I think your job might be safe. AI has been doing speech to text for over a quarter century. It’s been bundled with Windows since XP. And nobody uses it because it has all the same problems that modern AI has.
exactly this happens constantly as tech advances we both find new stuff to do and things like universal income pop up as efficient ways of keeping people happy and healthy
I would love to see an AI trying to my job. It’s useless at almost every aspect except for seeming like it knows what it’s talking about.
So the higher ups who never know anything will listen to it, implemented it’s dumb suggestions that are either unworkable or actually illegal and will burn the company to the ground. It would be hilarious if it weren’t for the fact that I would be out of a job.
They want a new financial management solution (currently they’re using some ancient thing on SAP) they’ve looked at a few solutions but they don’t like any of them because they all cost a lot of money since they all go with the subscription model these days rather than just letting you buy the software in one big payment. They have actually considered letting an AI right some software for them. Should be fun.
I think they’ll all come back after public sentiment seems to lean towards, “I’ll take what I can get and keep my head down, if it means I can afford groceries.” Then, they’ll be able to hire back senior specialists at a massive discount.
Even the headline is wrong. Jobs have already started disappearing due to AI.
I did some AI training a couple of years ago. Turned out I trained the AI to do what I was doing.
Fool me once…
fool me once… and I’ll not have a chance to be fooled twice
What job were you doing that AI can do it?
It was fairly basic, just analyzing audio tracks and extracting the dialogue from them to text. Simple stuff for AI now.

They were freelance contract jobs, and I haven’t seen anything that easy in a long while 😒
Writing snarky emails to end users.
They got you too, huh

I’m told that AI can’t actually replace humans, so presumably those jobs will be back in short order.
They were just layoffs in disguise, so they wont be back for a while.
