re: Anthropic just studied which jobs AI can be theoretically replaced.

Under Architecture and Engineering it must be forecasting a high replacement rate because "computer engineering" falls under "engineering".
You don’t think “computer engineering” would fall under “computer & math”?
I get the sentiment that there will always be a need for field work and client-interfacing that requires a person. I also believe there will always be a need for licensed PE’s, for liability/safety reasons. But there is a ton of work in the larger engineering field that AI can conceivably do.
Off the top of my head: drafting, document/spec reviews, optimization, estimating, etc.
Even the field survey part can be supplemented. We are already seeing AI tools being used in conjunction with 3D scans.
Automation doesn’t have to completely replace humans to have a major impact on the job market. It just has to allow a human to be more productive, which increases the supply of labor. Then the question becomes whether the demand for that labor also increases.

Most of my job is coordination rather than drafting. I haven’t seen an agentic AI that can communicate across so many different teams and workflows. We’ll see

You'll just have AI doing the same stuff you're bitching about, FYI.

One thing I've wondered about is what happens if AI screws something up (which it frequently does), then what? Using lawyers as an example, if your lawyer screws something up, you can go after his malpractice insurance. If AI screws up, you're just holding the bag, right? I guess a new insurance product would evolve for such a thing, but still a pretty big risk at the moment to completely trust AI.
This is certainly an issue. Even AI tools specifically marketed as LLMs for law firms and in-house legal teams still include fine print in their terms and conditions that state something to the effect of: "The Product is a research tool only, the output is not legal advice, and may contain errors."
So there's zero chance any LLM provider will assume liability for their "AI Lawyer's" malpractice.

This is where people are going to get trapped. Most people's experience with AI are annoying and borderline useless nerfed models. They get frustrated with how inept it is, and think it will never replace them. They fail to realize the acceleration that is taking place behind the scenes. These things are improving every day, and they will soon reach an exponential growth phase. Buckle up.

I guess this is specifically for Anthropic tools, because automation is already in use for Grounds maintenance, agriculture, transportation, remote repairs, and even some food and serving.
Once the Tesla bots and others are ready in the next 5-10 years, they will be able to take most every other job, including construction.

health care practitioners seems awfully high. my last experience with chatGTP didnt convince me it should be doing surgery o people.

Most people in this thread don’t work in AI and are just parroting what they have seen on Twitter about the exponential growth and acceleration and doom and gloom scenarios where AI replaces 50% of jobs in 3-5 years. They’re taking what they read as gospel truth with no real understanding of what’s really going to happen and on what timeline.
I remember people making threads here in 2012-2013 about self driving cars. The predictions were extraordinary. “Most cars on the road will be driverless within a decade”. Laughable.
Guess we will see what happens with AI but the good thing the believers have going for them is they can’t be wrong yet..

Looks like we need to pick up the pace on deportations. We are going to need those jobs for our citizens.

Have you tried the one offered by Westlaw? Still don’t trust it completely but the laws and cases it pulls are in Westlaw’s database not off the internet like chat gpt. It’ll be interesting to see where it goes

Weird. I’m in transportation and see AI wiping out entire segments of the industry going forward. Brokerages will ultimately be replaced. Digital freight matching platforms will eliminate them.

The most intelligent people in the world in technology, finance, and business who make their money predicting the future are telling you it's coming. If you choose to bury your head in the sand, you'll be one of the first ones on the unemployment line in the next 10-20 years with no one to blame but yourself.

The company that makes and sells AI projects that AI has widespread application and uses. Shocking.
frick AI and its sycophantic evangelists.
I'll take a shite on a Nividia server farm before I ever resort to AI for writing, the arts, or any fundamentally human endeavor.

Autonomous mowers that operate like Roombas are becoming increasingly popular with golf courses and the wealthy. Soon enough the tech will be cheap enough for everyone to own one.

Legal, Financial, Healthcare jobs are going to be gutted. I say this as an IT Administrator who will also be greatly affected. It’s coming and nobody will be immune in corporate America.

Do you mind sharing what companies (I say this as someone who is heavily involved in the space, and I'd like to know who our competitors are).

I think this is a pretty common viewpoint. But consider that part of the reason we spend so much time on communication/coordination is that we (humans) do not share information efficiently. AI agents can theoretically share information extremely efficiently with other AI agents.
In other words, the more those other workflows adopt AI, the less important the human coordination aspect becomes. Past a certain adoption threshold, it’s possible that human coordination actually becomes a net negative. That’s probably all theoretical at this point, though.
