I've been wanting to change to a programming career for a long time, but AI taking all the jobs does worry me.
But also... what else could I pivot to instead that doesn't also have the same problem?
- ganoushoreilly 2y agoModern "AI" is pretty cool at what it does, but I do think we're going to hit a bit of a slow down in the not too distant future. Everyone will adapt to using it as the tool it is, but I wouldn't let it dissuade you from pursuing development. There is still plenty of need for developers. Play around and find your Niche!
- ChumpGPT 2y agoIt is becoming more and more difficult to find a role in IT that won't be affected by AI in the long run. I'm sure there are some out there, just difficult to see them with clarity. There will always be a need for some folks but not as many. AI will need to be managed/implemented? Perhaps become an AI Manager of some kind helping deploy it into industry. I'm sure it will need to be cared for, hardware breaks, power outages, tuning, environmental controls, etc. There is a whole industry that will need to support it until Robots/Androids can do that job. I'm semi retired and I am worried for you too.
