I'll start worrying about artificial intelligence when customers can generate requirements specific enough for actual intelligence to decipher.

Kinda hard to build a prompt when they don't even really know what they want until they've seen what they asked for.

Could AI repair a bicycle?

That would be awesome.

Or "digest" a hoard of used bicycle parts and secrete assembled bikes.

This is why I've sided with the enemy and my career involves educating people on how to build AI automation.

Robots, maybe some jobs, but good luck eliminating the need for repair men and engineers.

In pharmaceuticals, AI will not replace workers in manufacturing or laboratory. It's even far more useful for drug discovery. There is a recent report of AI designing a new and effective antibiotic, in which the research and development for such drugs have basically stopped since the 1990s because bacterial antibiotic-resistance tend too evolve too quickly for antibiotic discovery to keep up.

Edit: i meant bacterial antibiotic resistance

Yea, I tried to use AI for my work, it seems to have zero clue about the software I asked about but it pretends it does. I think I'm safe.

Wait, y'all have parents that understand and/or care what you do for a living?
