Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

A lot of people realize that AI isn't going to take that many jobs, and it's just a paranoid talking point.
I use AI tools in my job... the vast majority of them constantly break and who has to fix that? Me. They break themselves with feature updates...
the AI panick is just fear of automation. automation often produces different kinds of jobs while it reduces others. also it increases throughput, meaning you need more workers.
Automation reduces repetitive common tasks. It always fails when a task is outside the average range. The more complex a task, the lower the probability is to achieve successful automation.
What the techbros and billionaires don't understand is that most jobs that exist today are because of their difficulty in automating already. Seemingly simple jobs have hidden complexity.
Since my job is highly complex, non-repetative, with a very high degree of non-recorded specialized knowledge, my fear of a LLM replacing me approaches zero.
Ironic: the same troll (Facedeer) complained people were too paranoid about job loss:
But what's a troll without inconsistent rhetoric...
