Never said it wouldn't happen. It's just not going to happen anytime soon.

Being able to pull from a database of resources to answer questions on an exam doesn't make an AI a qualified doctor or lawyer. It means it can properly query its own database.

If you are a programmer you should know that only basic code will be handled by automation and AI anytime soon. The basic shit that is so simple it can be Google. Anything above that is still beyond AI.

> You’re delusional if you don’t think your job will fall eventually.

Again, people have been saying that about my profession for decades. Saying it will be outsourced too. It's never successfully done long term, someone always ends up having to go back and redo the work or double check it because of errors.

Try telling lawyers, doctors, engineers, research scientists, and any other job where interpretation of rules or regulations occur that their jobs will be automated any time soon. They will laugh at you.

Like the headlines of ChatGPT being able to pass a bunch of professional exams. It doesn't mean it's capable of actually performing the job. It's capable of using data it's been given to answer questions. Give nearly any human access to a database of relevant knowledge, not even connected to the internet, during an exam and they will also pass.

I'm all for automating skilled labor work, I want a future where humans can explore human existence without the required pursuit of soul crushing jobs for money. But acting like it's going to happen anytime soon is lying to yourself.

Lol someone isn't a programmer and probably doesn't work in skilled labor.

Most skilled labor jobs aren't as simple as you think. People having been telling my profession, accounting, that our jobs would be automated away for decades. The only stuff that's been automated away? The unskilled labor...

> whatever the allowance is called, for all people to ensure they have income.

Universal basic income.

The scary part is that we will probably have a mass joblessness scenario due to automation before we actually admit that a UBI is necessary.

Getting companies to pay workers more has been a problem for decades, even when they have been enjoying huge productivity gains leading to ever growing profit margins.

Things are gonna get much worse for the unskilled labor market because of automation. Not that I have a problem with those soul sucking jobs going away, I have a problem with them going away and nothing being done to offset those people's income.
