    Depends.

    My main job it would be interesting. I mainly plan for organisations how to handle disasters. Not necessarily IT disasters but actual one - what happens if your hospital is on fire, your airline has hundreds of people stranded somewhere (yeah, we had a bad time recently), your muncipial water supply goes bad, the Russians actually come,etc.

    If AI can do that on a level it replaces my staff and me…well…good for everyone else,because right now it’s a underdeveloped and rarely looked upon issue.

    In my side job I am still working in my original trade as a critical care paramedic. Until AI can fully replace one there it will take a long time (but we see a lof of actually beneficial developments that makes the job insanely more easy and capable) and I am very likely retired by then. What is far more likely is that societies won’t be able to pay for proper healthcare anymore…and that would be “not replaced” technically, I guess.

    I’m not convinced that there’s enough training data for it to be good in my specialization anytime soon. And it certainly won’t be trusted for safety critical applications even if that were to happen.

    That being said I’m very, very, glad to not be in CS or law where there is nearly endless data to train on.

    If AI takes my job it’s already taken everyone else’s job. So non I guess.

    Seriously though if it gets to that point, and I don’t think it will I think AI is overhyped, governments are going to have to either put up or get lynched.

    I don’t believe that will happen permanently. I’m a Sysadmin currently working in client support I don’t think ai will drive around town and fix laptops for the clients bit if it ever does AI still needs servers to run on. Also something with Wood maybe?

      Or like other IT jobs, there will be less admin as companies expect the workload for say 5 people can trim down to 2 pax with AI-assisted tools. But I’m not expert to say if that will really work.

        On the other hand we asked an LLM last week how many full time employees it would take to manage everything we’re doing and the result was 6-8. We currently have more like 2.5 with 1.5 coming. So at least AI believes we need more rather than less employees.

    Have and AI work for me and make all the money I guess. If its was impossible for me to find another job then the model of work and living wages would need to change anyways. There would need to be universal basic income for the unemployed masses.

    The point of life isn’t really work so as long as everyone can afford to live there are plenty of things I would like to do
