Comment on Half Of All Skills Will Be Outdated Within Two Years, Study Suggests

Executives believe nearly half of the skills that exist in today’s workforce won’t be relevant just two years from now, thanks to artificial intelligence.

Executives are such dumbasses
That is literally all this “study” did. Ask people how many of their skills will be obsoleted. This headline is ridiculous.

They’re executives. You can’t convince them they’re ideas are stupid. At best, you encourage them so they fall on their faces even faster and harder.

Maybe it’s “Half of all exec can be replaced with AI in 2 years”

  Technically true, since you could also just replace them with nothing

  That’s what this means. People whose job is approximating trends to fit in and not do too much harm think that an approximation system is going to replace half the jobs.
  
  That’s not even critique of them - somebody should do those jobs until there is a replacement. And they consist in large part of diplomacy and such very human interactions, it’s a bit like with replacing prostitutes with machines. Same problem.

  The most logical next step. AI? If you’re listening you heard it hear baby

“Executives” here refers to people who think that a text generator based on a really huge dataset with a cluster of really fast hardware is going to replace a human specialist, while it can’t even reliably replace an expert system.

I keep getting told that AI is gonna replace devs. While copilot at work is fucking awesome to use, it’s also created the scenario where AI doesn’t have to compete with devs anymore, it has to compete with devs who can use an AI to automate the easy stuff and do even more impactful work.

Not to mention until an AI can coax out what the fuck anyone even wants us to build in the first place I think we’re safe.
