Ever had an "AI" show up at 2AM on an emergency call to fix a gas leak? How about an "AI" to cook a breakfast sandwich? Maybe an "AI" is taking over babysitting while you're out of town...? No?
"AI" doesn't do anything. But if your job primarily revolves around words or pictures on a screen, maybe "AI" can help you with that.
Imagine pretending like things pertaining to "words or pictures on a screen" cannot be doing anything. I get it, everyone hates AI, no need to invalidate many real peoples' jobs.
OK Grandpa. Come back to me when AI writes a novel that isn't absolute Dogshit, or writes an academic paper that isn't hallucinated horse shit, or code that isn't insecure Spaghetti, or Art that isn't garbage, or analytics that isn't out the arse.
"AI" is shit and overhyped. It usually means LLMs that can only steal and remix shit people already made, it can't make anything new or sometimes, it just can't make anything good or usable. Problem is, the inbreds who run our companies don't understand that.
Just because a job involves working on a screen doesn't mean it can be taken by AI.
