Electricians in the early 1900s had a

I think it is time you should start talking on this

@forest prism You can share it here.
You raised a valid point.

AI is simply not good enough yet. Once you get beyond simple REST API work it seems to simply be incapable of doing rigorous logic and debugging work, even with CoT reasoning. If you're competent I think AI is a great tool, especially for processing large volumes of data, and the increased productivity will surely decrease the number of jobs available, but I'm doubtful it's the end of the SE gravy train.

I dont see why you brought up the story of electricians

They were able to successfully unionize

Because their employers needed them

If your reasoning for unionizing is to protect coding from becoming automated

Then there is no leverage for the union to negotiate with

In fact, the act of trying to unionize would probably accelerate efforts to automate away tech jobs

Today, an electrician might not look skilled to you, because it is common but back in the past they where like how coder of today are.

I am not sure, What kind of AI you are exposed to, But this is really concerning:

I didnt disregard their work lol

Read my following messages

Im saying the analogy isnt apt, since electricians had more leverage

This is an overly dramatic article made by an unknown

Idk why you linked it

Also i cant even read the whole thing

[wispy sequoia]

This was not for you

[wispy sequoia]

Okay

[vocal bone]

I know, but im asking why did you choose to link such a seemingly low quality article

[vocal bone]

Is this your only response?

[wispy sequoia]

I don't know, may be your standards are different, just read it few hours ago, the length at which it covers things that are going unnoticed is insane

[vocal bone]

Ok ill give it a lookover

[wispy sequoia]

Yes. People have opinions, they are free to share. You shared one, I accepted

[vocal bone]

Gotcha

[vocal bone]

This article is paywalled

[wispy sequoia]

Nope, just use option, continue using google or apple whatever
You can read it, no need to subscribe.

It says i cant

It says its only avail to medium members only

idk its just needless fearmongering, if AI is going to replace jobs first it's going to be copywriters and marketing. idk if you've ever tried to debug stuff even with top of the line models it's pretty difficult, especially with novel issues, since LLMs are trained with data, if there's no data they're susceptible to hallucinations and such.

i mean the first couple lines of the article are basically likening it to the atomic bomb i mean come on

[vocal bone]

Lmao this is the impression i got

Its just some random dev yapping

[craggy garnet]

bro wtf

1. is this article actually this short
   1.a. its like a 30 sec read and the only thing that it actually says of substance is "omg ai is an atomic bomb"
2. take some time to actually read the responses people are responding to you with. it looks like you arent 🤣

3. did you write this article and are just trying to promo it?

like if you wanted to get some Organic Engagement on your post just make one of those subway surfer videos and use some talking head generator to surface onto a platform that you can ragebait harder on
