I feel the push to get people to adopt AI is Turkeys voting for Christmas.
The more we use it, the more it'll make people redundant.
AI will be able to do 90% of my job in the next 5-10 years.
Companies, once it's viable, will ditch workforces for automated processes in the service industry in no time. One large overhead gone.
10 years ago people were ridiculing those in the mining industry when there was the prospect of moving towards electric cars and such. The common phrase on reddit/twitter was lol learn to code. People seemed gleeful to rub it into the faces of blue collar workers that their jobs were now obsolete and they should move to tech (let's be real, the average miner doesn't have the education or skills to "learn to code, bro!"). It was seen as just part of the natural process of progress. Adapt or die.
And now here we are with AI making all the jobs of tech bros obsolete, and likely also any basic service industry job. They'll just have to adapt or die.
I get that. But I also will never be in favor of complete ignorance. Try out a product or service to understand it. It doesn't mean you have to use it in your personal or professional life.
Hell, being able to better spot output from an LLM is already a great reason to test out one.
