if you think that AI is not going to be able to augment the thing you're doing in whatever role you hold right now - whatever career path and profession - that is called cope that probably sucks for a lot of people! it sucked for me! but learning and adapting here really is key

increasingly it seems like the only real answer to this is to find ways of ensuring guaranteed income for people. imo we are reaching a point where people who want to build or do things will be able to - unrestrained by skills - and there will be a lot of people who will no longer need to work

journalism? ai is getting there medical? ai is getting there legal? ai is getting there farming? ai is getting there art? ai is getting there you can absolutely be a part of the creative and design process with ai, and you very well may keep a job! but your job is going to be very different

I am not in any of those fields, but in my field the claims absolutely evaporate with even modest cross examination. I get pitched on new "AI" products for campaigns regularly and 100% of the time it's coders with no campaign experience who think they've solved campaigning and never have.

I'm wide open to the possibility that this will change, which is why I keep taking the pitches, but so far it is literally 100% of the time the pitch finishes, I ask like two questions, and they either concede they didn't think about any of those concerns or they get really defensive. *Every* time.

My wife works in genetics and the tools they buy all tout a big AI component. You'd be surprised how well it works! Not well at all. Surprisingly so! They mostly just ignore the 'AI' piece and proceed based on their own training. But the bosses sure do like the idea of it!

This a Very Distinguished Hospital and so their analysis tools are always being improved, constantly being tinkered with. They got money and smart people for that. The AI stuff just does what it does and you're not supposed to look took closely. But when they do look, it makes weird errors.

The next version may fix those weird errors... and makes new weird errors. No real flexibility there, which is the sign of a bad tool This shit ain't curing cancer. And even saying that it would is dumb because cancer is a whole bunch of different shit. I've gotten that lecture.
