If you're job is shuffling tokens, your going to be out of a job in the next decade or more.
Writing, reports, code, reviewing, decision making, creative work, managing, Basically anything white collar these days. If you're job doesn't touch the physical world, AI will be better than you.
Here's the reasons it will take your jobs:
- AI is cheaper than humans
- AI is faster then human
- AI lies and makes mistakes, but it's likely already less than the average human, and getting better.
- AI doesn't sleep
- AI can work at maximum capacity without breaks
Here's the reasons why it won't take jobs that rich the physical world:
- Robots are more expensive than people
- robots still require upkeep
- people are hesitant to give AI a form that's also physically stronger than they are
The future won't be a SaaS or other business service doing b2b engagements, it will be businesses that touch the real world getting AIs to perform those tasks automatically with prompts. Steel producers won't need accountants, warehouse software, and a legal team. They just have AI that can do what they need to that day.
The only thing I haven't seen AI take on successfully yet is liability. Who do you sue if your accountant AI loses a bunch of money?
I have seen huge corps buy stuff and employ a lot of people just to have scapegoats.
I don't fear for LLMs or AIs taking my job. Just additional tools to learn! Our small team (I'm an IT systems administrator blended with DevOps a little bit) has begun adopting GPT4 and other tools to assist us in being more efficient.
