What are you guys doing to prepare for AI? Backup careers? Talking to kids?

People will use AI in their jobs to produce more. On average, the economy will grow.

Of course with every new technology there are some people that benefit more and others that benefit less.

Anyways, I have a ton of money saved so I guess I’ll take some time off to think about a new career and then get a degree in interpretive dance or something since apparently that’s going to be the only job left!


Well, it's already eliminating a lot of jobs. And no one thinks it's all jobs. Just the kind of jobs that people think "oh, my job won't be affected!"

Why hire a lawyer when you can have AI do it better? Why hire 3,000 people to process healthcare paperwork when you can have AI do it?

It's happened and is happening. What are you doing to prepare?


I have a medical claim for $250 with 3 human parties involved in resolving it. The claim keeps getting automatically rejected. None of the humans have figured out yet why it keeps getting rejected. How do you think AI can solve this if humans can't figure out what's going on in normal coded claims processing.

My health insurance company will still need a human, my doctor's office will still need a receptionist/biller, and the doctor's office will still need an outsourced claims processor. One person may have created an error but AI cannot fix it unless it has human-like powers of inference and license to go beyond normal processes. They also don't need AI to mass deny claims as a stalling practice. They could just code that.

I should probably post this in the real estate forums—all those smug Bethesda lawyers in their fancy houses are about to find out what it's like to get foreclosed on.


Nobody's going to pay AI when they're facing prison.

Become a chef, become a yoga teacher, become someone who works with and appeals to the one thing that AI can’t replace: the human body.

On that note, f*ck AI.

Technology generally can replace some processing types of functions. But even AI hasn't been able to replace functions requiring expertise and back and forth interactions with clients.

Professions like medicine, law, and even software development still require humans to do it well.

Better than throwing darts at lawyers hoping to get a non-lush with an I.Q. above 100 that won't help the DA railroad you into a cell.

I don’t know what YOUR experience with the medical billing industry or the bookkeepers at doctors offices, but in my experience they’re not particularly skilled, helpful or productive. I would find it very easy to believe there is an AI model about to rollout that is much more capable of sorting out paperwork issues than the typical cluster eff we’re stuck with now.

It takes me three or four tries to MAKE an appointment with my specialists - the amount of times I get hung up on, given the wrong number to call, and have to just repeat the basic information I need over and over is insane! A motivated Australian shepherd could do it better than some of the people working doctors office phones…
