Oh man is translation not possible with AI. You have no idea how little languages have in common. A lot of terms don't mean a thing, but combine concepts you don't have or associate to point at a thing.
My dad said, about learning a new language, ''cat means cat, not gato, don't translate'' and I think that holds up pretty well from my experience.
Everyone thinks their own line of work is safe because everyone knows the nuances of their own job. But the thing that gets you is that the easier a job gets the fewer people are needed and the more replaceable they are. You might not be able to make a robot cashier, but with the scan and go mobile app you only need an employee to wave a scanner (to check that some random items in your cart are included in the barcode on your receipt) and the time per customer to do that is fast enough that you only need one person, and since anyone can wave a scanner you don’t have much leverage to negotiate a raise.
AI generated slop. Reported
Why is this AI comic upvoted as much?? There are mysteries I will never get..
I still think that all jobs are, in general, safe for the foreseeable future. But we will be expected to use AI tools and just produce more and more, so that a few people will gain more and more resources and power.
E.g. as engineers we will do less and less actual planning, but we will run AIs like it were a team of engineer slaves.
And I think this will be similar for other branches. A music composer will run AIs to compose parts of a song, adjust it, readjust other parts, till the song is good. I mean, afaik this is already how much of it works.
The image looks like AI...
The easiest way that i have found to check if an image is AI is to look for repeating things and see if they are consistent. A real artist would have no reason to draw the robot multiple times or change the font slightly after each letter
I am starting to think this is AI, but I am not sure. The irony.
It 100% is AI, this is ChatGPT's hilariously identifiable comic style.
Man itl be nice when surgeons can be fully replaced with robots.
There are some thing I would not mind seeing gone, like managers, doctors that don't actually want to treat anyone, and begging a Psych to at least give you an ADHD test.
Am I supposed to read this as simultaneous (those jobs are currently safe.... for now, the others are not) or progressive (all these jobs are human/skilled and halfway they get replaced by robots)..?
I suppose either way it's commenting that you can't take your position for granted. AI isn't coming to replace you, but it is going to evolve your field, and workers that don't adapt will be supplanted by those that do.
If we were not ruled by tech oligarchs, and the control & benefits of AI were not concentrated among a privileged few, AI replacing our jobs would be a good thing.
I'm not mad at translation no longer being a viable career choice. I'm mad at capitalism making it so.
