How will orders of magnitude improved AI affect your job?
It won’t. I am a power systems Dispatcher, and I can 100% guarantee you that linemen would never rely on computer programs to be running the grid when SHTF. They would strike first, and until robots can do line work, it isn’t going to happen. There are portions on my job that could be done by AI in the future to be sure, such as forecasting power and power sales, but there’s got to be a human at the helm.
