I've said it before. AI is not taking over everything... Well, until it does and when that happens it will be all at once and there will be little that can be done other than become part of the machine.

Until then? AI is a force-multiplier. If you can get 5x more work done in the same amount of time then the company probably needs 2x less people in that role now. We all wish this would mean shorter work days/weeks or increased pay but you know it wont even though it should. However, if you don't use 'AI tools' or refuse to then you will be eventually left behind. (At least for the current modern workloads that lend to AI well).

From the post:

>AI experts tend to agree that rapid advances in the technology will impact jobs. But there's a clear division growing between those who see that as a cause for concern and those who believe it heralds a future of growth. Andrew Ng, the founder of Google Brain and a professor at Stanford University, is in the latter camp. He's optimistic about how AI will transform the labor market. For one, he doesn't think it's going to replace jobs.

I would agree with that if AI isn't shit now. Now I am not anti-tech here. But we are at least a decade from chatgpt from serious human replacement. Powershell and python is for automation. AI is still in the "that's kinda cool" phase.

I tend to agree in some ways but really, all it takes is one breakthrough and 10-20-30 years becomes 2 years in a heartbeat. Its kind of why I said it won't (probably) happen tomorrow. However, when it does. It will be all at once and unexpected/controlled.
