I have seen so many articles, tweets, posts, etc. in the past few months about AI eradicating all jobs or something along the line, and robots eliminating all needs for human labour.
And then I look at all the jobs that I have worked on.
Good luck using AI to get through government bureaucracies. I am sure ChatGPT get help you navigate all the regulations, apply to all the licenses automatically, comply with regulations etc. I am sure when a company is fined millions they can just say “but…ChatGPT say this can work!”
Good luck telling the CEO to use AI assistant. I am sure the 70-years-old CEO would prefer shouting to a phone which may tell them the idea does not work instead of shouting to a group of employees who would nod nervously and then implement the ideas while ignoring the bad parts.
Good luck replacing humans with robots. The maintenance costs of hardware and software on an army of robots which needs fuel and electricity and probably internet connection MUST BE lower than hiring labour at minimum wages. Right? Did I forgot to mention that human can takes care of themselves?
Remember that the society is run by humans. Even the rich and the powerful are human and have human needs. They would want other people to work for them.
What if a singularity AI took over the world? I mean if that is possible and the society fail to prevent such an event from happening then humanity deserves to perish anyways. Also please don’t tell me you believe in Roko’s basilisk.
Stop worrying and start living your life!
That is a problem I already see in my field. Instead of asking my junior for a first draft, using ChatGPT could be faster and cheaper.
I can make adjustments because I already know the ins and outs, but I wonder what fresh graduate can do do get the experience.
Not to mention that some schools are saying they should encourage students to use AI. Please no, let them try doing things the hard way first before moving to the easy way.
