[@haihengh]

He was being lied to, or we all being lied to thinking the more virtual, brain relatives works, the better the future there will be, and people think AI is not going to replace human in area that require creativity, like art. The problem for most art is, they are nothing more than copy paste different previously created arts to generate new ones, which is exactly the how the whole machine learning model training works, and computer can do it much better than human. People can predict AI is coming 5 years ago, but they wrongly predict where AI took off from. They think AI will replace burger flipping job first, people thinking taking art degree will be AI proof. That is what happened.

One thing new people in the work force are rarely taught nowadays is the importance of institutional knowledge. There is such a huge focus on Education and people think if they have a degree that is enough. Education gets you in the door and institutional knowledge keeps you there. Bonus points for common sense/street smarts. Once you get a job at a company you want to do everything you can to gain institutional knowledge and from personal experience people don't want to give that up for free, but volunteering for scut work will help a lot with gaining respect from co-workers and that will go a long way to getting institutional knowledge

@@SloRush Yes. Now read what I wrote and listen to what the guy said. Only having to work 2 to 3 hours was a recent change, he wasn't getting enough requests to keep him busy anymore, prior to that, he was doing full days of work and was unable to take vacation because the entire company was dependent on his work. That change in workload came about because the company was, behind his back, implementing AI. In short, any time during the planning and implementation phases, they could have let him know he was going to be out of a job if the implementation worked out. That they did not speaks very poorly of them. That he did not wonder why his workload suddenly lightened massively speaks very poorly of his powers of perception.

[@1337Jogi]

It will take way longer though. The thing with AI is that it scales extremely well. Since Robots are phyical objects they scale horribly. Unless you have a very specific repetitive task. It will take forever until robots replace electricians, technicians and so on. A humanoid robot is very expensive. Cost will come down but it will take along time until they will be chaper than you are. A robot of a specific form like a car, warehouse-machine, a checkout register, a tractor or combine to work the field - that is relatively easy to build.

[@ManicMindTrick]

Yeah but the robotics side will be last last piece if the puzzle to slide into place. When that happens humans are obselete. Things are going to get very weird. That is best case scenario as well. Worst case scenario is that we create an AI in the coming months who manage to figure out self improvement which leads to a positive feedback loop and it wipes out humanity. A lot of people think that has zero probability, but a lot of people on the cutting edge of AI who aren't blinded by their bias and enthusiasm realize its a possibility. We dont know what happens when you scale up these models further. You just need to reach that threshold where self improvement is possible and we dont really know when that is going to be or the mechanism for how that plays out. My suggestion is to do the things in life you always wanted to do before its too late and try your best to pause AGI development. If humanity was wise we would stop all training of models more powerful that GPT 4. Its not going to happen.

The whole economy is about to be made redundant. The system as we know it is simply going to be obscolete with AI developing at this pace. When the economy collapses, it won't be like the 2008 crash or the great depression, but a collapse of the concept of money as a whole.

[@acbeaumo]

Good point. Someone will create a new product that replaces the entire company. It doesn't even necessarily have to use AI.

[@Tejroe]

What this means is that rather than everyone losing their jobs to AI, entire companies will lose industries to AI. If a company can replace an employee with AI, the logical next step is for another company using AI to step in and take market share from that company. The market will be saturated with AI vs AI, where there’s no discerning between companies anymore. And unfortunately, this will happen with every industry that AI can affect. I’m an MEP engineer, at a certain point it will come for our industry too, where weeks of AutoCAD and Revit work, arguing with architects and clients, and dealing with contractors will become entirely engineered buildings within a fraction of a second per the client’s request. If the client wants an extra room, or more ceiling height, or whatever, just tell AI and it will regenerate there building again rather than take a week to review and work on. But if a company can “hire” AI for that, then any company can do it, and we’re out of work too. The only fields that are protected anymore (At least for now) are trade fields.

[@crazynorm]

This is already happening, it's part of my current dev job to create tools to incorporate AI for a large company. Other companies will be doing the same.

[@kronos6460]

Most trades won't be protected. For new builds if an entire house can be 3d printed, robots can easily do all the plumbing/wiring etc based on predetermined schematics incredibly easily, meaning only repairs in existing properties will temporarily escape AI. Yet I can go on youtube and learn to build a roof professionally in a very short period of time, the only reason (other than not needing a new roof rn) is I work 40 hours a week and don't have time to do it myself. If I was unemployed with 50% of the workforce due to AI I could easily learn to do 70% of the trade work I'd need in my own home. The only exceptions would be some technically difficult skills (laying brick well is damn hard without a lot of experience) or things that are very knowledge intense such as electrics that you could screw up badly.

[@mrECisME]

Would you trust an AI to design a house without human oversight?

Probably introduce mutations to the generation and use consumer feedback to evolve it. Thats basically what human artists do anyway. Take the same concepts, tools and techniques then change them a little and maybe make money if enough people like it. A lot of people miss just how similarly AI generation works to human imagination, which is literally just the random combination of that humans memories and experiences.

[@mercurialblonde]

@@Erowens98 that's really not how human creativity works. There are also guardrails on AI by the bean counters that will keep it from doing truly wild dangerous art. All great new art pisses off the past generations, but AI gives those generations the ability to simply delete anything that doesn't conform. They want to control both the input and the output. Idiots think these tools will be left for the average joe to do what they want with. No, you will be given the illusion of creativity and you will stay within the parameters the system allows. You will be nothing more than brain juice for the technozombies to harvest from a dead reality.

[@Erowens98]

@@mercurialblondeYes, that is exactly how human creativity works according to the currently most widely accepted theories. Creativity is not he mystical idealization most artists seen to think it is. Its a neurobiological algorithm based on some kind of logic, just like everything else your brain does. And it only take one company to remove the guardrails and then the cats out of the bag. Its actually already been done, just not on the most popular algorithms. So that's not really a strong argument. You're absolutely right AI will be used to control. But that's not gonna stop it from being used to out compete human artists along with eventually every other intellectual labor position.

Exactly. I see this all the time. Especially from those higher up. It doesn't matter who you are, CEO dies unexpectedly? They'll be replaced and the company moves on. Thus...even you are replaceable.

[@joshanonline]

@@marceldiezasch6192 Similar at my current company: Managers fired a few 'bad workers' and pushed the rest *hard* until most good workers also quit. The company was unstable and lost a lot of money and clients for a year. Manager was depressed and wanted to quit. (I overheard meetings when I joined lol) But I fixed a lot of her problems. The reward? Pushed more work onto me and demanded ridiculous perfection. I snapped and argued. She threatened to fire me and the 3rd time, told her to just do it and fk off. I'm not a robot. Then she pushed some of my load onto other workers and they felt like breaking lol They wanted to quit. They all argued. She loosened some restrictions and helped more. Sadly, one of our best quit and now 1 worker + 2 managers have to take his place lol! Managers regret losing him every single day. Their ego just won't allow them to say it tho. Plus they don't want to make us think they need us. Well, they do if they want current company results, praised nationwide by higher executives. The guys that quit found way better jobs. And most of the fired ones also got better jobs. Unfortunately, things are getting harder in the job market now.

I am a devops engineer and software developer. I do not see AI as immediate threat as even the best models we have now are really terrible at grasping the full complexity of large systems and codebases. Considering that LLMs seem to be plateauing, this job market seems to be quite safe for now. However with AI being much better for entry level work than junior devs, my worry is that we will see the full impact on maybe 10-20 years when it will be extremely difficult to find skilled people who suffered through many AI-solvable problems without using AI, learning the necessary problem-solving skills to even be able to become senior in the first place. So my prediction is that the impact will be significant, but indirect and delayed.

@@bliantfive I freelance here and there because I can. It looks like a couple of people have already answered your question, but here’s my two cents. If you love graphic design, keep doing it and be smart about it. Embrace AI tools to help you work faster and better. If you create innovative designs, AI can’t beat you because it mostly just replicates existing artwork. There’s something about the human touch that AI can never replace. Like Asmon said, graphic designers are problem solvers, so focus on how you can solve problems. I’ve seen a lot of young designers making shorts and TikTok videos where they redesign logos for companies that need better ones. Showcasing your skills like that can be really effective. When I was in graphic design school, we didn’t touch much on animation, 3D modeling, or coding, so now is a great time to expand your skill set if you don't have those. Also, selling your physical products can be a great start-lots of people are making money on TikTok doing that. If you can find a mentor, that would be amazing. I wish I had one when I was younger. I think one of the best pieces of advice Gary Vee gave was to intern somewhere if you're young and able. It's a great way to meet people and network.

I also work from home, most people in my team do now! If one aspect gets replaced by AI I hopefully will always have other things i'm relied on to do.

Quick tip from a 50 year old in the mortgage industry that is famous for layoffs during slow downs. When you have any free time at work, ask to learn other positions. Learn as many positions as you can. Yeah, it sucks but not as much as losing your job. My comapny just laid off 6 out of the 8 people in my department. I worked there as a temp for 2 years. They laid off 4 employees and 2 other temps. They kept me and hired me on as an employee. This only happened because I learned 3 different positions over those 2 years. Now I'm in charge of 2 different areas and I'll be the one hiring people when it picks up again. I never say no to anything at work. If I'm asked if I can do something, the answer is always yes.

You can have an AI to make a tetris or bejeweled clone, but you can't make a full package game with tight gameplay, good story, and great art without any input from humans. You can automate some jobs (heck new Unreal Engine updates basically will kill or reduce a lot of people in VFX, texture artist, map designer, etc) but some humans will still need to give input for some foreseeable future.
