AI wiping out programming as a career. AI wiping out writing stories. AI replacing the need for doctors to diagnose illness. AI generally replacing all white collar jobs.
LLMs are useful assistants, but they are nowhere near the hype flooded everywhere a year or so ago.
- oceanplexian 2y agoI don’t see how they’re nowhere near the hype. Did everyone think it would take two months and all the doctors in the world would lose their jobs to ChatGPT? AI is a societal shift that will take place over the next 20, 30, and 40 years, much like what happened with personal computing. This is a time horizon that impacts investments right now. Professions that existed for thousands of years will cease to exist. That is an unbelievably big change.
- bdangubic 2y agoyou should celebrate they are people in this world that think like this… as long as they are around we can capitalize on this :) like the people who were still riding horses when fords started rolling around… :)
- yesco 2y agoFair enough, I never really took those claims seriously but will concede that many still seem to be in that headspace even now.
- ben_w 2y agoMostly I agree, but I would add: > AI wiping out writing stories FWIW, I think LLMs make better stories than quite a lot of the human writers on Reddit. Not that many of the Redditors were ever going to go on to be successful novelists of course (and I say that as someone who is struggling to finish writing this darn book for the best part of a decade now…)
