It’s not like a light switch... more like the moment you realize the water has been rising around you and is now at your chest.
"I think the honest answer is that nothing that can be done on a computer is safe in the medium term. If your job happens on a screen (if the core of what you do is reading, writing, analyzing, deciding, communicating through a keyboard) then AI is coming for significant parts of it. The timeline isn’t “someday.” It’s already started." - Matt Shumer
The next decade is going to be.. interesting. my anti-ai stance is still there, but I I know the world is moving fast.
A friend sent me this article, and she's working in an industry where copy and text-driven tasks remains the main focus. Not artistry, just text and data. They fired 90% of the company staff 6 months ago. The CEOs getting richer, yes, but at some point there are not enough consumers to keep them rich surely? Well, The CEO in this case, didn't realise his company delivered work to another company, that an AI model could just do instead. So all of his 11 clients cancelled on him. His entire brand and company just become irrelevant.
I'm just posting this a little sad and annoyed and tired.
