Personal is a career?

Any personals here?

AI hasn't replaced Translators and the attempt to use them to replace artists and journalists isn't going as well as you would assume. AI isn't replacing any skilled position. Anyone who told you it will, is selling you something or dreadfully ignorant on the topic.

People under Capitalism: Oh no, our jobs are being automated. 😱😭

People under Socialism: Finally! Now that our jobs are being automated, I can chill and watch TV, maybe go on a vacation. 😎🏖🍺🎉🎊🎇🎆

~(Btw,~ ~USSR/Russia~ ~and~ ~PRC~ ~are~ ~not~ ~socialist,~ ~don't~ ~get~ ~confused)~

The rich will always have money to pay better people to make beautiful things for them

Just be useful to the rich and you'll survive

Just like they planned it

I wanted robots to do my menial unpleasant chores for me so I'd have more time to do art, writing, and analytics. I didn't want robots to do all the art, writing, and analytics so I had more time for chores & menial tasks 😭

When I see these kinds of posts I just look over at the vibe coders and just laugh harder than any joke about ai taking our jobs

Meanwhile my (college btw) teacher suggests us to use ChatGPT if we need help. Bro wants to replace himself.

Everyone thinks their own line of work is safe because everyone knows the nuances of their own job. But the thing that gets you is that the easier a job gets the fewer people are needed and the more replaceable they are. You might not be able to make a robot cashier, but with the scan and go mobile app you only need an employee to wave a scanner (to check that some random items in your cart are included in the barcode on your receipt) and the time per customer to do that is fast enough that you only need one person, and since anyone can wave a scanner you don’t have much leverage to negotiate a raise.

Oh man is translation not possible with AI. You have no idea how little languages have in common. A lot of terms don't mean a thing, but combine concepts you don't have or associate to point at a thing.

My dad said, about learning a new language, ''cat means cat, not gato, don't translate'' and I think that holds up pretty well from my experience.

Cooking is something that requires advanced robotics or some kind of heavily modular factory-like automated meal production line, not AI. Though AI certainly could assist in the development of such.

Drivers are being actively replaced right before our eyes.

A lot of Lawyer work is already being heavily automated, even without AI. Outside of that its "technically" replaceable with AI but on a literal legal level not likely currently possible. I think automating some aspects of being a lawyer might be beneficial but certain elements would be down right dystopian if fully automated.

Doctor work being automated is also already being done, but this is arguably a very good thing, as it maybe holds the key to a lot of medical breakthroughs and might unlock the potential to sort all that personal medical data people collect ever since that became a thing. And largely might help significantly reduce the cost of highly effective personal healthcare, given sufficient time.

Teacher work probably could be partially automated but getting kids to pay attention to a lesson, discipline, safety, etc would likely require a human to be around if only for liability.

The image looks like AI...

How safe a profession is depends on how much more expensive replacing robots are than replacing people

Man itl be nice when surgeons can be fully replaced with robots.

If we were not ruled by tech oligarchs, and the control & benefits of AI were not concentrated among a privileged few, AI replacing our jobs would be a good thing.

I still think that all jobs are, in general, safe for the foreseeable future. But we will be expected to use AI tools and just produce more and more, so that a few people will gain more and more resources and power.

E.g. as engineers we will do less and less actual planning, but we will run AIs like it were a team of engineer slaves.

And I think this will be similar for other branches. A music composer will run AIs to compose parts of a song, adjust it, readjust other parts, till the song is good. I mean, afaik this is already how much of it works.
