“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
— Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park
OpenAI, the people who brought you ChatGPT, teamed up with the University of Pennsylvania recently to study the effects and possible fallout of the implementation of AI in the American workplace. Their findings were not good. Well, not good if you happen to be a person who depends on a job for the money you need to feed your family, buy clothes, and keep a roof over your head. On the other hand, if you are a one-percenter or someone who aspires to live off of government largesse for the rest of your life, the news is either ho-hum or excellent.
Researchers discovered that for many jobs, 15% of all tasks done by humans could be completed faster and with the same level of quality by AI.
According to a report in The Daily Mail, white-collar jobs are at the highest risk. For now. But trust me, I’ve seen the videos. If you are in the trades, it won’t be too long before you could get a robot “helper” that eventually becomes your robot replacement.
The study listed the jobs that would be endangered by AI. Leading the list in terms of percentage of exposure were mathematicians, tax preparers, accountants, auditors, financial analysts, legal secretaries, journalists, reporters, and writers and authors. Actually, many writers I have met over the years have been just this side of broke, anyway, so that’s no surprise. But web designers also made the list. So much for learning to code, I suppose. Although search marketing researchers and graphic designers are relatively safe by comparison. Investment fund and financial managers are not in the woods.

I've worked on equipment that could replace these two.
Just a matter of time.
Blue collar skilled labor jobs are good to go for a long time.
It will do better.
It will print them with or without the mortar. One big brick surface if you want it.
It has already been done.
There are portions of my job that AI could impact. But I’m not worried about the extremely valuable human portion of my job, that will probably never go away until there is a 100% android takeover of the utility industry.
Whew Hoo!
Hampster underwear tag maker aint on the list!
I’m safe!
LOL...the lowly human falling the robot gets to strike the joints.
Affirmative action robot?
I’ve seen this in operation. They are actually pouring full houses in Texas. They look like crap too. But someone will buy em.

Musk has the nerve to call for a ban when he was one of the creators of this technology.
