[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think people can accurately predict how these things will work out. History shows us that. [/quote]

The AI I've seen so far is quite underwhelming. It's a helpful tool for me in my job but since it doesn't actually "think," I am not worried about my job. It is helpful for more tedious tasks. It is like an intern (ok maybe better than an intern) that can do helpful things under close supervision.

We'll see how things shake out in the next few years but yeah I'm just not worried about being able to finish out my career over the next couple of decades (or hopefully less). I am concerned about helping guide my DC into a career path that will be sustainable but DC is quite young at this point.[/quote]

Yes.

I was here (we all were) when Musk was touting completely autonomous AI cars as coming super soon! within a year! -- and how long has that been going on? What about his virtual reality headsets? And people (or a person) has been posting about AI taking over people's jobs for years now with great glee here. Okay. Sure. THAT hasn't happened yet, although I guess it may or may not in the next year or two.

But it the point just to try to poke people into being panicked about it, without any real action to take? Why? I'm sure as heck not going to dance around all scared for you.

Get back to me when you have a specific action to do about it. Until the, I still have work piling up, and I don't have time for you. [/quote]

I’m still waiting for all of the truck drivers to lose their jobs to self-driving trucks that we were told a decade ago was a sure thing.[/quote]
