re: My job barely existed when I was in college, and will cease to exist before I retire

The major limiter of AI is power. We had to shut down parts of the southern electric grid yesterday bc it got hot. Not even fake global warming hot, just normal May/June hot. We could start building power plants yesterday and we are at least a decade away from AI really taking over jobs at its full potential. It also has to be trained, and checked by a human who actually knows the subject area. Google how many lawyers have been sanctioned over the past few years bc AI added fake cases to their filings. It’s the same with any other profession.

Send me your resume at my username @ yahoo and I will scope it out. With one of the CMS announcements this past week I expect there to be an increase in leveraging data by providers to reduce risk adjustment risk.

There’s a small percentage of Indians who are extremely smart but they’re not an overall high IQ group like Chinese and Japanese are.
Your exposure is to the top 1% of Chinese and Japanese. Even Japan has its baws working little farms. The main difference is that the average Japanese has a work ethic that hasn't been widespread in America since the 1960's.
As for the Chinese, don't get me started. That country is India with a better PR firm - the CCP. Their average assembly line worker is as dumb as any rock here.

Microsoft just laid off a ton of developers and replaced 2/3 of them with AI and the rest with offshore Pajeets.
Oh yeah, they unleashed Copilot to try and fix bugs. Go look up how well that's working.

When I hear AI, to me that means Actually Indians. AI isn't the threat to jobs in this field, it's Indians who will work for a fraction of what an American will take.
This 100%.
For the most part the majority of fields and occupations will feel the AI pinch. I am a general real estate appraiser. I value all forms of real estate (industrial, commercial, agricultural, residential, etc.). The biggest threat to most of our existence is the CHEAP poorly trained competitor who will be around to undercut your fee. The typical American just wants CHEAP. They rarely consider experience, competency, quality, etc. After all, we have been brainwashed by WalMart for the past forty years that CHEAPER is better. Team Trump is our ONLY hope as a country.

swap over to industrial automation. we really need help in this field and your database and coding background would be useful with softwares like Ignition by Inductive Automation.

I was hoping to work 8 more years, but it’s doubtful I’ll be able to outrun AI that much longer. This must be how Cotton Gin techs felt around 1865.
I'm just not seeing it.
AI is very cool and useful in certain circumstances, but anytime I deal with anything slightly off boilerplate, it flips shite and can't give me even close to an insight to work with.

In our company, the general feeling is that we can get 5 Indians for the price of one American. The bean counters are always pushing for the Indians, The people who have to manage the process and support the results, are begging for Americans. Now, some Indians are great, particularly the ones who are already here and who were educated here. But like any other group, not all are and there is a lot of lying on resumes going on.
The big lie is that because so many people see Indians doing well in things like spelling bees and being presented as geniuses in shows like The Big Bang Theory, that Indians are stereotyped as super duper smart mathematical/computer geniuses.
Anyone who has ever worked with Indians knows that is definitely not the case. They are like drone ants - you can teach them to do repetitive tasks that require rhote memorization (hence why they are so good at spelling bees) but anything that requires outside of the box thinking, problem solving, or communication skills, forget about it. If everything stays 100% on script, they are fine, but if things go off the rails and require problem solving - forget about it. They become as useful as tits on a boar. This is the main issue these bean counters don't understand - the real indicator of being able to do a tech job well is problem solving, not following a script doing menial tasks over and over.
Not just that but the communication skills are awful. And its not just the thick accents.

My GP is indian and I work with several. My GP is great. The ones I work with are just normal people with strengths and weaknesses. A lot of Indian parents really push their children to succeed, maybe too much at times, and people can get the impression that they are all super smart. Just not the case for every Indian.
I haven't been over there, but co-workers who have says this is still a problem:

but imagine if just 10% of the tech industry workers being displaced by AI started going to juco to learn trades like HVAC, plumbing, or welding.
Imagine some 40yo that been working a tech desk for two decades showing up to jump to get a Electical trainee card then pulling up on a job site wearing a tool belt

Don’t underestimate your competition.
That tech desk guy likely has mad problem solving skills.

You won’t be the last professional to experience this phenomenon.
Automation came for assembly line workers
AI is coming for white collar jobs
Difference being some other field opened up. Farm/factory/office. I don't see where the displaced information workers will go. As another poster said, the trades can't absorb them all. Maybe the answer is UBI. The oligarch solution might be to let everybody but the favored elite starve, but people tend not to sit quietly and accept their fate.

My last job before my current one, Boston Consulting Group told my employer they could get 90% of my productivity for 33% of the pay. Despite winning employee of the quarter in Q4 2023 i was laid off and replaced with an Indian who didn't even last 2 months until he was canned and they came back to me trying to get me to rejoin. No thanks I said The biggest lie pushed is Indians are just as competent as Americans
I do too and you hit the nail on the head.

I'm in same field but manufacturing IT. Our jobs are not going to be replaced by AI until all systems and data are standardized and near perfect data integrity.
We're the MFers that that make the old addage of
Garbage in = Garbage out
More like
Garbage In + shite ton of data transformation programming by experienced human = halfway accurate and usable Power BI Dashboards

Lot of denial in this thread.
Some of you sound like people questioning whether email or the Internet will catch on in the 80s because AI has some flaws today in your line of work.
The rate of improvement will shock you.
The machines coming for your jobs get better every second of every day, 24/7.
