Which jobs do you think it actually can replace?

• ben_w 1y ago
  Today? Or in principal? Today is just interns and recent graduates at many *desk* jobs. Economy can shift around that. Nobody knows how far the current paradigm can go in terms of quality; but cost (which is a *strength* of even the most expensive models today) can obviously be reduced by implementing the existing models as hardware instead of software.

  First of all job replacement is not hard, and doesn't require AI. As an example, we had release train engineers whose job was to make sure the right versions of submodules made it into the release, etc. Lots of running around and keeping track of things. We scripted like 95% of that away, and now it most of it happens automatically. The people who do that now do something else. I just turned a page of notes and requirements into a working app of 1k+ lines with Cursor. Without AI I'd have taken a couple days to do the same. So you could say my job was partly replaced. AI reduced my workload, so management doesn't need to hire as many people. I will probably feel the reduction in demand in that I can't negotiate as good a salary, I won't get as many offers etc.

    This sounds really dystopian considering AI agents only benefit people who can afford them in the first place. Really bad development of things. Almost feels like the poorer people are losing a lot of power with this development while only enterprises win...
