We barely do that with cars. Flying is a no-go. Look how long people have been working on those to be pilot less.
None of these will be controlled by AI due to lack of trust.

Also people will be cheaper.
Even trains are limited, and they’re literally on rails and relatively simple operationally, but can’t risk it going off the rails (pun intended) or making poor edge case decisions.
Not an AI fan myself.
Probably because I now need to retrain as my career is vulnerable in the near future.
Thinking of retraining out of IT because I'm not smart enough anymore to outcompete AI + the exceptional people.
I don't want it to write my cover letter or my emails. For me if I start getting it to do that I getting more towards AI just replacing me.
Going to be tough coming back to reality after holiday deciding wtf to do with my life

You don't need to be, there are plenty of IT jobs. The market is small not because of AI because companies don't have the budget like they once did.
But this isn't an IT problem, plenty of brick and mortar shops are cutting back too on hiring for physical work.

Yeah but the tech market is going to just get worse for me. I don't think it's AI taking my job yet. But it will.
I can't be the last person off the sinking ship.
I don't really understand that - whether you choose to use it for that or not has no impact on whether it will replace some job in future.
But for you personally, I'd have a rethink about that sort of approach in general, try to view it more as a productivity tool - you shouldn't want it to generate your cover letter of emails in one shot, you want it to say suggest paragraphs which you then edit/tweak so they're in your voice or flow better etc.
I think "copilot" is a good product name as it describes pretty much how AI should be used at the moment - use it as a copilot/something you work with - the models/agents are good but they're still prone to many of the same issues they were prone to a year or two ago. Even if your job is say configuring cloud stuff don't assume it's necessarily going to be replaced right away - humans are still needed in the loop and if anything getting more used to working with AI and perhaps investing in the skills that will be more in demand with an increase in AI usage might be the way forward here.
If you think AI will take your job because it is repetitive and doesn't require significant or complex reasoning then it is also more likely tour job is simply off-shored or salaries heavily reduced.
Exactly.
I like to to think of AI as moving from a typewriter to MS word with spell and grammar checking. You still need to write the document but it is a lot more efficient , and the efficiency either means reduced writing time, or writing more complex or longer documents in the same time.
Basically yesSo it's an updated version of:
I think AI can do a lot more than just be another clippy.
But where I am no matter what you do to automate some repetitive process. They almost immediately create another one even more repetitive then the last one. Put all sorts of blocks and rules in to make it non standard.
Pretty much never have an undo in their software. So almost as soon as they release an application a huge of support load is created fixing and undoing things. Much of it complex. I don't think they've ever built support tools into an application. They are always an after thought.
That's why AI will struggle. It's trying to be clever, but people are stupid.

Unironically they could actually bring him back and make him more useful now!
If you are good developer anyway, then copilot can increase efficiency. If you are a bad developer then copilot might help on very simple problems but if you rely on it for a complete system it will be catastrophic. If you are are a beginner or a bad developer then depending on copilot will stunt your development.

I don't know why people are worried about Ai taking jobs. The day Ai can replace humans is technically the day no one has to work a day in their lives again and money becomes irrelevant.
Hahaha yea, we'll see how that works out. ...
And food is cheaper again
I 'm predicting that governments are going to step in against the offshoring and AI soon as companies will literally run their costs down to zero if they couldAI isn't coming to rod the drains or fix the roof any time soon
E: you might get some spotty 19 year old turn up without a clue, who then asks AI how-to

It will once it is capable of being robotised and for me personally I cannot wait for that day.
An Ai that can learn to fly in seconds or build a house in a couple of days non stop. It would be fantastic.
I could even instruct my Ai to build replicas of itself. The possibilities would be endless. Only limited by the resources you could get.
It is how you manage the power of it all that will be humans problem because money would be worthless and resources would become the new currency.
