There's also the timeline that: "Radiology will be automatized in 5 years" (10 years ago) "Radiology will be automatized in 5 years" (5 years ago) "Radiology will be automatized in 5 years" (last year) or "Full self driving will arrive within 5 years" (5 years ago) "Full self driving is still a ways off" (last year) Assuming you're referring to generative models, I don't think that anyone (knowledgable) thinks that graphic design or creative writing are on death's door. They might change with new tools, but skilled practitioners are still required. That's basically the point of the article.

We are 18 years from the DARPA Grand Challenge and none of the vehicles finished. Do you think a self-driving car can make it from LA to NYC by itself now? What do you think 2040 AI will look like?

Having seen some of the automation available in radiology, I’m a bit baffled as to why I still have a job as an MRI tech. 5 years ago I watched automated cardiac MRI, and it worked well. I was told about a site that were having good results with fetal cardiac MRI via a related bit of software. These scans are hard to do, and the machines did well. In some cases they got confused and did a good functional analysis but of the stomach, not the heart. Oops, but easily fixed by almost anyone after a few minutes of explanation. Why are basic MSK scans still done by a tech with years of training? I don’t know the answer to that as it’s basic stuff and if I end my career without machines having taken over the basic stuff, I’ll be a bit disappointed.

  But even if all these analysis would be dine automatically, I guess you won’t be out of a job soon (good news I guess). But just different: I did in the automation of the diagnostic lab and what happened is that from a detective style job, today it is more about running a factory. 24h running a business, turn around times and have less and less qualified personnel to fill the machines…
