I disagree with the premise of the question. I am not a "doomer" about it, but I think AI already is and will replace a lot of people, and I think people will need to adapt accordingly. What is or will be replaced first? Customer-facing jobs. Then ask yourself which parts of your job, or an average job, can be automated. Can they do as good of a job as a human? Maybe? I don't know. What I do know is that meets the company's benchmark of adequate given the costs. Heck, even within my own job, I'm automating and delegating tasks to GPT-4, mostly via Raycast and using keyboard macros.

Could you elaborate on your setup and what tasks you delegate?

  Sure, I use Raycast, including its Raycast AI feature and snippets feature. I also have Raycast script commands (mostly specially-formatted shell and Python scripts) that integrate with internal systems, such as our firewall, help desk, and MDM systems, as well as Linux servers via SSH. For help desk tickets, I have a script that pulls new tickets, reads the information for each one, determines a likely next action (response, resolution, or follow-up questions), and asks me if I want to proceed with the response. Most of the time, I hit "y" + Enter, and the script handles the response. The responses are always well-written, cheery, and concise, regardless of my current mood or level of distraction, and I've received good feedback on them. I also use the Raycast AI commands "Improve Writing" and "Summarize" several times a day on emails, documentation, tickets, and other text. I select the text in any window, hit a hotkey to launch the action, and it quickly performs the action on the selected text and optionally replaces the selected text or copies it to my clipboard. It's a very efficient process. My goal is to automate anything I do at least once per day. In addition to Raycast, I had much of this set up on Alfred (what I used prior), Albert and now ulauncher on my Linux box, and the launcher that comes with Power Toys on Windows. I could also do all of this with scripts in zsh. 1. https://www.raycast.com/ https://www.raycast.com/ 2. https://manual.raycast.com/ai https://manual.raycast.com/ai 3. https://manual.raycast.com/snippets https://manual.raycast.com/snippets 4. https://github.com/raycast/script-commands https://github.com/raycast/script-commands and https://manual.raycast.com/script-commands https://manual.raycast.com/script-commands .
