There are none long term. Its delusional thinking from people either invested in these platforms taking off or people who are so blinded by their love of the future they cant stand talking about any downsides.

Jobs that will be created by this specific period of AI.

You think these jobs will be replaced by self regulating ai, or is this a phase as a whole ?

I think that in the short term well see a boom of "prompt engineers" and shit like that but 10 years in the majority of user-facing inputs will be so comprehensive your average person can use them, or use another AI to use them.

Yeah, I agree, I'm hoping ai will end up being at the forefront of our progression rather than fading into mundane utility.

Totally. I'd say up until about a year ago I had resigned myself to thinking of it as that but the rate of change things have been going through... progress could always suddenly stop. There are always unexpected roadblocks but man this shit is moving so fast.

You see what you want to see lol. You're clearly just as much of a simp just on the opposite side.

AI won’t generate jobs. It will allow the best people in each field to produce far more with less work.

In some field, like code, we have a shortage. So we can soak up the excess supply. In other fields, like bad romance novels, or college essay plagiarism for hire, or commanding robot armies, jobs will be in short supply.

This comment is so full of hubris. "These good and verrry complex and useful jobs, like the one I do, will THRIVE!! These bad and useless jobs will cease to exist."

I think you're in for an unpleasant surprise in the medium term about how capitalism actually works.

I’m not at all convinced that I’ll do well. Former pilot turned medical student, both of these are jobs where established experts can oversee vast armies of robots.

No, it will allow the most connected and rich in each field. "best" has nothing to do with it. Code will eventually die out you wont be able to keep up with the AI.

Maybe, maybe not. “Best” will be a moving target, but generically it will mean “best at using LLMs to do their job”.
