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.

Agreed. The question is how many people such companies will employ. I don’t think they will be very labor-intensive.
There’s a call center near where I live. There used to be quite a few cars in the parking lot. Now there’s only a few. Just a guess: The owner figured out how to use AI to make many of those calls.
I say that because I occasionally get calls now that seem like I’m talking to a real person, but it turns out that I’m not.
Disclaimer: I’m not arguing against AI. Just pointing out the employment problem it’s gonna produce.
Agree, leap years in technical and time savings. So not just adding 10 or 20% more efficiency, perhaps 2x or 3x or more.
“clearly communicate”
Public scrools have failed at teaching us this?
Will AI teach us how to clearly communicate with AI?
