High skilled jobs will just start using AI as a tool to automate routine (or have already started, in some cases). The most efficient use of AIs we have now is to pair it with a human, anyway
The problem with humans reviewing AI output is that humans are pretty shit at QA. Our brains are literally built to ignore small mistakes. Digging through the output of an AI that’s right 95% of the time is nightmare fuel for human brains. If your task needs more accuracy, it’s probably better to just have the human do it all, rather than try to review it.
Should note that a lot of the Microsoft Recall project revolves around capturing human interactions on the computer in real time continuously, with the hope of training a GPT-5 model that can do basic office tasks automagically.
Will it work? To some degree, maybe. It’ll definitely spit out some convincing looking gibberish.
But the promise is to increasingly automate away office and professional labor.
The worry is focused on the amount of damage that is likely to be done by the people in decision-making positions thinking they can save money by removing more paid positions.
I never understood this? How could the CEO be replaced? Who would be controlling the AI? Whould’t that person just be the new CEO? I have so many questions…
I think AI can take far fewer jobs than people will try to replace with AI, that’s kind of the issue
Basically it is going the following way:
AI isn’t magic, no matter how much techbros try to humanize the technology because NeuRAl nEtWOrKs.

Oh, don’t worry, the errors you see will go away quickly, assuming they aren’t a feature.

“Take this code and give me jest tests with 100% coverage. Don’t describe, don’t scaffold, full output.”
Saves me hours.

Companies will save so much money once they decide to replace their CEOs with AIs…
Look, I already got the algorithm written right here!

The shareholders would do a ‘Twitch plays’ on the ai
Tbf most could do it for cheaper with a dartboard and some post-its
