Ask Lemmy

i think i read some posts like hackernews that they already use AI as a therapist. I have good conversations with chatgpt when i asked for some personal advise. I haven't tried talking to a real therapist yet but i can see AI being used for this purpose. The services may still be provided by big companies or we can host it ourselves but it could be cheaper (hopefully) compared to paying a real person.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not against real physicians in this field, but some people just can't afford mental healthcare when they need it.

Jobs that are done in environments that are dangerous for humans. Or at least make these jobs safer for humans.

I’m not sure which jobs this will entail, but if a technology is able to reduce dead people on the job I think it’s a good thing.

Requirements revision review. It is the most mind-numbing part of my job and fortunately only a small portion of it.

A word changes, even just punctuation changes, can change the meaning drastically. And finding that change within a hundred page document is a task humans just plain suck at. Get a computer to compare revision A to revision B, highlight the changes, then pass it on to the human to interpret the change and decide what to do from there.

Groundskeeping.

None. Sorry just my opinion.

Look at the unemployment numbers. Tell me it's a good idea to have less jobs.

CEO, politician... I guess that's it. Except I don't actually want an AI making our laws for us. That would be a catastrophe.

Information handling and data entry!

(UK) Government.

It could not be any worse than the most-obvious self-serving pocket-liners of this century.

I think many things that solicitors do could be easily replaced with AI since it's just parsing the contents of documents and then writing a few templated summaries.

The only full job I can think of is assistant to a busy person. I don't think any whole jobs are done better by ai. Some of the jobs recommended in this thread would be better to be removed rather than replaced.

So, I think ai makes a better assistant to a person doing a job rather than a replacement to compete a job on its own. It can write rough drafts that a talented writer can expand and edit. It can quickly generate several plans that an experienced leader can pick from or discard. It can look through a designer's portfolio and spit out "new" combinations of their past designs that the designer can then build upon.

Any one of these jobs could give up and submit the AI's output as their own, but I think the quality of the results would suffer.

Realistically, a lot of the stock photo industry. If a few people can generate pictures on demand, you won't really need anyone doing sets, lights, wardrobe, etc for a series of generic photos .
