Current Events > Will AI Take Over Your Job in the Future?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not in my lifetime. I work at a power plant where you have to physically walk to specific equipment and turn valves to make adjustments and it needs hands on human interaction to properly start and stop so many things at the appropriate time.

Could it be automated? Sure in theory but the cost would be astronomical that could design a plant where every single valve could be operated automatically and even then you would still have issues that need human hands on the equipment.

You need to be able to to look at trend data and properly respond based on temps and pressures before there is an issue. It needs constant watching and interpretation for the correct action to take.

It's something I'm simply not concerned about.

Maybe some parts of my job could be somewhat automated but not any time soon because every part thats cant be automated needs to be done by someone skilled, and simply implementing some automated component requires someone like me to do so

AI can't even do Google searches right

I'm a kleaner. Robots/A.I. have a long way to go.

My job could and probably will eventually be automated, but most of it wouldn't be via AI.

As a school psychologist, I could mayyybe see some aspects of the special ed evaluation process being handled by AI (I certainly wouldn't mind not having to write all those fucking reports), but I feel like the clinical judgment in eligibility decisions is important enough that people wouldn't wanna leave it up to machines. I definitely don't foresee kids wanting to talk to an AI rather than a human for emotional support, nor do I imagine schools would feel safe entrusting suicide/threat risk assessments to an AI so I definitely feel safe in that aspect.

No. AI isn't replacing university professors any time soon

Yes. My job as a software engineer will be taken over by AI. It's already starting

I agree with Elon Musk that almost all the jobs will be replaced by AI in our lifetime. Working will become a hobby and people will probably just pick and choose where they want to volunteer.

No. The people who pay the fees for the school I work at would lose their shit at the very suggestion of their kids being taught by AI. They dont even tolerate them being taught by Vietnamese people if they can help it.

Teacher

it wont happen, since this country hasnt even figured out email

No corrections require the human touch. Maybe we get robots to handle riots and such. But you can't have something just cold and calculating handling inmates 100%

I think we are a long ways off from a AI being able to recognize one guy out of 100s is acting unusual compared to most days and talk to them possibly preventing a situation from occurring. I get the feeling AI would mostly be reactive instead of proactive in a correctional setting

Also if in a robot body inmates would tear it up. Only reason human guards ain't killed daily is cause while criminals they ain't monsters. Cause let's face it if the inmates wanted all guards dead they easily could pull it off. But a robot? Nah they'd fuck with it hard. Cover up it's cameras disable it from moving etc.

Edit: and even if we had a AI that came across as compassionate and could talk to them it wouldn't be thr same as a human doing it

ha no

i dont think AI will ever be able to do labor work.

What are you talking about? Robots are literally able to build houses

Idk. But definitely not in my lifetime.

I'm a US Army soldier whose job is driving trucks.

The sheer amount of time, money and resources it'd take to replace (all of) our trucks with self-driving trucks won't happen in my lifetime or at least in the time of my career. <_<

Even so, I promise you they ain't about to let convoys roll without people embedded within. At worst, we'll all be remote drivers with security forces attached to the new autonomous convoys.

Poll really needs a maybe option. But in my case, I don't think so. We already use AI to help, but we're always going to need a human's interaction.

hopefully not, i love my job

If Elon is right (lol, he's not), you would basically eliminate the consumer class, which means no one to buy anything, which means the collapse of the world economy

Bullshit. Humans have to check the work for quality.

I mean a lot of my job can already be automated and actually should be if you're good at it. I don't see AI coming in and completely getting rid of me in the near future, though.

I'm a CEO. I have little doubt that I'm technologically replaceable, but you'd better believe that c-suiters will make sure that protections are in place in the corporate world for that cadre of jobs.

Not necessarily.

If the cost to produce stuff is zero, there's no reason to sell it at all. You can just walk into a store and grab whatever.

It probably could eventually, but I don't think it will in the near future.

The capitalists will never capitulate to that.

This system would also require UBI, which the government will never do

nah, requires too much complex thinking and very little room for errors

We are already training AI bots to provide professional therapy. people can't afford therapy anymore and they aren't getting the results they want from therapy.

One day AI will take over everything so yes. Hard to give an actual date but it is inevitable.

In ten thousand years when production costs have been zero for longer than recorded history and nobody has ever heard of money?

MAYBE
I'm in technical sales - a lot of what I run into is helping with anomalies in programming/industrial hardware.
Part of what makes people like working with me is I don't follow the tech support checklist because I know what my customer has already tried.

Technically a different job
