With the appearance of ChatGPT and other similar or competing tools A. I. tools companies are starting to see how certain jobs can be replaced or sped up by them.
From to stocking shelves, to lawyer advice, graphic design, programming, etc.
Are you afraid your current job can be taken by this tools? How would you adapt? Or do you think your work can never be replaced or reduced by a machine? Why?
Are you afraid A. I. could take your job in the near future?
The question of whether artificial intelligence (AI) creates more job opportunities than it eliminates is a topic of ongoing debate among scholars, policymakers, and the general public. Both sides of the argument have compelling evidence to support their claims.
On one hand, proponents of the idea that AI creates more job opportunities than it eliminates argue that AI has the potential to automate repetitive and low-skill tasks, freeing up workers to focus on higher-skilled and higher-value tasks.
They also argue that AI can create new job opportunities in areas such as data analysis, software development, and cybersecurity. A study published in the Journal of Economic Perspectives found that while some jobs may be displaced by AI, new job opportunities are also being created in related fields.
On the other hand, proponents of the idea that AI eliminates more job opportunities than it creates argue that AI has the potential to automate many jobs, particularly in industries such as manufacturing, retail, and finance, leading to widespread job losses. They also argue that AI may exacerbate existing income and wealth disparities, as low-skilled workers are more likely to be displaced by automation.
A study published in the Journal of Labor Economics found that the adoption of automation technologies is associated with higher levels of unemployment and lower levels of labor force participation, particularly among low-skilled workers.
Both sides of the argument have evidence to support their claims, and the impact of AI on the job market is likely to be complex and multifaceted. While AI may automate some jobs, it is also likely to create new job opportunities in related fields, and the net effect on the job market will depend on the pace of technological change and the ability of workers to adapt to new technologies.
I am working at a truck factory so mass production is what we do, we have a lot of machines and robots, automatic robots and manual ones too. The idea of developing an AI to take over my job and few other hundreds people's job, is out there. Think of all the work and tech that a company will invest in, the money, the designer, the team, the software, the service, engineering, how many can fix it 7n case of an error and so on. If the robot/s are saving more money, and that is a HUUUUGGGEEEE IF, they might do it but we are not near any of that. If 100 people's salary cost less than 1 👆 robot? Humans stays. If 👆 robot cost as much as one person's salary, or even 2! Robot wins. But! That kind of technology is not available as we expect, not even near future because it cost more than it profits and the development has not reached that point yet. Am i afraid or worried about that? No.
What i am worried about is politics and politicians, they are the one real danger in my opinion
My future job is going to be psychologist, no robot can become a good therapist because they can NEVER understand human feelings. And I am also going to work in the field of music and writing. NO A. I can replace a job where only a human being's feelings can be used for production. No Al can write poems or stories and no AI can create music (sure they can fiddle with scales and notes and create a so called 'piece' but they can't create music, not at all). I am not concerned about AI taking my future job.
@bean2k21 World will become way more depressing that time. People will feel like their ancestors lead a better and free life while they are engulfed in laziness and four walls of the home. Many people will become jobless and become depressed due to that. Things will become expensive because you will need power to use robots which will create products. World have a big population, many people can't survive once they become jobless due to AI.
@apulu_imback I appreciate your perspective, but you suffer from a cognitive distortion known as fortune telling. It actually depends on whether the A. I. are truly autonomous or not. If they are, then they will do what is right for humanity.
@bean2k21 I'm sorry about that, I just tend to be very optimistic about future and try to find better points. But honestly, I don't want to see AI having equal or more power than human beings. It'll be productive to use them as along with your work but not them doing your work.
One of the publishers I write for made a big announcement about embracing AI an how theyāre NOT replacing journalists. Instead, editors and journalists are using AI as an extension of their work and value, not as a replacement which I think is a good mindset to have at this point.
My opinion: If you work for a GOOD company, they wonāt try to replace you.
Those people who are not afraid, are not smart, AT ALL and they are beyond ignorant and they don't realize that kids who are born today 2023 would have no future in 20 years from now. Not only that but 95% of ALL the jobs would be completely eliminated. Software engineers? Right very now a Chat GPT3 A. I. already can do a better job then a lot of coders. Doctors? ( you can heal your self using google) how about surgery? we already have robots that perform an unbelievably difficult surgeries. How about building roads houses or fixing cars? building robotic skeleton for such a job is easy, the software is the problem, but it will get solved in the next 10 years. I strongly believe it already has been solved for a military application many moons ago, it's just they don't want to release it to the public, because it might create a very destructive shockwave.
ROFL. AI would never replace human beings because AI can ONLY function on general information. It can not compensate for issues that arise outside of it's programming.
Software engineers - they do more than just code, try to learn what their career is about
Doctors - heal yourself using google ROFL more like poison and kill yourself faster
Surgeons - AI is used to ASSIST. AI would not stop surgery because a person is crashing on the table as a response to emergency situations is beyond / outside of its scope.
Building roads, etc. - already in use & hasn't replaced any large number of jobs, makes jobs EASIER
Building cars - already in use and hasn't replaced any large number of jobs, makes the jobs EASIER
AI is going to make jobs easier, reduce errors & increase productivity. Nothing more, nothing less.
People have been saying that technology will take everyone's jobs for hundreds of years. It's never happened. All that happens is that things shift around.
I used to work on the design and installation of automated systems. Yea, it replaced people. But most of them just moved somewhere else in the same company. The few who really did lose their job went to another company.
Look at agriculture. Go back a couple hundred years and 80-90% of people worked in agriculture. Now it's only 5% due to technology. Are 75-85% of the people out of work? Nope.
The thing is that no matter what technology comes along, technology+people is greater than technology alone. That will always be true.
Just about every job on the planet is threatened by AI now, even the "creative" ones that don't require a calculated process.
That's not to say AI is actually better for any any and all jobs, but the potential is clearly there.
Aside from the obvious problem of threatening jobs and therefore livelihoods, the widespread replacement of processes and services by AI will also be a massive contributor to depression and ultimately, suicide.
According to some, this is a feature rather than a bug.
at the moment, Iām a server and bartender. I have seen videos of robot servers or automatic bar machines that will make drinks for you. However Iām not worried about that technology becoming the norm. I think people appreciate personal service. And I couldnāt imagine a day where every restaurant and bar is taken over by AI workers.
however I can definitely see AI taking over someone like an artists job. Im sure yāall have seen the AI generated art that has been going around lately. I 100% can see companies creating AI generated rather than hiring artists
No, I program stuff that's... well, not AI but close to it.
I don't believe AI is remotely as good a product/service as advertised. Most of it, I expect, are chats outsourced to 'customer service agents' in Nigeria or India etc - who then pretend to be AI.
Humans being greedy, unjust, corrupt, lying and incompetent a-holes, is a much bigger problem than any AI (that is supposed to mimic human behaviour - and not only the good of it, since it has not been delineated properly even in the real-physical-bio/organic human world).
You do know there are humans who claim there is no such thing as society, right?
No I'm not concerned about an A. I./Robot taking over my job, it is an intensely intuitive manual trade where the majority of the skills and knowledge is learned on the job, the qualifications I started with at the beginning of my career were only an indicator of the skills I would have to learn over time, my job will for the foreseeable future still require a person on-site to wield the spanner, use a cutting torch, or weld something together in places that programmers would never think of.
It's not that programmers have to think of it, AI becoming its own programmer becomes smarter than humans will be able to fully know what needs to be done. However, I agree that many of our jobs just can't be done by machines, and I don't think a program will ever replace a breastfeeding woman for example.
It's funny to read the comments from people who say they can't be replaced. Anyone who's ever called a help line for a product or service, knows what it's like to talk to a human who can barely speak English. Now they have AI and they understand me, and I understand them. We are all going to be replaced. Am I afraid? No, because the government will implement a UBI.
And, they are being used as electronic receptionist, people searching your business for something, and handling all those front girl jobs without medical, dental, or salary.
Yup, that's been going on for a while, some do a poor job, but I think now woth chatgpt and all these new large language model are gonna make them so much better.
ONLY jobs that AI is going to take are menial jobs that require mimimal skillset.
Even being a receptionist is beyond AI capabilities at the current level because AI won't have the ability to understand human emotion and thus sympathize or empathize with upset customers, etc. costing more business than even an inept receptionist would.
No it just means I will do less coding and more design work, which fit me nicely. That said I don't think companies realize what danger it poses to their software value. If you actually use AI with your code you are basically giving out your company value too the AI company and they can use it to help your competition. So AI will change the way we treat code. Besides It's still just a very fast junior developer. It's create to many flaws and have no understanding of code design.
no. i know it's gonna happen to all of us either way. so since we're all not gonna have a job, we all gotta find a solution to the problem of how to manage survivall without a monetary system.
I often think in the future everyone will have a basic income of some sort and work would be a choice people have to live a more luxurious life, and those jobs will be quite hard to get and competitive when you're in them.
i actually dread that possible future the meost. that's the worst possible outcome. cause that will make people highly dependend of the state. and i see how politics is actually already pushing for that. it doesn't get any more dystopian than being completely dependend on a state handing you your basic universal income. because then your life is basically directly attached to the current political paradig. the next step from that is gonna be: you won't get your money once you start disagreeing with the state. so there's not gonna be political opposition anymore. that's actually the straight road into communism and we all know how communism ends... with a LOT of people dying.
I work in IT and it will be a long time before a data network will be able to be maintained by a robot but I am sure that someday it will be. There are already processes that are automated in network management that used to be performed manually.
My aspiring job is to be a college professor. I don't believe an AI can be a good teacher unless it can actually have human emotions. Bring a teacher is more than lectures, it's about connecting students, mentoring them and helping them grow. I don't think an AI can do that.
Reminds me of "Obsolete Man", an episode of the Twilight Zone where in the future a totalitarian state declares a librarian 'obsolete' and sentences him to death.
In my opinion, AI should be eliminated now before we become forced to scrounge for universal basic income given by a totalitarian government that may decide to execute you based upon population.
My job currently can't but you never know, five to ten years from now.
Good thing no AI can replace the kind of job I do. I mean it's not technically a job but I sell food and make music. Although, I worry about companies using AI instead of an actual composer. I never thought they could make music this detailed.
I guess my current Job could be done by an A. I. but a human still has to supervise that, in a worst case scenario i would go back to my old Job that can also be assisted by an A. I. but not taken over lol
I can't see it for my job as there are too many variables involved with what I do.

not really.. though I am thinking of going into the AI/machine learning business myself because it really is the shit and it is only getting bigger it seems :D
Wellā¦. Yeah they wanna make us pesky humans obsolete

A. I. is a tool thou it can dramatically change the nature of work being done it really just means means you will be required for different work, using or maintaining it.
My dream job requires creativity, which is something you canāt teach a computer. Even computer generated art requires the ideas of humans put into them. They cannot create new ideas on their own.
Afraid, no. I am preparing for it. If A. I. ends up managing my rental properties that will save me a good chunk of what I pay to the property management company.
Mine? No. Just like all the template media you can buy overseas. It all looks the same. So I think there will always be a place for thos to adapt to survive.
Not at all, I'll be hired to make better machine learning algorithms if anything. Daily reminder that things like ChatGPT is not A. I. It's machine learning.
We work with computers. We fix the mistakes that they can't. Computers have made our jobs easier and faster (harder and longer for doctors, but we get paid hourly, so it doesn't affect us).
There is interesting stuff about how filters and AI could soon dominate Only Fans, putting your average whore out of business. This wound be absolute justice.
A. I. would self destruct after 6 and 1/4 nights of my profession. Machines taking apart machines then sanitizing them before putting back together? That would create a revolution!
has many flaws. Always needs humans to work with it. Thats what they said about elevators that didn't need a driver, now we have elevator mechanics. AI works with humans but doesn't seem to replace them.

I am more concerned about the end of the social contract and the rich no longer needing the poor to die for them.

won't happen. Guess who makes sure these things are tested before they can go on the market? Unhappy consumers are a bigger danger than the AI's.
Take it! I don't like my job, so I would actually be happy if you took it.

Afraid? No. Bit AI and foreigners already have the jobs here. Then thereās a big public complaint that locals donāt wanna work - uhm how can we! The jobs are taken
Really? What about what already happened with amazon? Boxes are sorted faster and more efficiently, without people having to rest to avoid getting hurt, or commiting human errors.
@DŃldophobe It's also probable there will be not be an artificial afterlife intelligence. That's why everyone should worship me with their heart and soul, on their knees, and handcuffed to the altar, if that helps.
