Reply to comment by Iffykindofguy in What are the so-called 'jobs' that AI will create? by thecatneverlies

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”.
