One of the more realistic AI vs Jobs articles I've seen.
Understanding the real threat generative AI poses to our jobs
A TLDR summary from the article.
This is gonna go a little long, so for those of you who want the TLDR, here goes:
-If history is any indicator, there’s no catastrophic, Great Depression-level mass job loss event on the horizon, BUT
-That won’t stop bosses from trying to use AI to replace certain jobs, keep pay lower, and demand you and your coworkers produce more work
-Your bosses’ measuring stick for AI output isn’t whether it’s so good it can replace you wholesale, but if it’s “good enough” to justify the savings on labor costs
-Certain industries *are* uniquely vulnerable to generative AI output, and are more threatened than others
-After workplaces are disrupted by generative AI, employees not laid off or reassigned will have to pick up the pieces, often with more work than before
-Whether or not your boss adopts generative AI directly or your industry is threatened, the technology can be used as leverage against you and your colleagues
-Generative AI may or may not be a flash in the pan, but it can be a wrecking ball to your job regardless, especially if your boss is looking for an excuse to cut costs or to appear innovative — and you should be ready
