I assume you, teaching as the profession that we have today is not at all safe.

I am starting to think this is AI, but I am not sure. The irony.

It 100% is AI, this is ChatGPT's hilariously identifiable comic style.

Man itl be nice when surgeons can be fully replaced with robots.

There are some thing I would not mind seeing gone, like managers, doctors that don't actually want to treat anyone, and begging a Psych to at least give you an ADHD test.

I still think that all jobs are, in general, safe for the foreseeable future. But we will be expected to use AI tools and just produce more and more, so that a few people will gain more and more resources and power.

E.g. as engineers we will do less and less actual planning, but we will run AIs like it were a team of engineer slaves.

And I think this will be similar for other branches. A music composer will run AIs to compose parts of a song, adjust it, readjust other parts, till the song is good. I mean, afaik this is already how much of it works.

I'm not mad at translation no longer being a viable career choice. I'm mad at capitalism making it so.

As an automechanic, my job will never replace by AI, but instead we're fucked by low wages and the black box automobile has slowly become.

If we were not ruled by tech oligarchs, and the control & benefits of AI were not concentrated among a privileged few, AI replacing our jobs would be a good thing.

Mfw my girlfriend finishes studying translation in 2022 just in time for AI to come in

[–] pelya@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Synchronous translators are still very much in demand, as well as technical and legal translators.

Am I supposed to read this as simultaneous (those jobs are currently safe.... for now, the others are not) or progressive (all these jobs are human/skilled and halfway they get replaced by robots)..?

I suppose either way it's commenting that you can't take your position for granted. AI isn't coming to replace you, but it is going to evolve your field, and workers that don't adapt will be supplanted by those that do.
