There are good things about AI. But what about the human impact? When the automobile came on the scene, people stopped making horse-drawn wagons and started making cars.
Will we see the same successful job migration with AI? I doubt it. More likely we’ll see the truth of this old saying:
“Idle hands are the devil’s playthings.”
I posted about this a couple of days ago, I’ve been experimenting with AI models from Anthropic, started out with the free version and have since upgraded to the Pro level which is a paid for subscription, $17/month if you pay for the full year in advance, otherwise $20/month.
In my work career, I spent nearly 40 years in IT Tech support, the last 20 programming Cisco Systems router, switches, and voice systems.
I’ve been absolutely blown away with what you can do with minimal technical skills. The biggest skill you need is the ability to understand and clearly communicate with the AI model exactly what you want and how the system should work. The AI model will do the rest and ask you questions along the way and point out different and potentially better ways to accomplish the goal.
For those people with any sort of creativity, you will see an explosion of small independent companies
