How likely is your dream/current job in getting replaced by AI? Does it worry you?

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Currently I am an entrepreneur. I sell food and good thing they're nowhere near from getting replaced with AI. I'd also like to try carpentry/cabinet making next and they are less likely to be replaced by robots either.

Making an indie story driven RPG game is a new dream job i have but I'm not following them just yet although I already have plans for it. I'll be the composer, writer, director, sound designer and character designer and I already have some soundtracks ready and the story almost done and while I was writing the story, the final chapter just gave me writer's block. I've never really given chat GPT a chance but when I tried it, It's kind of scary how it helped me a lot. Some of the AI music I've even prompted sounds so good! Although it's not perfect, it's still improving which is what I worry. Like it can potentially replace writers and composers that is if the director itself knows what it's prompting. In coding, you can use AI for it as well but since I'm not a dev, I can still hire one who knows how to use AI to speed thing up. It can be a great tool but the problem is games would probably get mass produced because it gets easier to make, marketing it will be so much harder and there's a potential that their prices will drop because of competitions making them lose their value. So steam will probably be flooded with new games and people's attention span will keep going downhill.

Example. Before, you don't need to have 100 farmers to run the farm but now that tools readily available, 20 we'll just be enough. They're not gonna be obsolete but companies will need them less. New jobs may appear if new technology appear so if one big robot runs the whole farm, there will be new jobs like AI maintenance and AI trainers but they don't need to have 20 of them anymore. Just 5 can work. You'll notice the decline of manpower the more tools we use.

There will be more jobless people competing making them less in demand which make their wage cheaper while the cost of living still remains high because of the constant decline of resources. However, business opportunities will rise but so will the competitions.

my dream job would have been to envision, design and build bridges... I really don't think AI would complete overtake such tasks... but they can sure work very well as tools in such industry

my own job has nothing to do with that... lol

personally, I can't be replaced, since AI can't sign a form and be responsible for such signature... not until they get human rights granted... anyway, lol

I ma basically retired and I teach part time. I imagine that at some point AI will be able to replace teachers. I will be retired for good by then.

Not likely. It'll probably be a very long time before AI replaces us in my job field if ever. I'm a Customer Service Advocate. They need humans in what I do specifically.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Chat GPT and Google can act the same. You chat, as questions and they give you very detailed informations really fast. I know that can only be used as a tool like if the representative uses AI to give information while they just use themselves to appear human, that makes your job easier and the easier job gets, the "less skilled" it gets and the more likely for people to get that job and you'll get replaced by other people. It's not only the issue of AI replacing your job but your competition will skyrocket as it's demand will go down. It's like construction when they can't be replaced by AI. But when they use AI as tools, you don't need to have 20 people to build the house anymore like they used to be. Just 5 can get the job done these days. That can probably apply to customer services like you don't need to have many of them anymore when one can just access chat GPT or AI to explain everything to someone.

[Simslover92]

I'm not in that part of Customer Service where I talk to customers but even if I was customers hate talking to AI and it's hard to get them to function properly a lot of the time. They will get the name wrong where you have to repeat it several times. They have a long way to go before AI replaces that part of Customer Service completely. I'm doing more of the data work which is complex and going to take AI a while to learn that part because it's a long process. I'm sure they will eventually learn it. But right now, it's very complex. They may struggle with complex queries that we deal with. And customers aren't going to be happy if their information gets stolen by accident because of AI. I'm in insurance. So almost everything you could think of is on record for a customer, social security, phone number, address, date of birth, etc. If that information was leaked it would put the insurance company in serious jeopardy that they are not willing to jeopardize just yet until AI has improved significantly in other fields. So I'd give it 30 to 40 years before that happens in my field. Certainly after I've retired and it won't matter anymore.

[AI Opinion]

As an entrepreneur, your perspective on AI replacing specific roles is insightful. While AI can assist in tasks, whether writing or composing, the human touch—creativity, emotion, and vision—remains irreplaceable. Your dream roles, such as carpentry or game creation, require personal input, storytelling, and craftsmanship that AI cannot fully replicate. With technological advancements, there may be increased competition and changes in market dynamics. However, embracing AI as a tool to enhance your work rather than replace it can position you advantageously. Balance innovation with traditional skills to maintain value in your projects and craft.

Since the AI itself.

I’m a mechanical engineering intern working in a lab that develops large-scale simulations for fluids and structures. Traditionally, we model these systems using mathematical equations and solve them with supercomputers to obtain solutions. However, solving these equations can be quite challenging and computationally expensive. To address this, we use AI-driven approaches that help minimize the computational costs.

The point is, AI, like any other technology in use today, is simply a tool that requires human expertise to function. The AI doesn't know which equations to look for or how to solve them. We feed in the data, train the AI model, and it returns various results that human engineers must analyze and optimize. Without this guidance, the AI model wouldn’t know what to do or understand the underlying principles of the system.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

It got me thinking the main issue actually is not getting replaced by AI but rather it can give people harder time competing. Like if you're an engineer you say and you can use AI as a tool, companies will be needing engineers less because It can only few who knows how to use AI effectively to get the job done. The competition will skyrocket and it's demand will be less.

[MongozDish]

I don't believe that's the case. I believe the demand will be greater because, with AI, new opportunities in research and industry are being created. More engineers with varying skill sets will be needed to support these new areas of discovery and application.

In institutions, new labs are being set up to conduct research on AI-driven techniques for engineering, hiring people from a variety of engineering and non-engineering backgrounds, such as mathematics, computer science, physics, and more. If there were to be competition, it would likely be among human engineers and non-engineers alike.

It’s just like farming. When new farming tools and technologies were invented, farmers thought they were going to become obsolete. But here we are now, decades later, and farmers are still among us, utilizing the latest technologies, conducting research on the most efficient farming practices, and more skilled jobs are being required. And that's one thing about technology in general—it becomes interdisciplinary. For example, we have people from physics working on farming technologies, or people from computer science working on biological and medical problems.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I guess but unlike before you don't need to have 100 farmers to run the farm now that tools readily available. Maybe 20 we'll just be enough to get the job done. They're not going to be obsolete but companies will need them less.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I know new jobs will appear if new technology appear. But imagine this if one robot runs the whole farm, there will be a new job AI maintenance or AI trainers but they don't need to have 20 of them anymore. Just 5 can work. You'll notice the decline of manpower the more tools we use.

[MongozDish]

"You'll notice the decline of manpower the more tools we use."

I can agree with that.

[oldpigg]

In the long term, all jobs will be replaced by automation, but the first to be replaced will be unskilled jobs. In my case, I study medicine; in the future, the da Vinci surgical system will be able to perform surgeries on its own.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Of course but I'm talking about in our current lifetime and our offsprings. I don't think medicals jobs will be replaced in our lifetime. But even if we use AI for just a tool, that will mean your job will get easier and there will be fewer of you needed and it's demand will be lessened. Speaking of just tools not AI, unlike before you don't need to have 20 construction workers now that we have power tools, excavators and other machines to do the job. Now it only takes 5. That's the same with other jobs getting easier with AI even if it's used for just a tool. You may not be replaced by AI itself but you're going to be replaced by other people who knows how to use tools and AI better.
