So just because AI is capable of doing a task does not mean it will be implemented to do so. I see a lot of automation occurring at my job, and I also do incident management for when things break down. Code fails sometimes, gets fouled and has to be trouble shot. So even tasks that can be automated don’t always get that treatment. Either it’s not cost effective for the company, or the business owner can’t afford it.

So just because there can be AI doctors, lawyers, cashiers, coders, doesn’t mean there will be 100% application of AI in all instances.

So study up for what you feel you’re best at. The world will always need engineers, medical tech jobs . There’s a huge shortage of information security personnel. Teachers are in short supply. Elder care is a growth field. Graphic artists are still needed, despite AI. Musicians are still needed despite AI. People who can do logistics are needful. Meteorologists need to interpret models AI generates. Astrophysicists still need to program code for how to read data coming from astronomical observation. The list goes on and on. Just think on how your skill set is best maximized in service to your community and educate yourself to be capable, helpful, and ADAPTABLE. The world need creative, flexible, adaptable people.

It's what we will be all eating in the future man.

You were talking about future jobs.

Yeah, in any case since all jobs are gonna be replaced, might as well do what i love for a few years...

Dude ordered bread and onions?

I do have an interest in welding tho. The problem is is that mom dad want me to have nice white collar job...

Hate to be that guy, but source on models in single languages being better? I thought more data = better modeling. Why would it perform worse if you also include the Spanish and Chinese parts of the internet?

Hey OP. As a fellow college student obsessed with all things automation and AI, I've also spent countless hours panicking about my future and whether or not I'll be employable in any fields that interest me. I've been thinking on it lately after recently switching majors to comp sci, and my perspective is this:

If GPT 4 or GPT 5 or whatever model that releases this year or a few more years down the road really does end up outright replacing all or at least a significant portion of people employed in knowledge-based nonphysical work, then not only you and me, but everyone, has some pressing concerns.

At one point during the COVID pandemic in 2020, over one third of the entire work force was working remotely from home. For reference, one third of the US workforce is around 50 million people. This is the number of people that stand to be rendered unemployed relatively quickly by AI.

What I'm getting at is, we can't arrive at the point where more than a third of the work force is out of a job in a short period of time and then expect things to just carry on as they are. Something's got to give. Our current economic paradigm would be turned on its head. This is where I think UBI comes into play, and why I think it isn't all that far off. There aren't really any better short-term solutions to the sudden and severe scale of future unemployment talked about on this sub. I don't think the doomer take of "they'll just let everyone starve" is all that realistic. Contrary to what many think 50 million angry unemployed people are ultimately going to make their grievances heard, be it through peaceful or violent methods.

Or maybe a black swan scenario of a runaway self-improving AGI pops up out of nowhere in the next few years, in which case we get 1) utopia, or 2) everybody dies. Either way, our worries are over.

I forgot what I was talking about.

This is it, replacing a plumber with robotics sounds hard AF, i new construction if everything is exactly like the plans are maybe and huge maybe.

Old construction where it may have countless patches, tricks and half assed jobs the last 50 years, forget it.

"Yann LeCun, Meta's chief AI scientist, argues that the program is not innovative. He also states that similar technology has been developed by many companies and research labs, and that ChatGPT is composed of multiple pieces of technology developed over many years by many parties."

Well then, why aren't you releasing it. If LeCun thinks ChatGPT isn't innovative, well where are the other chatbots like ChatGPT that is considered innovative to him. Why companies haven't release it yet.

Mech is a great option!

I have friends who have now completed their PhD in mech working in extremely niche topics in ic engines. To he honest even before ai its the ic engine cars that would become obsolete, but they're not concerned

The thing is the list of problems is immensely long. And ai like chat gpt only display that power of AI not its full blown application.

We can't fully trust an AI generated solution today. You can test chat gpt on many rudimentary topics and it fails. So there always has to be a human element in advanced designs.

You would even expect f1 teams to employ just AI to design and optimize but they have a full team of engineers working just on aerodynamics

Also, ai will open newer jobs, like AI aided design etc. Problems will never end.

To be fair i as a computer science student am more concerned as ai can write codes better but the more I study I understand there are many areas which AI can't crack in some time. So problems will evolve, will become tougher. But human elements will sustain.

All the best!

Just pay them 15/hour and they won't be low wage service workers. Oh yeah, that's what got them here.

Same because the bot can just call you if something goes wrong or have live video so you can check in without having boring conversations with the sitter

I been waiting on the day for awhile. Most ppl worried about their jobs but I'm looking further ahead and trying to decide which planet I'm gonna party on during weekends.

Sounds silly but in the long run it seems my concerns are more meaningful than worrying about something that'll eventually be automated

Hardware is decades behind software. Everyone thought that truckers were going to he the first major profession to be replaced by AI in the West - turns out it will probably be artists, copy editors, and admin folks who work in the virtual world.

Realistically the answer you need to hear is the most AI-proof career design would involve ditching the college degree (unless there is a program that is REALLY calling you) and picking up a skillset that is tactile - a trade or something of that sort.

Kodak would like a word with you

Need an open source alternative.

Chatgpt is free. It's also very easy to pick up and put down. I can't wait for it to get implemented in video games..

Innovation != useful

If your innovation isn't useful in the real world, it's not even really an innovation.

Popular innovation = useful innovation.

You build a combustion engine, it is impossible to mass produce, and only 3 people have them.

I take your engine and make one that is simpler and easier to mass manufacture and cheaper to produce. Yours might be better, more innovative, but mine is the only one that's actually useful to society.
