I think AI exists to make humans better, not to replace us (which it can’t anyway). I use LLM’s with new topics answer questions and tutor me (for instance with multivariable calculus -course this spring I asked Claude to create 10 practice exercises, which I then did and it reviewed. Harder ones it did with me step by step.) hopefully not needing them after awhile, when I gain proficinency. Automating humans away is not going to work. There’s a reason why we are the apex predator and ruled this planet for million years.
- abustamam 5mo ago> which it can’t anyway I agree, but it doesn't change the reality that AI is the stated reason for many layoffs.
- majorbugger 5mo agoYou have very optimistic assumptions about AI. Of course AI will not "replace you" on its own, but some person in the company will decide it.
- delis-thumbs-7e 5mo agoThat’s first time I hear I’m optimistic about AI. I am as optimistic as I am about a hammer or a liquid scale. They are tools and they are good for particular jobs, if ypu know how to use them. I am in careers that is one of the more sheltered from automation. Present tech layoffs I suspect are more due to insane overhiring during covid as well as outsourcing. I am sure some companies have gone to full AI psychosis -mode, but they are taking a massive risk. Time will tell.
