edited from talent to job
LLMs. Clearly they suck at their job and an AI should take over.
None. Sorry just my opinion.
Look at the unemployment numbers. Tell me it’s a good idea to have less jobs.
Influencers… Need I say more.
Already happening. Except they aren’t replacing them, they’re just adding AI to the pool.
My daughter is way into this thing.
Hatsune Miku is not an AI influencer she’s a character mascot of a vocal synthesizer software. There’s no AI involved.
Okay, but “she’s” not real and “she” endorses stuff. Seems close enough.
Uuh, no? It’s just a mascot…
They said replaced, not gotten rid of.
Any body-breaking heavy labour. Emphasis on body-breaking; there’s nothing wrong with hard work, but there are certain people that believe hard work = leaving your body destroyed at 50.
Reform tax law and get rid of 90% of the IRS. Computers could do all that shit if we simplified the system. Will never happen, though.
That doesn’t even require AI, just regular old-fashioned traditional software
Most other countries don’t make you do the math and then guess how much you owe, and give you jail time if you guess incorrectly.
Information handling and data entry!
The only full job I can think of is assistant to a busy person. I don’t think any whole jobs are done better by ai. Some of the jobs recommended in this thread would be better to be removed rather than replaced.
So, I think ai makes a better assistant to a person doing a job rather than a replacement to compete a job on its own. It can write rough drafts that a talented writer can expand and edit. It can quickly generate several plans that an experienced leader can pick from or discard. It can look through a designer’s portfolio and spit out “new” combinations of their past designs that the designer can then build upon.
Any one of these jobs could give up and submit the AI’s output as their own, but I think the quality of the results would suffer.
Preface: I work in AI, and on LLM’s and compositional models.
None, frankly. Where AI will be helpful to the general public is in providing tooling to make annoying tasks (somewhat) easier. They’ll be an assisting technology, rather than one that can replace people. Sadly, many CEO’s, including the one where I work, either outright lie or are misled into believing that AI is solving many real-world problems, when in reality there is very little or zero tangible involvement.
There are two areas where (I think) AI will actually be really useful:
-
Healthcare, particularly in diagnostics. There is some cool research here, and while I am far removed from this, I’ve worked with some interns that moved on to do really cool stuff in this space. The benefit is that hallucinations can actually fill in gaps, or potentially push towards checking other symptoms in a conversational way.
-
Assisting those with additional needs. IMO, this is where LLM’s could be really useful. They can summarize huge sums of text into braille/speech, they can provide social cues for someone that struggles to focus/interact, and one surprising area where they’ve been considered to be great (in a sad but also happy way) is in making people that rely on voice assistants feel less lonely.
In both of these areas you could argue that a LLM might replace a role, although maybe not a job. Sadly, the other side to this is in the American executive mindset of “increasing productivity”. AI isn’t a push towards removing jobs entirely, but squeezing more productivity out of workers to enable the reduction of labor. It’s why many technological advancements are both praised and feared, because we’ve long reached a point where productivity is as high as it has ever been, but with jobs getting harder, pay becoming worse and worse, and execs becoming more and more powerful.
I was super nervous AI would replace me, a programmer. So i spent a long time learning, hosting, running, and coding with models, and man did I learn a lot, and you’re spot on. They’re really cool, but practical applications vs standard ML models are fairly limited. Even the investors are learning that right now, that everything was pure hype and now we’re finding out what companies are actually using AI well.
There are a fair number of “developers” that I think will be displaced.
There was a guy on my team from an offshoring site. He was utterly incompetent and never learned. He produced garbage code that didn’t work. However he managed to stay in for about 4 years, and even then he left on his own terms. He managed to go 4 years and a grand total of 12 lines of code from him made it into any codebase.
Dealing with an LLM was awfully familiar. It reminded me of the constant frustration of management forcing me to try to work with him to make him productive. Excrpt the LLM was at least quick in producing output, and unable to go to management and blame everyone else for their shortcomings.
He’s an extreme case, but in large development organizations, there’s a fair number of mostly useless developers that I think LLM can rationalize away to a management team that otherwise thinks “more people is better and offshoring is good so they most be good developers”.
Also, enhanced code completion where a blatantly obvious input is made less tedious to input.
I’ll give you that one. LLMs in their current state help me write code that otherwise I would be putting off or asking someone else to do. Not because it’s hard but because I’ve done it 1000 times and I find it tedious, and I’d expect an entrylevel/jr to take it with stride. Even right now I’m using it to write some python code that otherwise I just don’t want to write. So, I guess it’s time to uplevel engineers. The bar has been raised, and not for the first time in our careers.

The kind of dangerous jobs where people still get payed to risk their life and health.
AI SWAT Teams?
AI Soldiers?
AI Politicians? (assasination risks)
🤔
Last thing we need is a politician that can be copy-pasted.
robot construction workers
robot ocean divers
robot miners
robot truckers
…
drones are already fighting wars, btw
Drones are piloted and controlled by humans, not AI.
Yeah, my first thoughts were search and rescue, underwater welding, mining, etc
Most of those should be replacement with robotics
Currently very few jobs should be replaced with AI. But many jobs should be augmented with AI. Human-in-the-loop AI amplify the finate resource of smart humans.
All of them. But first we need a basic income on our way away from money.
My greatest fear is we’ll get the robots (like, Animatrix: Second Renaissance of I, Robot general purpose robots) but before we have any sort of progressive change of revolution. That we’ll be one step from a truly carefree life.
None.
CEO, politician… I guess that’s it. Except I don’t actually want an AI making our laws for us. That would be a catastrophe.
None, not because it can’t but because if it does then people won’t be able to make an income. This is already a problem.
Cars put horses out of business but the economy adapted
