I’ve said before and I’ll say again, AI tools as we have them are a really good tool, for someone who knows what the tool needs to get done.
This isn’t gonna replace work, it’s going to change what work looks like, from having to know how to do the thing yourself to having to be able to clearly describe the thing you want done.
The peak of irony, this STEM development just made writing and literature classes a VITAL part of the average student’s future working skills compared to how they were viewed before.
The hardest workers are probably also gonna wind up being damn fine reporters/poets/creative writers just as a happenstance of what skills they have to develop just to be good at their prompt engineering.
Yeah. AI can definitely reduce development costs by handling a lot of the easy busy work for developers.
People are already losing their jobs… This is simply domonstrably false.
I think maybe you’re focusing on a specific topic, rather than the broader one. For example, AI is still not great at technical troubleshooting… Though, honestly, it’s getting better at an alarming rate.
Considering that Big Tech’s thing lately is “were going to fire 12,000 people and shunt their work onto other employees for no reason but to raise our stock price”, I’m a bit skeptical.
Yeah, this is already happening. I’m watching people lose their jobs. I’m starting to wonder how many AI apologists are real people without motives.
I’m not suggesting we ban it, either… But we need legislation and common sense laws/rules/limits. If this isn’t achieved soon, countless workers will be upended for the enrichment of the few.
If a business borrowed too heavily during the last 5 years/super lower interest rates cycle and are now really hurting because they couldn’t keep borrowing, they are choosing to reduce overhead ie employees. This was gonna happen no matter what IMO (i could be insanely wrong) but along came “AI” to solve all the problems aka shift the blame.
Like i said i could be way off but this seems like a fad that is gonna get scapegoated hard.
Didn’t they just fire a bunch of ppl?
I imagine he turned around, pressed the resume call button and fired 500 employees to make room for Ai
An AI will not take your job. But someone who uses AI well as a tool might.
That just shrinks the available jobs and eventually something will break in society.
