> Even researchers can’t keep up with AI innovation So things are improving so fast that researchers can't keep up... and therefore nothing will change? This whole article smells like wishful thinking. You don't need workers to understand how their jobs are being automated, you just need a few experts who can drop in, turn half your payroll (or more) into a redundancy, and then move on to the next project. It becomes way cheaper to start a new business, so the number of jobs for people who know how to use AI increases, but all other job-markets with AI-exposure tighten.

The article does not argue that nothing will change.

> the number of jobs for people who know how to use AI increases Also anything AI adjacent that hasn't been automated (yet?), but I don't see any guarantee of a favorable ratio.

<< You don't need workers to understand how their jobs are being automated, you just need a few experts who can drop in, turn half your payroll (or more) into a redundancy, and then move on to the next project. Someone has to maintain it when experts drive away. I personally foresee something of a clusterfuck based on interactions with vendors and consultants, because that is kinda where it is heading. At some point, someone has to know what they are doing. It can't all be magic blackboxes. Or more accurately, it can..until it breaks.

I think people overestimate rate of change. We have good enough robots to get warehouse workers out of the jobs - it did not happen overnight and is still in progress. I was working on warehouse automation 8 or so years ago robots were already insanely efficient at that time. I switched area to more compliance stuff. Guess what - loads of companies still doing pen and paper. I don’t even know if we had in history such an event where bunch of people would be cut out. It happens gradually anyway.
