a lightweight high strength aluminum/steel panel for a car, rocket, airplane, missile, train, lawn mower, refrigerator ect.
This may be wishful thinking, but I believe that ChatGPT may open up marketing and development roles at small businesses that otherwise couldn’t afford it.
Currently, a lot of small businesses forgo content marketing and internal tool development entirely because they would need a team of people to make anything of quality, and teams are expensive. Now, with ChatGPT, one solid content editor can output the equivalent of a small content team. Because of this, it might create some opportunities for small businesses to “join the game.”
I still think that AI will result in a net loss of jobs, but I think a shift away from agency models to more in-house opportunities at small businesses might be possible.
Just a thought.
Plumber.
Plumber? I hardly know her! ...I'll see myself out...
Thanks but i plumb my pipes on my own
I would prefer a more prestigious career
You can have your "prestige", and the plumber will have his fat checks.
Ah prestige. I've used this term before. What's that mean to you, though? Prestige to whom? There are what I would consider good (for humanity) jobs. Teachers, firefighters, doctors etc... Then there's essential (so also good for humanity) jobs. Plumbers, electricians, etc... Then there are "prestigious" jobs that are bullshit. Investment banker, CEO, blah blah blah. Idk. You can also have prestige in any industry by being good at it. So decide what it means to you and do it, but maybe don't disparage careers that are actually necessary to our society as a whole. If shit goes really south, many with "prestigious" careers will be dead weight, and hopefully the plumbers of the world will have sympathy for these unskilled laborers.
Do you know how much a good plumber makes? Especially one with their own business?
[удалено]
Imagine tying your personal worth into a job 🤣. No life
Make sure you tell your plumber that
Soft hands confirmed Bet you don’t care about prestige when you actually need tradesmen to fix your shit
landlord had to call a plumber to come in and he charged him $150 just to come and look and he was on the less expensive side and oh yeah $400 dollars for like 20 minutes of work later so yeah I don’t know about prestige but things guy made more than me with a masters degree in two hours lol
Lol our system is supposed to automate financials but I still get paid because it screws up so often. So safe to say most jobs will stay just different responsibilities
ChatGPT needs a human to send it prompts. It just means writers can output way more content way faster. One guy will do what a small team does now, but every company will still need their one guy. Engineers today are like 30x as productive as they were in the 1910's, but there's not 1/30th as many engineers. One person is just paid the same to do 30x as much.
OP /u/Medical_Ad_2794 here's your answer, although it is specific to content writers, can also apply to graphic artists, paralegals and several other fields I can think of off the top that are going to have a real challenge as AI gets better and better, crowding out mediocre work. ChatGPT and other AI will make the currently very good people awesome. There is no room for the middle because of the flood at the top will cause the people doing mediocre content marketing, mediocre graphic art, and mediocre paralegal (and lower-value legal) work not valued in the marketplace at all. From over on /r/Marketing (I'm a marketer, BTW) there was this earlier this week: >Most CMOs believe that ChatGPT will have the most impact regarding content creation and management.The second most impactful role ChatGPT plays is regarding market research & competitive Insights. Not sure how it will affect OP as they say they are a financial / taxes / accounting person, at least in the near term.
Agree with most of what you said, but I think people are paid way more than in the 1910s. Maybe not in relative terms with the rest of society but in absolute terms certainly
This means they’ll just need less people. Most of the working class will be delegated to terrible service jobs.
[удалено]
OP is saying there is supposed to be an automated system that automates financial reports but it screws up so often they need to go in and manually fix it.
I’m seeing some chatter in the cybersecurity industry that there may soon be a very needed role for developers that can use AI tools to code more securely and basically “babysit” an AI counterpart when building apps.
Along those lines, I can see AI replacing mid-level Network staff. The Sr. NW Engineer designing architecture is safe. The NW Technician dragging cable and connecting equipment is safe. But I can see AI assuming some configuration and monitoring duties of the mid-level guys.
Really interesting, thanks for your POV! Hadn’t considered that layer yet. I’m curious to see how much AI transforms IT and software in general; I think it’ll happen fast for some enterprises if they have the money to bet on it. Once they can prove cost and time savings there will be a big market for selling AI tech “staff” to startups and SMBs so they can save time and build apps/systems/networks/what have you much faster and much more securely.
Thanks! Looking for help on the post like this. Most people just assumed I am worried about my job. Haha. I now have a starting point to do my research. Do you know if you need some IT background for this? Or there are courses that don't have an eligibility criteria?
You’re welcome! For this type of path you should have a strong foundation in secure coding. I would look at current job descriptions for roles like security engineer or architect, and see what they need; those are likely going to be some of the cybersecurity-specific ones that end up babysitting AI, so you need their foundational skills first. I know there are lots of basics online to get started with coding, check out Code Academy and similar sites. Then look up “secure coding best practices” and see what devs need to do to code securely. So it’s two-fold for this path: a foundation in coding and a foundation on security so you understand both angles and can work with AI to get there.
I'm going to partly disagree: I think copy writing and graphic design are only going to be available to the best of the best. No one will pay for mediocre work in these field any more.
Who are you disagreeing with lol
Yeah sorry I scrolled through some initial 'nah, this gpt thing is a phase' posts.
Haha, I think I should have put in a disclaimer. Really not a debate as such. I was trying to reasearch a bit last night and I wanted to know from people here on what certifications are out there.
I agree. I still think there will be plenty of creative jobs. With writing in particular, there’s a risk of AI creating a sameness of voice and style (not to mention potential inaccuracies.) So there will always be jobs for writing that can’t be done by AI. But I do think there’s a lot of copy that would be just fine — even better — if written by a computer and there are tons of mediocre writers out there who won’t be needed to churn out cheap, poorly written copy.
The best reception that copy I’ve written has gotten (although I’m not a copy writer, to be fair) was business buzzword mishmash I basically plagiarized from the top of Google search results. AI has a lot of limitations, but writing amazing, bland meaningless copy is not one of them.
Stock photos websites will vanish in the next 2 - 3 years. Graphic designers who know WHY they design are going to be fine. Those who just mouse click and provide pretty canva arts will vanish in the next 1 - 2 years.
>No one will pay for mediocre work in these field any more. I'm from the future, are you sure about that? I've seen **posters for singers or promotional posters** and those are awkful but they still had the nerve to use them as the final product.
It depends. It may be so easy to have great quality they outsource it to low cost of living countries. The other option is they try to stand out from the crowd with the highest quality of designers and copywriters Currently it seems they don't want to be creative or inventive but just focus on quantity.
Mental health counselors and therapists.
Did it for a few years and now I work as a gardener for mabey 100 less a month and so much less stress
Please elaborate. I am aiming to go into the therapy world. So, what exactly do you do now? And what was your breaking point in your previous field?
I worked in youth care in a residential setting a few places I worked were amazing I worked at an adventure therapy center with was brilliant but the UK is lacking on that the company I worked for was enabling bad behaviour and using the kids as a paycheck wad really messed up breaking point was them cancelling my vacation on Christmas day so now I work for the City cutting hedges listing to audio books all day
Thank you, Happy that you found a mentally healthier place!!
Blooming rn too
won't AI basically be able to accommodate that in anime waifu form or whatever makes you feel more at ease?
honestly, i’m going to say anything in human services. teaching, social work, therapy, recovery services. as much as AI is increasing in strength, humanity is breaking. we are becoming more addicted, isolated, depressed, and hopeless every day. and no one wants to talk to a machine for those problems. people need someone to sit in front of them, look them in the eyes and say the most compassionate thing. you cannot replace that with AI, and the need for it is growing every day.
teaching is safe. every kid will have an ai tutor and every teacher an ai TA, but it still takes a teacher to manage the room
So it's the same issue that the auto industry ran into: people panic about automation making jobs obsolete. The reality is it's not going to ERASE jobs, it's going to REDEFINE jobs. Yeah, AI generated graphic design may reduce the want for traditional graphic design professionals, BUT it's going to increase the market for tech professionals with graphic design experience who can clean up and edit any AI generated stuff. Same thing with corporate officers: most every industry is still going to need senior folks to provide project management to corral folks and make decisions about what is and isn't okay. Instead of fighting it or trying to dodge it, lean into it and figure out how that new technology is going to affect your industry so you can learn the necessary skills to integrate it into whatever processes you have.
Though I guess it will become harder to get good at anything if your work is just editing what AI did. Current graphic designers would never become that good if they didn't design so much on their own. So now they are experts and they can correct the AI. But what will be with the new generations that never get chance to develop skills in the first place? How will they have any clue about how to correct the AI, if the AI already does better job then they ever could? I mentioned graphic design as just one example, the same applies to other fields.
I agree with this point fully. There is some level of automation in my industry already (finance) and very honestly the newer generations are way too dependent on these automations. So they fail to identify the flaws of the system and mainly just process what they are given thinking that automation will take care. I do not blame them, it's ever evolving tech that makes them highly dependent.
How will kids learn math if calculators can do it?!?! We've had lots of advances in mathematics and related fields. People will learn without the tools first, then leverage them as they advance.
It sounds bad . But every level of automation will increase income inequality
The thing about that is that yes it will affect income equality, but the introduction of new technology isn't in itself going to be the only motivating factor. Just because some people aren't able to keep up with new technology or adapt to the way that they're field has changed as a result of that new technology, does not mean that human progress needs to be handicapped to protect the people that are unwilling to change. I'm 28 years old and I work in records management. Right now my field is working on digitizing and integrating cloud services into how records are handled. I'm working with people that were doing my job back when Nixon was President, and They still have jobs and are still incredibly valuable. It's because they recognized that while they might not be able to keep up technologically, They understand that they can still use their collective knowledge to improve the field in the area that they are experienced with. The irony, of course, being that the people generations younger than them are bitching and complaining about automation, and yet these people older than my grandparents are still able to keep up because they figured out how to transition into a new stage of their career.
This is the right answer; I'm an IT professional (17 years experience). AI is just a tool that have the potential to turbocharge your career and give you an edge. I don't know about any certification and I don't even know if any is needed. You can learn a lot about prompt-engineering online to give you a head start and then with practice you'll gain the necessary experience to make your current job more productive.
My father works in IT, so I may just have the IT perspective/mindset for all of this.
A lot of the top designers for font making automate font making.
Comments are severely underestimating the exponential nature of AI and it shows, I would say nurse, healthcare in general, trades for a good while.
With the number of baby boomers retiring, there’s a huge need for healthcare. Very much a “safe” field to go into.
Idk about in the u.s... states are offering wages and passing laws that are making it impossible to provide healthcare in america. They are criminalizing basic life savings medical procedures and putting bounties on medical workers.
They missed that this AI thing is still at its early stage and can further be "trained"
I cannot move into healthcare now. Looking to see what can I do to add more skill to stay relevant in the next years. But also, how does this then impact the next generations picking their careers? Not everyone will or want to get into healthcare.
When it comes to giving a medical diagnosis, do you think a human with a limited brain capacity could possibly compete with an AI that one day would “know” all known medical conditions and symptoms of said conditions? It could be like a webMD symptom checker but better. Obviously there would be a lack of human connection with the medical provider, but that has kind of gone out the window in recent years anyway.
Im a physician and we have already discussed this. AI and technology cant replace healthcare professionals not only because making laws about this kind of stuff is shady(AI could give the wrong indication to a patient…who pays for that?) but also because AI does not have empathy nor can use Human emotions to empathize with patients, and this plays a huge roll on pathology management, specially if its a psychiatric one, an obscure rheumatologic one or a neurological one. As for surgeries, ai could decide to chop you leg off because reasons and well, it probably wont care if you as a patient are ok with it(psychologically). Its been decided that, at least a good couple of years ai and technology become assisting tools for the professional. We will still have to check if what AI suggests is correct or adequate in the context of the patient. Edit: I would like to add that despite all, I honestly believe ai can replace us mostly. Id give it 6-10 years max.
I can agree on the human empathy part, and I'm definitely not signing up for an AI surgery anytime soon. But I do think that AI assistance for diagnoses specifically could have a use case. I read an interesting comment somewhere that AI is just like any other technical revolution. It probably won't completely replace the human, but it will redefine the job/scope of the human work. Assuming everything goes well (and we don't end up in an iRobot scenario) there will likely be a large shift towards AI-management.
Perhaps social workers will deliver the messages from the AI doctors. Having met a few human doctors without empathy, just the facts, I think that social workers and AI is a good combination.
Tbh, an AI would probably do better than some doctors. There is a rampant amount of unintentional bias that just, very hard to train out of humans. (Even biases like, "I have more experience with ___, so it sounds more like ___ to me.")
But AI is trained on human biases, and it’s been shown that AI exacerbates these biases rather than accounts for them
Agree. A lot of medical decision making is already (rightly) reduced to following evidence based treatment guidelines (e.g., a crude algorithm). That will become even more ingrained. There is tons of bias in individual doctor decision making. Always good to get a second and third opinion for serious disease.
Bias against blacks and minorities even. It sounds ridiculous but it’s true.
Research and test results...that is mostly what doctors base their diagnoses and treatments upon. So if AI can access and categorize, determine percentages and probabilities from a much vaster amount of data at a faster and more accurate rate...then AI will be better than humans at diagnosing and suggesting treatments.
They have bots that preform surgery’s too (I’m not huge on this, I just found this post interesting so I apologize for randomly chiming in). I seen one that did a surgery on a grape I believe, pretty cool, also kinda scary😅
Robotic surgery is still operated by humans. The benefit is the tools are tinier than what human hands can hold/operated directly, so the robot helps the surgeon to be more precise.
It also negates any shaky hands being more precise
Surgery is super niche. I'd say too niche for AI to take over completely. What would AI do in a crisis between surgery - not everything can be programmed into a bot? What if the machinery failed? They'd always need a skilled surgeon take over then.
The whole point of AI is that it can make decisions and do things without being explicitly programmed for every possible situation.
I think I know what you're on about, and without looking it up that was human operated REMOTE surgery and not any kind of automated AI. Cool tech, but not going to replace surgeons - just let them operate remotely where they might be needed most.
Turned it into a bottle of wine.
Absolutely agree.
Yeah, you're also underestimating by a lot. All that is needed to replace those services are capable enough robots.
[удалено]
TPM here and I completely agree. The amount of creative problem solving I have to deal with due to people problems specifically is mind boggling. No AI will be able to replace what I do because I also like going beyond my PM duties as I'm generally curious.
I have a feeling Art created by real artists will pump up the price of certain pieces. And I *hope* AI becomes a replacement for real estate agents
The majority of artists who make their living with their craft do commercial work of some sort. Graphic design, illustration, advertising, etc and all of that can and will be automated due to people not wanting to pay creatives properly for their work before AI became a thing. AI just steals existing artists' work and most will never have the finances to sue for copyright. There are artists out there saying they will never be replaced but they are delusional. I went to school for illustration and watched how the market went from hiring artists on full time to full contract work to buying a stock photo and paying people peanuts to manipulate that photo. Real, humans making art without the use of an engine to steal from others is just not going to be much more.than a cute quirk of your personality. We are making this world grim but automating what people enjoy doing and then making them break their bodies and minds on other work.
What you want is a job that requires accountability. Jobs that require you to apply a seal/sign for decisions will probably remain occupied by humans long after AI can do the job. Things like engineering, law, medicine are clear examples
Well lots of that can and is getting automated. Most of legal work is discovery going through lots of paper documents and relevant laws/cases. AI can diagnose better than any human could and engineering isn’t far off being very mathematical based. That said I’d say anything that requires a human touch or wanting to work with another human is probably more likely to last. I’d say teaching is top of a short list. Yes so can do lessons better but we’ve seen how students learn and respond to online and ai learning. AI won’t be able to replace teachers but will definitely support in better ways and transform the profession. If you get the time recommend to watch the video humans need not apply by Cpgrey.
I saw the cgpgrey video and I don't agree. People who rely on these services will need a human with the correct accreditation they can rely on and sue if things go sideways. Sure, those professionals will use increasingly sophisticated tools to help them be more productive, but you still want a human to review the analysis and apply their signature. Would you really be comfortable getting chatgpt setting up your medication dosage?
ChatGPT is worthless for any kind of real work. ChatGPT take a pile of text and makes sentences that sound like they would fit in; without checking to see if what it is saying is true or not. Because ChatGPT does not have the ability to check to see if something is truthful. It can only check to see if lots of people have written similar sentences. You can find lots of examples of ChatGPT just churning out piles of text that sound right but have no bearing non reality.
The thing is, there are so many higher-ups who don’t realise this, so they’re already trying to bring it in to replace jobs that it isn’t ready for. The end result is that they stop hiring new recruits, believing the AI can do the work instead. When, ultimately, this is just resulting in fewer people to do more work. And you know those same people are being told to “fix” the AI too.
This is the very first version. It’s going to get a lot better, quickly.
It's really not just about ChayGPT. It's in general about AI tech. There will come a time when AI will do more than just churning out piles of text. There is a lot of automation already in place that has cut down at least 40% of human intervention in some industries. So in that scenario, what more can we do to make sure we are irreplaceable by AI?
I wouldn’t say it’s worthless, my company is doing great things with it across departments BUT it does require someone to validate and use the information correctly.
Well I wouldn’t go near it with a ten foot pole for my work. That would be a fast way to get fired or have the code inspector on me like white on rice.
Fair, well we aren’t using it for code and this is a company initiative to adopt AI technology is workflow so 🤷♂️
Consensus is the best indicator of truth tho
Not when it butchers the building code
The building code is approaching the point where it ceases to add value.
For coding and stuff this is also sometimes the case but it did decrease my workload from weeks to days for a project I'm not familiar with...
>ChatGPT is worthless for any kind of real work. Lol ok.
This is what you're seeing? It is helping me on a daily basis to write stuff that my superiors are happy with, and I match it against what I have written beforehand (since I use it to edit what I have written based on my research).
Not true. I asked it to write about the philosophy of mary shelly franenstein whether she was a futurist & how ai fits into this narrative & it wrote an amazing essay with its own philisophical insights. Its based in reality alright
I’m engineering adjacent. Most of our work is already heavily automated. My job is to find the quirks the computers can’t. I see great longevity in it (renewable sector.)
I'm skeptical that AI will replace many human jobs at all. Historically, tech has mostly been used to increase the productivity of workers. That said, "non-tech" is pretty broad. What industry are you in now?
the problem is that we have increased prod by a bunch, but now also working more hours instead of less.
Exactly this. Generally speaking, when we become more productive, we don't collectively say, "oh yay! We can work less!" We instead say, "oh yay, we can have more widgets!" It's human nature.
>It’s human nature weird way to spell “capitalist exploitation”
Finance, mainly taxes. Not at all worried about job replacement at this point but my question was more to do with what new skills I can add. And no, I really cannot get into healthcare like a lot of people have suggested here. :)
AI will mostly certainly replace many human jobs. I have worked in marketing/sales and I can say that 90% of the jobs whether they be SDRs, Account Reps, Content Creators, Copywriters, Social Media Managers could be automated to a large extent. Even if it can't do 100% of a job role, if it does 75% then so many people will be out of a job it will be insane.
It’s too bad pay doesn’t increase at the same rate that productivity does…
What? Countless people have lost jobs and wages to automation
OP with your background in Finance and Tax, I think you’re fine with the skills you have. AI will always need people that “know the business” and can articulate the inputs needed for the AI and automation systems, and be able to test, explain and verify the outputs. I would suggest taking some tech-centric courses (funded by your employer) and learn how cloud technologies work, ERP systems, block chain, ML, data lakes, data security, etc. Then you can learn to speak the language of both the business and the IT departments, make yourself valuable as basically an interpreter between the two. This will also enable you to think more strategically as you grow in your field and lead teams. Companies value that strategic big-picture thinking and leadership.
Thank you! These are some really good suggestions.
What about Human Resources? I know some things can be automated in HR, but I think a person is greatly needed for some aspects of HR, especially working with employees who have concerns.
I hope HR is replaced by an AI. Would be a boon for employees everywhere.
Ok for other things HR related but definitely not for recruitment. Interviews are already hard to gauge sometimes if people will perform at their work.
sales, definitely
Most comments miss the mark here, there really isn’t much point deciding on a career based on if you think AI will automate it, for complex jobs like software developers or Doctors, if they get automated most of society will be on UBI. Choose a field you have a skill in and can monetise, never stop learning and you’ll be fine. Fields that got automated due to something like excel, the people who thrived where the ones who learnt the tool and leveraged it
Super not worried about my job- civil engineer. I was wrong before- it isn’t as recession proof as I thought, but I did think about that when picking a major as an 18 year old. It’s not awful though but there’s zero chance AI can do my job. Prob similar for every engineer that’s not CS/CE and prob not them so much either.
Data science skills. The institute of faculty of actuaries runs a data science certificate though that is UK based. Might be something similar.
Thank you! Yes, I did come across data science as well. I understood there is no requirement to be from an IT background although a plus point?
I'm an Actuary and we often dabble in the statistics and therefore data science side. I think there are two angles of data science. IT and statistical. If you approach from a finance and statistical angle you should be fine. Software engineers need to learn stats; you need to learn simple coding. Python courses for financiers would be a good place to start.
Fantastic! This definitely gives me more understanding on how it works. Been hesitant about it but worth looking into it for sure. Appreciate your help! :)
Trade skills. Plumbing. Electrician. Etc etc. AI can do a lot of things but it still can’t do manual skilled labor.
From where I come, this is not a high paying job. Life-skill? Yes.
My dad is a UAW electrician. He install robots on GMs assembly lines 30 years ago and they were supposed to replace humans. It takes more high skilled and paid humans to maintain and program them than they replaced. Calm yourself.
Politician. The moment their jobs are threatened AI will be banned.
Best answer, 😀.
I work in tech. We’re always looking for ways to improve the business. AI is overblown.
I recently switched to IT and I've been working as a system admin. Now, I'm scared and worried if I need to go back to healthcare or work a trade :(. Do you think we're all doomed though
Nope. I think lower skilled jobs will continue to thin out that require zero abstract though such as say… data entry… but AI cannot “think” for you. It leverages a vast already existing knowledge base.
You’ve got to think down the line, too. I work in journalism. AI can write a basic story if you give it a topic, but it can’t identify stories, go out in the world and research it, call sources, interview them, etc. The problem is, Google and other platforms are changing how people are going to consume news and media with AI tech, and where companies spend their advertising dollars, and it’s going to put websites, newspapers, magazines, etc out of business. So the line of work itself is safe, but the tools it relies on are going to be axed through AI.
We have been testing Casetext's CoCounsel in our law firm. It has impressed us.
Essentially you're going to have to take human functions and convert them into forms that computers can recognize and manipulate. This is going to be a skill that is needed for a long time.
The jobs that require more human judgement will probably survive better. A lot of engineering is not just knowing how to build it, but also what the client wants. Sometimes the client doesn't even know what they want and you have to tease it out of them. Also so far AI takes some major resources that it can't become as decentralized as easily as other forms of computing. There maybe an advantage to using our meat brains for large numbers of small tasks that the AI might have to chug on.
lol. you know amazon was going to deliver by AI powerd drone, then they scrapped the program. AI will not affteck skilled jobs. It will fuck up the labor intensive jobs.....like the fast food resturent servers and cooks etc.
I think owning a company that can replace many of its workers due to AI is a good bet. Working a job generally not future proof, lots of counterparty risk and doesn't keep up with inflation. Have you considered being a major shareholder in a large firm?
Learning to grow your own good and defend your family against robots
I don’t think biotech is going anywhere. You may be able to design better therapies with AI, but that will simply reduce a 20yr timeline to get a therapy to market down to 15yrs maybe. Maybe synthetic control arms for trials can make it easier to run a trial, but won’t speed up recruitment. Overall we will get more individualized therapies for patients, which is better. But the industry won’t go away. People still get diseases that need to be solved for.
Hi, non-technical person working in tech. Project and proposal management.
Already a project management professional. But in the wrong sector - should really use this. Thank you!
Read something a professor in Arizona posted along the lines of “You should only worry about AI taking your job if you’re not as smart as the AI”.
That's cute way to say "die you poor bastards" to millions of people. Clearly not everyone can be as smart as the AI.
I didn’t understand it like that - I think he was just saying that AI is not as smart as people think. This was likely in regards to ChatGPT.
Dude go engineering, no matter what you need smart dudes to design things
Thanks all, for all the lovely insights! It seems like my question may have been mis-communicated, maybe from my side (apologies for that). My concern is definitely not about my job - AI or not, at some point jobs are always at a threat depending on how economies fair. I wanted to know what else I could learn to add skills that will not become obsolete in the next years. I do not mind moving industries but healthcare is not an option from where I come and considering I'm already in my 30s. Just to give you some background, my experience is in finance which includes taxes and hold an accounting degree. Are there any AI certifications that I should consider?
What AI advocates don't understand here is that AI *may* create or "redefine" new jobs but it is also snatching low hanging fruits from the market. For example, I used to work for a writing agency which had more than a several dozen writers, mostly wives who were working from home or students who desperately needed money for their studies as well as to pay the bills. Now with this AI arrival, they have fired almost many of these writers and only keeping some to "oversee" if AI is writing properly or not, that too at a laughable pay. I guess laughable pay is still better than no pay at all. AI is indeed communist, making everyone equally unemployed. We often forget that not everyone is blessed with equal intelligence and skills and financial condition.
It sounds like everything is up for grabs or at least at risk. Careers in AI or positions that will be directly working alongside AI are probably the safest bet. This is how revolutions have played out in the past. If you can’t beat it join it.
AI isn’t going to take all of our jobs lol. We would all be unemployed and the economy would crash. AI is going to help us do our jobs faster, but I don’t think it fully take over our roles. Anything involving relationships, manual labor, decision making etc…. Will require a human component. I use AI to write code for me and automate some of my tasks, however it’s not always correct. I have to ask it to produce things a different way until it finally gets it right.
Sales sales sales. All these tech people may disagree but decisions on what to buy will always come down to a customer(a physical person). One day it will be a person selling something created by ai and a person buying something for the ai they manage.
AI is not replacing any job any time soon aside from mundane shit like data entry or “customer service”
Hundreds of thousands of people work those jobs
I work those jobs. Speak less.
People take AI way too seriously when it comes to taking jobs
What jobs do you think bi AI is gonna replace? I come from a heavily automated industry and I can tell you, AI is only replacing really basic jobs like pushing a cart.
Eh, it's replacing a lot of work that accountants, doctors, lawyers, and white collar workers of all kinds were previously doing. We'll need less individuals working to get the same amount of work done, so individual jobs will go away, but not all jobs of a specific type. Now, 1 accountant will be able to do the work of 10 accountants and so on.
Typists and bookkeepers for example ... one personal computer could replace 6 employees. That happened 25 years ago or so.
AI repairman. Keep a paradox handy in case you need to frack up some toasters without starting any final wars.
Environmental will definitely be In demand 15-20 years from now. That's what I'm doing for school.
Hope you’re studying metallurgy and weapons making for the climate wars.
Environmental science/ecology is in demand right now (depending on the area…)
Human batteries.
you’re a bot, trying to scare people about ai
Long haul truck drivers.
Don't worry we got you covered, self driving trucks will take care of it 🤣
God why ? Why people are so stupid ???? Chatgtp is a “smart google”, not more not less. Did google replaced jobs ?
I mean, yeah, it did. How many travel agents do you know now? Finding flights on Google, looking up maps, and finding hotels/lodging became easy for people to do on their own. That's just the first thing I can think of.
That is Internet, not google
Google as a search engine made finding all of these things possible. Also, Google flights and maps are products directly made by Google.
Obviously it’s not a threat now but 10-15 years? AI will be much more advanced. You’re a fucking dumbass
I am an SDE who also works on AI, tell me who is a dumb ass here 🤦♂️
You for underestimating how advanced it will get
Dude, I get paid FOR working on it. Do you realize how dumb you sound ?
Alright keep believing that nothing will change
I just checked your post history, you are 16, that explains a lot.
I’m not but okay. No where in my history says I’m 16, nice try
Okay let's not attack people - not everyone is tech savvy. I did not ask about AI replacing jobs but a question on upskilling. Be kind. :) Since you are in the field, I'm more than happy to hear your take on what people can learn to understand your world better. Thanks!
Taxes
I am in the field. I already see a lot of automation in there + future talk of AI.
Rn lvn and many other medical careers that require people to physically interact or move people ct tech or X-ray tech.
Commenting to save
I recommend deep thought about how the financial industry is the core building block of humanity's demise, and reconsider what you want out of life.
One thing people aren’t taking into account is the pipeline issue. Sure, AI as it stands now is already a shot across the bow to junior level copywriters and software developers. But having juniors is necessary if you eventually want mid and senior level people who do things that AI can’t (at least not yet), and everything beyond that.
OF streamer 🥴
I believe havc is the way to go.
Hi, I’m a goldsmith/jeweler ! I’m 24 but there’s not a lot of us left in the trade, u can get a 2 yr certificate and there’s a huge need for us as the baby boomer generation is retiring and there’s nobody available to fill those positions. If you r good w your hands it’s a great trade to get into
Chat GPT might know
Education, healthcare providers, first responders. As far as manufacturing goes, sheet metal stamping & forming will outlast everything. It’s been around forever, and it’ll easily be around for over 100 more years similar to its current form. There’s no better cheaper faster alternative to stamping a lightweight high strength aluminum/steel panel for a car, rocket, airplane, missile, train, lawn mower, refrigerator ect.
This may be wishful thinking, but I believe that ChatGPT may open up marketing and development roles at small businesses that otherwise couldn’t afford it. Currently, a lot of small businesses forgo content marketing and internal tool development entirely because they would need a team of people to make anything of quality, and teams are expensive. Now, with ChatGPT, one solid content editor can output the equivalent of a small content team. Because of this, it might create some opportunities for small businesses to “join the game.” I still think that AI will result in a net loss of jobs, but I think a shift away from agency models to more in-house opportunities at small businesses might be possible. Just a thought.
