Why are you so confident YOUR job will be the exception?

[Anonymous]

I worry that someone could decide they don't need my job done at all. That could happen. But I don't think AI could do the job nor would anyone bother training it to.

I cannot say the same about my job. I am a Statistician and have been using more and more AI at my job. I am not a psychic and I cannot read into the future. However, I'll just say I'm blown away by the capabilities of the AI tools I am usingm.As a result, I am not going to be among the privileged ones who are so certain and confident that their jobs will be the exception.

Most people are behind the curve, delusional, or in denial about how A.I. will change the world.

Just sit back and let it unfold and laugh.

Eh I have like 5 years left so it’s immaterial to me. But our kids will be affected. They need to build their skills and fast. AI is going to replace the bottom rung highly repeatable low discernment jobs first. While I think AI will absolutely redefine every corporate function I do not believe it’s coming for mid management and senior roles of any function anytime in the next ten years.

Middle management has never been necessary and definitely the most vulnerable to AI advancements in tech.

I am a senior level manager listening to people’s problems all day and solving them through personal relationships, mediating interpersonal drama and dysfunction, big picture thinking and goal setting, running meetings.

No I’m not worried at all. I would welcome AI taking my job I am tired.

Yes the ultimate goal is for AI research to be automated..when that happens, then governments have huge problems on their hands because it then means we will have intelligent systems much smarter than us.

Uhhh source?

Get out of your text books and actually walk into a manufacturing plant of 800 people. And I’m talking an advanced robotic manufacturing plant. Even with AI advancements there is no way a VP GM is going to directly manage dozens and dozens and hundreds of people. AI is not going to coach you, redirect you, address your personal needs as an employee at least not anytime soon. It’s the lowest skilled worker that will be replaced.

Lobbying. 100% relationship and network based.

Middle management is what keeps the senior management from having to deal with the peons directly: the job itself is not going away. You could see compression if there are fewer staff to manage, but other than programners it's not clear this is actually happening anywhere. Kinda funny that programmers built a bot that mostly takes their own jobs.

Senior management decides what gets funded so they're not going anywhere either.

I think the pp meant white collar office jobs.

Lol. Ignorance is bliss. I know I know you are low key terrified.

You people are so annoying and probably are shills for some AI firm.

Really? I am a lawyer and when I use the AI tools, the product is basically like a college intern. It’s pretty far from being anything of quality. And that’s just for legal memos and briefs or document review — I don’t think it does much at all with on feet work or client advice that requires judgment and horse sense.

I do think for basic contracts, wills etc, it is pretty close to there — but the form programs have been doing that for a while. Same with simple taxe filings.

I started using AI at work recently just so I am familiar with the latest tools. I just want basic knowledge of AI as everyone is talking about it.

I am not sure having the attitude that "oh I am safe, I am not worried..." Is a strange attitude to me to be honest. Whether AI succeeds or turns into a flop, I just want to make sure I know how to use the tools.

What concerns me though most of us don't really know how companies plan to.use AI. We are all guessing at this point. Having said that, I will be a bit surprised if companions don't widely start pushing for AI adoption wherever it makes sense. Would that affect our jobs? I have noooo idea. At the same time, I am not smart enough to be arrogant and declare that I am safe.

Similar thinking here. I'm a former archeologist currently working as a historian. The data simply isn't digital. But we're already living in the world where people are deciding they don't need my job done at all.
