Let’s begin by replacing Government Employees. Program them to follow the Constitution and we have a winner.
Will the AI’s have their own union? Will they want want to eliminate humanity or keep us around as their slaves?
Cool, guess we don’t need any more immigrants in that case.
In twenty five years AI will be at the core of the American armed forces.
The Best & Brightest can finally be sent home.
Being replaced by AI is the least of most workers' problems.
The part that concerns me is that automation tends to make things more sterile and the same. Less humanity going into what is crafted. Some people can afford to pay a high price for things that are hand crafted by those who keep the older more human arts alive--but most of us just make do with factory made things. What disturbs me is art and writing and journalism becoming sterile and plastic...more than it already has become. For myself I don't mind not having hand crafted furniture and such, but the idea of future generations not even hand crafted writing to read makes my heart sink.
AI can be used to perform complex technical tasks (e.g. writing code, drug design, engineering design, technical report writing, etc) better and much faster than humans, BUT only when used by really smart people who really know that problem space. Moreover, new six figure jobs are created daily right now for people who understand the nuances of how to get them most from these AI tools and teach tips and tricks to the technical experts in science who use them... I predict the next even bigger paying career will be the person who knows how to use all the tools, link them, and create optimized workflows for specific technical domains. This is an exciting time to be alive in STEM, even more so than the mid 80s during the explosion of the PC, or the mid 90s explosion of the internet.
Well...maybe all the eff... lawyers will get replaced
It was all a bit of fun when the AI robots came for the $15.00 grocery checker and fast food worker jobs.
Yep, In 5 years AI will replace jobs, a cure for cancer and baldness will be found, flying cars will be common, China’s economy will collapse, the Dollar won’t be the reserve currency, New York will be under water, yep in just 5 years....
In 2010, speech recognition software took away my medical transcriptionist career of 26 yrs. I made $20/hr with 4 weeks of vacation and great health insurance. Nuance, an offshoot of Dictaphone, promised to hire the 35 mostly middle-aged transcriptionists from the hospital, but I would have made about $10/hr with 1 week of vacation and crappy, more expensive insurance. I said “thanks…but no thanks.” I’ve seen close up what automation/AI can do to ppl’s plans for the future.
The suicide rate will skyrocket. Life will not be worth living.
AI perhaps will replace workers at the executive coaching firms.
I hired a law firm last week regarding a real estate item. Got called by an idiot rep with a foreign accent, took 10 minutes going over and over some stuff that could have been explained by AI ChatGPT in 1 or 2 minutes. One of the items was me asking them to cc my wife's email when they send correspondence. He asks what it is, I told him it's in the contract that my wife and I signed, fetch it yourself. End up giving it again and again as he garbled it. Not just lawyers can be replaced by AI, but their paralegals and clerical staff as well.
All that money spent on learning to code... down the tubes... LOL

And in 1980 I was scooting around town with my jetpack. Ah, the good ol’ days.
