There is no point continuing this conversation.. as I said, y’all can’t be wrong yet.
But I do appreciate that you are acknowledging that these aren’t your own thoughts and you are just parroting the doom information that’s out there currently.

Architecture and engineering is going to be hard to replace. Good luck finding an AI company willing to take on the professional liability of stamping drawings or drafting them.
That said I predict the software for analysis will continue to grow.

There's no point in continuing the conversation because your argument is terrible and has no merit whatsoever. "Just trust me, it's not going to happen" is not a defensible position.

Pretty soon we're going to have a whole bunch of former doctors, lawyers and engineers working outdoor jobs, then we can send all the illegals back home to Messico.

You see that white space in legal, those are the actual lawyers. The bulk of the work done in the legal field is done by paralegals, legal secretaries, and other clerical/research grunts. Don't be pissed OT lawyers and Chicken.

My job spans the full breadth of the above - desk jockey to greasy field guy. AI has replaced some of my need for interns for desk tasks already.
AI will never (not in my lifetime) replace field service / commissioning work done by competent humans.

Unless you have a robot examining you clinically those doctors aren't going to go away. Litigation/criminal defense lawyers also won't be going away any time soon either, though I could see support staff getting dropped faster.
For AI to really replace doctors/lawyers/engineers, they will need a physical presence to act for a patient, argue in front of a judge, or submit permit/record drawings or do field work for engineering.

AI is basically a retarded intern from my experience so far. Not a good intern, a really dumb one.
I understand the technological significance and capability of it. There's a lot of unanswered questions associated with its use. Right now we're in the free drugs stage of AI usage. As more and more companies become dependent on it, the price will go up. Computing (read acreage, cooling, and horsepower) needs go up.
Everybody diving headlong into using it to take over the world need to pump the brakes. I've had a team of 6 very qualified people (AI is what they do) working for months on agents and all kinds of other stuff to try to perform what would have taken a moderately intelligent intern about a week to do. So far, nothing close to a solution.
It's revolutionary no doubt, and has countless uses. It isn't taking over the world any time soon.

My argument is that you and everyone else in this thread are simply regurgitating Twitter doom. AGI might be 50+ years away. Y’all have absolutely no idea.
Put the Twitter away bro. Escape your echo chamber for a few days and go outside.

good paralegals are safe. How are you going to get AI to call the clerks office to fix a filing?
What makes you think that the clerk's office won't also be using AI, and that your AI and the clerk's AI won't be able to communicate?

There are staggering job losses coming in the West, and I don't think governments and societies are prepared for it. We’re in new territory, where new technology outright replaces vast swaths of humans instead of making them more productive.
Either everything will collapse or governments will drastically limit what AI can do.
No one really wins in an AI replacement scenario. Even if you work in an industry that's "safe", no one else will have the money to pay you. Governments can't tax people if the people don't have a job.

I hope the lawyers go first. Couldn’t happen to a nicer group.

Sonnet 4.6 is available in Anthropic's free tier, so money wasn't necessarily wasted to make a point.

First of all, my comment was a jocular reply to another jocular reply to the OP, not intended to be taken seriously.
In all seriousness, I know that we're still going to need human doctors, lawyers and engineers. Just not nearly as many of them.

as if this odd chart is authoritative. And trust me, the types of lawyers you want replaced by AI, won't be replaced by AI.

I'm more optimistic than this.
Why can't AI make people more productive, shift where our energy is applied, and vault mankind to new heights? We aren't ALL going to show up one day to find the door chained shut with a sign saying "AI is doing your job now."
If nothing else, the people running the companies expanding AI will have money, or they will quit developing it.
Maybe we move beyond money as a concept all together? I'm not sure I want to live in a world where everyone is equal, because I am a winner, but it's possible.
