When will ai take your jop ?;
- Within 2 to 6 months
- Within 6 to 12 months
- One year to 2 years
- 2 years to 4 years
- 4 to 6 years
- 6 years to 8
- I don’t know and I am lazy to ask that question to AI
- Already AI take my job better than me

AI can’t do physical labor. Maybe robots could, but they can’t deliver the personal warmth and charisma. At least for quite some time.
Let’s see how this post ages.

AI can never replace my aura.
I think that’s the way to move forward.
Developing a unique aura and monetizing it…

As a software engineer having worked on high level confidential command control in domains related to critical manufacture industries, energy, and defense…
One part of me think “C-suite won’t get stupid enough to let a robot take that kind of job, not when we have such requirement for quality, precision, and robustness.”
Another part thinks “With us engineers using AI to speed up development and stubbornly correcting it, it might get good enough to greatly reduce the amount of people needed on the job.”
Well, we’ll see this soon enough with the quickly incoming Quantum AI revolution in the 2030’s (aka the start of the Singularity event)
Also @Parsifal I’d say another big point as to why robots haven’t replaced manual labor completely yet, is that it’s too expensive as of now, with the highly specialized robots. (Hence why it’s more expensive jobs, such as surgeons, that are getting replaced)
Though we’re starting to get robot maids in some hotels to do laundry and fold.
Edit: Almost forgot, but when C-suites and governments get replaced by AI agents, it’ll most likely be over for most high paying jobs lmaoo (and we’ll get there, we’re already trying to implement smart cities more and more)

It’s inevitable that some jobs (and skills) get lost with the AI “revolution”, like with the adoption of the computer, the electricity, etc. Many jobs (and new skills) were also created since then. Maybe it will be different this time; perhaps not.
The best you personally can do is to adapt to the change. Don’t refuse it.

It’s still always “reduce” though. Maybe farther out in the future, but I doubt careers that embrace AI as a tool rather than a threat will be threatened anytime soon. We have algorithms to diagnose tumors, yet it’s still technicians and doctors using them. Senior-level software engineers using AI to improve their workflow, etc. Basically, if the job is intellectual to still need some kind of oversight (or art where human creativity is something that’s valued), I doubt we’ll see a complete AI takeover. Layoffs maybe, but most people here are the kind that would adapt to the new market rather than stay a victim for very long.

I believe most AI available at the moment are mostly supervisor learning models and algorithms to gather data as much as possible.
Then from the enormous data, it will be used to train and build the real AI where it can function and work on it own. This can take another decade like how internet adapts in and changes the world.
In the meantime, data gather is serve as for controlling and monitoring for governments. Think smart camera, smart ID card, then smart EVs, smart cities, etc. “Smart” means recordable and monitorable lol. Or think Social Credit system in China.

I took a picture and asked gpt where I was. It saw big clock and said you are in London!
Big clock and all.
Six months later I uploaded the same picture and it said “you are on the corner of broad street and spring garden. Ahead is the Philadelphia inquirer building, to your left is city hall and to your right is liberty place.”
It took it six months to be dead correct. Six months to go from I see big clock so London to picking out multiple land marks and correctly getting the intersection.
I think with gpt 5 they focused on driving cost per search down but suspect capability could have scaled instead.
Sometimes I’ll ask it something and it will be basic logic. Sometimes I’ll ask it something and it’ll pull connections I didn’t make.
It won’t be long. It’ll be a bumpy transition but in a decade I think things will be better.
