AI created and destroyed a job in less than a year (Prompt Engineering). The machine is better at prompting itself rather than any human... the horizon for jobs, as stated in the video, is a joke

[@greengoblin9567]

Since AI will be able to do anything, working hard to learn new skills is a waste of time. Now it is impossible to get ahead and you are frozen in your socioeconomic rank.

[@dorukyalcinsoy]

@@greengoblin9567 don't be too pesimistic. Human skills will be more valuable, train on communication, content creation etc. that are solving some sort of problems. There will always money flowing around.

[@jay_wright_thats_right]

@@dorukyalcinsoy nicely said

[@StanleyKingChan]

it was never a job. it's just another skill just like googling. prompting is more than sufficient of a word. advanced, technical, professional, etc could be added to make it more specific.

[@imsorryyourewelcome]

I'd really like to see more Justin Farris. Dude was obviously knowledgeable, overtly hesitant to make sweeping statements this early on, and crystal-clear about what he thinks and why. I am deeply surprised that I couldn't find more videos of him on KZbin.

[@JulioMacarena]

Prompting will be gone in 5 years, or even less. Someone will just ask AI to solve a problem (of any sort) and it will go off and do it - even if it has to teach itself how to do an aspect of it. Let's not try to obfuscate the fact that it won't take that many people to ask AI things.

[@jay_wright_thats_right]

Asking AI to do something is prompting.

[@JulioMacarena]

@@jay_wright_thats_right not any more than asking a human employee to do something can be called 'prompting'. The word has taken on a very different meaning in the context of current AI.

[@rustyshackleford2841]

NO ONE KNOWS!!!! Anything we can think of is like the “ learn to code” that lasted a spam of a few years. AI gets to a point where it benefits more by experimenting than by being told. When ai starts experimenting, it has the potential to learn at lightning speed.

[@barbararoman9313]

We’re about to find out. What is your guess time wise? I say 6months to year.

[@rustyshackleford2841]

@@barbararoman9313 I could not accurately tell you. Since I really don’t know if current rumors are true, that ai has reached agi. After reaching agi, it has the potential to learn in months, days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, what could take us years to learn. Scary stuff, but exciting, we could have a potential friend that can do that. My guess….you’re probably right, we are in a “months” evolution cycle. Let’s see what 2024 brings…

[@NikoKun]

I honestly don't believe anyone who claims AI will create more new jobs than it displaces.. That claim is obvious nonsense, and ignores the very nature of what automating human cognition implies. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a doomer, and I see plenty of benefits and major improvements to society that AI could bring.. But if we're talking about "jobs" under capitalism, AI will only create new opportunities, for a small minority. The benefits will make it worth it, and we cannot stop the progress either way, however the implications of AI demand we let go of outdated mentalities and justifications for how we do things, that no longer make sense. We cannot require everyone compete, when super intelligent AI out competes them, nor can their ability to compete determine how we distribute resources to people. Major things about our society MUST change ASAP!

[@jay_wright_thats_right]

You're just talking and contradicting yourself. LOL!

[@NikoKun]

@@jay_wright_thats_right Then don't just say that, explain what part of what I said, you think is a contradiction.

[@bigbadallybaby]

I agree that "prompt engineering" as a job will change rapidly over the next 3 years and might vanish in 5 years altogether as a skill set as Ai gets more and more sophisticated and intuative to what you want it to do. the same with most computer programming

[@danielliang3842]

A programmer will be akin to a poet in the future- not getting paid, but as a hobby.

[@josemosqueramoncaleano1711]

@@danielliang3842 Interesting way to view it.... I think you're onto something 😮

[@Blondul11]

Programming won't disappear in the next 5 years. It might change, but not disappear.

[@s0kulite]

Effective prompt engineering is mostly a soft skill, it depends on **execution**. If a company is already fully leveraging AI, for instance, by integrating all corporate data into highly optimized semantic vector databases, or by refining an existing large language model with proprietary data (albeit a less secure and costlier), then there's no need for a skilled prompt engineer with domain/company knowledge. However, for a business to be *fully* integrated with AI, it must be served on a robust information backbone, (eg: Pinecone for queries), this "backbone" requires so much investment and commitment, unless they're doing it from a start, sometimes a competent prompt engineer can achieve the same results.

[@verb0ze]

Prompt engineering is essentially programming rebranded for the AI craze. It's basically instructing a computer to perform tasks, only instead of using, say Java, one uses English. Learning Java by itself is useless. Learning Java to solve the problem of building a backend for an ecommerce store is more valuable

[@johndowland4623]

bright future yeah.. before ai already there were 10 jobs for developers with 800 applicants each after 1 day from publication, now we'll have 2 jobs as "prompt engineers" instead, with 3500 (+ another 4000 since it's super easy to learn) applicants each.

[@patrickparson9628]

I was hoping someone else saw this for what it is.

[@patrickparson9628]

I'm floored by the shameless lying going on here. There are more people unemployed now than there have ever been before. What on earth are these people talking about? The layoffs in IT over the last 3 years have been staggering. There were more layoffs in IT in 2023 than every other field in every other year combined. I'm disgusted by this level of dishonesty.

[@FrozenAfricaPrincess]

The facial analysis screening is just sooo dystopian, HR phrenology in other words. Have the people who invent and implement these technologies never read a book before? Don't they know how these types of scenarios play out??

[@bigmotherdotai5877]

AI capabilities only improve each year, they never get worse (this goes for any technology). Project that forwards 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100+ years. As AI technology monotonically improves - forever - it will gradually be able to do more and more economic tasks (jobs) currently performed by humans both better and more cheaply than any human. Even the "new" jobs, ostensibly created by AI, will eventually be better performed by AI than any human; if you don't think that's the case, then you're simply not projecting far enough forwards. (Some jobs, e.g. ballet dancer, will be extremely difficult to automate, but, as each year and decade passes, such jobs will become rarer and rarer.) No employer, either private or public sector, is ever going to employ a human to do a worse job than a machine (AI) for more money. Therefore, if you project this trend far enough into the future (not just 5 or 10 years, but 5 or 10 decades, or more) then the long-term trend is that, in the limit, all goods and services will be produced by machines, and humans will not be involved in production at all, only in consumption (100% unemployment). Thus (assuming that we don't self-destruct in the interim), the long-term societal changes induced by AI will be profound, broadly equivalent to an ice age. The vast amounts of wealth generated by AI (conservatively estimated to have a net present value of $13.5 quadrillion) will need to be redistributed, and this will of course be resisted by vested interests, leading to massive wealth inequality, both within and between nation states. Accordingly, it's a little more complicated than "should my children do a prompt engineering degree". They will be lucky to have jobs at all.

[@JulioMacarena]

And exponentially.

[@luukasmus9213]

why are there so few people that actually have this standpoint, i swear everyone is just living in willful ignorance

[@FreeDumb101]

This is all cope. AI hasn't been user friendly for the past decade. ChatGPT changed that. Microsoft is about to bring it to the masses. The next decade will be completely different.

[@mrsrhardy]

Ai is allowing me to be more creative! Now I can generate an intro music clip with an animation and even have a custom one/into for each video I create. I can now Ai script and even read or voice-over sections in say, winston's churchills voice. Its making me more effective a story teller IMO. The better Ai gets the better I can get my message accross.

[@GaganXT]

I think the major hit will be for the software engineer's they pass exam and then learn high programming language but here we have an ai who knows better code then a college guy

[@fritzdeuces]

New Jobs of the AI Age like what... Prepper?

[@Donut-God]

Humans could be reduced to "sensors for ai systems" in what we perceive to be objective reality. If Ai progresses, the main bottleneck will be material based as hardware for Compute or Engineered interfacing with the physical world similar to the 5 sense humans use to model reality. LLMs are using language to model reality currently. The Probabilistic Rendering of "Words and Context" models reality quite well.

[@marcinros2390]

Prompt engineerig will be just a history in 2 years..

[@boonkiathan]

its like you don't steer your children to be "a keyboard user" prompting is a tool, a skill that is built on human language, having expertise will be increasingly relevant to all professional work

[@chaitanyabalanagu626]

I was waiting for their discussion about the best domain to learn from scratch to become a better prompt engineer.

[@opeyemiojutiku1264]

Comparative advantage will keep people employed using their innate abilities and tastes to customize goods and services for themselves and others. AI and robots and ...are tools that extend the range of what we already have and maybe meet new needs.

[@henrytep8884]

The problem is AI aren’t tools. Unless we understand them as children of our creation, we’re not going to orient our beliefs for the inevitable for AI. Thinking of them as just tools is a weird framing. Are dogs just tools to us? Are our pets just tools? No, and ai is going to be more sentient then those creatures and possibly more sentient than us. Not sure on the probability of being smarter than us but it’s probably smarter than ever other animal on the planet.

[@vancouverlife1]

@@henrytep8884 They are just tools that make life easier for now. Some people imagine that someday they might be more and that might eventually come true. It isn't yet reality.

[@henrytep8884]

@@vancouverlife1 are dogs and cats just tools?? I’m hinging my argument on the sentience of animals vs the sentience of ai. At this point AI is more sentient than many living organisms. But I that it is not reality yet, the expectation and potential for ai is not the same as the reality of ai.

[@EffectiveMuscle]

​@@henrytep8884AI is software. It can't feel. So no, it's not sentient. Even when it surpasses the boundaries of human intelligence, it will still not be sentient. Software can't feel pain or a loving embrace like a pet can.

Prompt "engineering"? Is that a term youtube engineers (vloggers) dreamed up? Or was it the media engineers (journalists)? Maybe I'll go ask my mum the kitchen engineer (housewife). Would Prompt scientist or Prompt chef work as well? Calling something engineering doesn't magically make it so.
