Isn’t it ironic - just a couple of decades ago, science fiction writers, describing the future of humanity, predicted that machines would take over routine, mechanical work, leaving humans free to create. Simply because no machine is capable of creativity! Well, at least that’s what they believed…
Today, AI wins art contests, deftly rewrites Shakespearean sonnets in the style of, say, Drake, and produces ultra-realistic videos of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise fighting on a skyscraper rooftop, in the best traditions of blockbusters. And white-collar workers are already panicking, unable to sleep, fearing that in just a few years, AI will take their jobs. And that’s exactly what we’ll talk about today.

Maths teacher here. If you can find an AI that will get teenagers to stfu and do their work, I'd be all ears.

I work in the logistics department of an IT company.
My job is to make sure that the machines don't make mistakes and document that the machines do a good job. My job is the only one that can't be replaced, which is the human to blame in case of a mistake.

As a high school teacher/principal in a digitally third-world country like Germany, I'm doing my job with about 1/3 of paperwork, 1/3 of social work, and, if I'm lucky enough, the rest of that by getting kids to probably learn something. I guess I'll be here safe until I retire.

I'm a translator, and yes, my job is safe.
How? You might ask... Well, we all know LLMs are trained on data that is published by people and my people will be tentative to share their info/knowledge on the internet. That won't be now nor ever. It'll always lack accuracy.

Nah, I'm genuinely concerned that in 2 years my position will be given to AI. I can see them already implementing various automated stuff that i used to do manually. On the other hand, it makes my job right easier right now, but eventually it'll bring me down.
By the time it happens, I hope to move elsewhere where the manual labour is paid better and start a new life. Somehow the perspective of being a truck driver in the US tempts me. Seems like a decent way to get your start in the new country as an immigrant: not a very desired job by locals, but pays off well.

I am actively training AI to take my job. Kind of messed up.

Im a theatre technician/lighting operator. I sincerely hope so, although it's getting more and more automated.

Right now, yes. I work in banking which is very conservative (not quick to change) plus lots of legal red tape. I imagine that will change in the future.

In a career that could be largely automated tomorrow. The only reason it hasn't been is because the clients don't want it to be. They want personal, human advice talking them through their options. .

I’d like to see chatGPT roll up to work 30 mins late with a hang over and a white monster, check emails for an hour, scroll on the toilet for an hour and then gossip with coworkers before leaving early for a doctors appointment.

I am a teacher of extra curricular classes and also am in charge of all big events at school. I think I’m safe, in my position the personality of a teacher plays the key role.
