Which career path is not ruined by AI? (lemmy.zip)

I'm kind of sick of being a dev. I hate AI with a passion.

I hate the hallucinations, I hate slop, I hate megacrops, I hate the environmental impacts, I hate the massive costs. I could go on but you get the picture.

At work I often times have to review vibe code slop from people who clock in 9 to 5 and don't give a fuck (I respect that, I just wish your fucking code wasn't slop)

I'm sick of it, I'm sick of hearing about AI tooling or new models or bro agentic actions bro based on your documentation bro.

I want to switch careers, so which career is not ruined by AI?

i went into a dying trade in my 20s ugh and stuck with it now i'm too old to start a new one outside of maybe CDL. so yeah make sure you are physically up to it first (i am in very good shape for my age and look 10 years younger but i would be obliterated by the multiple year "break in" apprentice period again and likely would just get in a fist fight with someone trying to "break me" and destroy them and go to prison or vice versa)

Maybe I just skipped it because I was a factory tech for a while but there was no "breaking" in my experience. The worst we have is a tendancy to throw aprentices into being full techs a bit too quick sometimes.
