Don’t worry, they’ll be plenty of jobs in the Human resistance fighting against the robot overlords.
😂 exactly what I’m thinking.
As Einstein once said, “WW IV will be fought with sticks and stones”
@@BitBlink Or maybe with Phased Plasma Pulse-Guns against machines..
Robot overlords? Nah. The worst part of AI isn’t that it will go rogue.
It’s that it will do exactly what it’s designed to do.
Forever.
Bahahaha! I'm trying to put my kids down. I read this and start laughing out loud
I agree with the first guy.
We actually have a LOT of automation already in tech.
Look at app generators, low-code, no-code solutions, containers, etc.
The roles will simply change to higher level thinking.
I think it ultimately means less jobs for the current tech people. I think there would be less jobs overall.
Even if there're more jobs, but how many of the factory workers are working at tech industry right now?
i work as a power platform dev and using some of these ai tools definitely helps but i would say its probably not going to take over at least in our lifetime (i hope) haha
@@ak137lg Keep in mind that AI has inherit error margins, so there always need to be someone to actually understand what it produces and correct if needed.
@@makesnosense6304
Even then it streamlines it to the point that not as many people are needed to do the job.
@@Apwolsopcjrhei It makes for more productivity, possibly. Depending on the errors AI generates. Also, it requires more out of people. I've been using it a lot for boilerplate stuff, to get going. But, I still need to check what it generates, and have noticed logic errors that I had to fix.
What I don’t understand is why people think AI will create new jobs. The only reason previous technologies created new jobs was because they were not replacing intelligence. We still need experts to communicate with AI and conduct research, but there will be less demand for mid or low-level tech or science jobs.
Prompt engineers are new jobs, but I see that as merely people thinking and communicating clearly, so... a dubious thing.
It will create some new jobs, but from my experience thus far, it's a huge net loss of thought-based jobs.
It works well as thought autocomplete and makes it far faster.
@@strictnonconformist7369 I don't think prompt engineering will create many new jobs in the future. AI is getting better at understanding us even when the prompts are not that sophisticated. Also, domain knowledge is an important part of creating good prompts. So, it is more like experts who learn to create good prompts get to keep their jobs.
@@Thefare1234 if you reread my post, that's largely what I stated, in a different way: those that master prompting and making use of them as tools in their fields will be the ones that have jobs, while those that don't, won't.
I'm thinking the number of long-term prompt engineers that aren't sufficiently expert in given domains will be those paid to teach those in specific domains how to prompt, and also those involved in the alignment process itself. Those will be a small number compared to jobs lost.
I have no idea what is to become of those replaced especially if it happens as quickly as history and my experience, perspective in tech suggests it will: hurricane force and speed, worldwide, crossed with a 9.0 earthquake.
Personal computers and computers at work and their impacts on productivity was very gradual, and then the web and browsers, by comparison, because things were still done mostly without computers for mundane things like paying bills, since enough people didn't have those. That's no longer the case in any part of the world that isn't starving as they have smartphones at a minimum and even for low income places, they're affordable. Everyone that is living in a remotely modern life has the on-ramp to using these AIs for free or nearly free, just use a tiny amount of effort to learn about and use them.
It's sort of like drug dealers selling crack: they'll give you the first one for free but the next ones are not.
A huge difference is there are productivity improvements possible using AIs and the aspect of keeping up with the Jones.
@@Siddhx1 it still makes sense to carefully constrain the context as tightly as you need results, though. If you're asking it to generate literature whether it is prose or verse, if it is meant for entertainment, state it has full reign, within context of bounds for what is restricted from guardrails, but if something needs to be more precise, address that as well. Then auto gpt is even more effective and less likely to go off the rails.
The government won’t need a big population anymore. They might start to unalive humans
I think everyone underestimates how simple and repetitive their job actually is when you break it down
It's launch attack on fragile egos
Yeaaahhh this comment
Agreed, people are coping. This shit is gonna seriously disrupt the world.
rolf, if it can replace ur jobs, then u must relaly be useless. i bet u are jobless.
and still someonen eeds to do it because we dont have robots yet replacing millions of peoples simple routines. and there is no robot yet, which can replace a humans intelligence yet compeltely, especially the highter intelligent people.
The eyes of CEOs shine every time they mention AI nowadays, they think of all the jobs that AI will replace, their stocks will go through the roof as soon as they start saving big money. The thing is, with millions losing their jobs, who's going to buy their dumb products? I think that that's what all these CEOs are not considering. Probably governments will have to jump in at some point and create subsidies for people. Winter is coming folks, get ready because we've seen nothing like this before.
Just like how the boomers sold out america for a quick dollar, these companies will sellout, get a ton of money and leave the mess to someone else
UBI is not enough to pay my mortgage, unless govt gonna give me 4k a month, this wont work and it will lead to hyperinflation and civil war.
We survived World War 2 and nuclear weaponry, so I think we’ll survive this.
Great point. Businesses, workers and customers are like an ecosystem. They all need to be in balance to coexist and benefit from eachother.
@@engineking777 Not enough resources in this world for UBI to cut it.
I haven't watched this but I expect there will be a lot of optimism bias displayed.
BTW, when it comes to disruption, keep a few things in mind:
1) Technology doesn't have to do your job as well as you do it; it just has to do it cheaper enough and good enough to put you out of work.
2) Sometimes, a successful innovation is actually not even good enough, but it still displaces real workers because it's massively hyped as better by investor money spent on hyping it.
3) The funny thing is, not every good idea succeeds . . . but also, not every bad idea fails.
4) If you think you can escape disruption by becoming something like a plumber, keep in mind that as more and more professions fall to disruption, the additional unemployed will retrain for the few remaining professions, so there will be plenty of people competing with you for plumbing jobs. You'll be like those workers waiting at the factory gates every morning during the Great Depression, hoping to get a few hours work that day.
5) This will even affect physicians and dentists: once everyone is out of work, how will they have money to pay your bill?
If AI is going to replace human workers in the scale people fear, there's going to be a lot of unrest worldwide. Millions of jobs being replaced means a lot less taxes being collected. If people lose their jobs, that means less money in the economy.
In this case people can't afford to spend as much as they used to. This will also affect businesses. Their customers would be in less favourable economic situation to continue their spending habits.
Right?? Like if so many people are losing their jobs no money is going into the economy
Wrong, Capitalism doesn't need consumers like yourself to survive.
@@Danuxsy yeah I saw a video from EE. We'll just have to prepare mass graves.
@@Danuxsy What??? Capitalism doesn't need consumers??? 🤣
maybe it's by design, so they can usher in communism and or socialism
Cool Lucy! Getting insights from different people working at different companies and roles. Nicely put
id like to watch this video in 10 years, to see the results, either their opinions are gonna sound so arcaic or be validated
That's what I was thinking. There's no way for someone to know everything walking away from this video
why too long?less than 5 years should be enough
I think the people who said something to the effect of “it will replace most jobs specially repetitive jobs, but create many jobs we never imagine would exist” will be correct
@@SharkAcademyI don’t see how, this is a completely new technological advancement… it’s not just a new piece of equipment to make your job easier. It has an intelligence to it and doesn’t require as much human input and each update requires less and less
Awesome work Lucy! Really interesting to hear the opinion of different tech specialists in different fields of the industry.
Thanks for watching! 😄
I'm so glad I clicked on the video, Anne's answer to your question about should people be getting into tech was brilliant and filled with wisdom that only comes with experience. Great video.
The people saying there will be no job loss from automation are delusional. Governments will have to step in to keep the Capitalist economy going or people will have to move beyond Capitalism.
the amount of people who work in like more brain type of jobs, that you done with the computer increases each year, less and less people are trying to do old jobs stuff like plumber, paver, where those are exactly the kind of jobs that chat gpt can't speed up much. In china there is already waay to many too much educated people.
Basicly if you want your job not to be replaced you need to be like a nurse/doctor that requires manual operations like atleast dentist or something like a plumber, jobs like programmer or lawyer gonna be speed up so much by chat gpt and there is so much saturation there that they are kinda doomed, you need to be like high iq or high dedication/ambition in other to feel safe choosing this kind of career.
@@koks49045 we're fucked lol
You could also just work on your own company. Which is way easier now because of ai.
Kind of like how we don't need thousands of filing clerks to manually store and retrieve files from warehouses of filing cabinets anymore?
@@koks49045 robotics will take those jobs and thats what the developers will be creating so dev jobs will be the last to go
I think it’s the wrong venue for such a question. You’ll get an echo chamber response. Maybe go to a business owner conference and ask them if they would hire developers or just have ai do the work? Also I think replacement is not the keyword here but displace or even devalue tech jobs. When you use replace people will be defense but devalue would be more devastating and more realistic.
Damn! You broke my heart badly💔.Truth hurts.
@@energyluu4660 An update: I just heard from one investor that the AI we're using now from Open AI and other big companeis are just 5% open to the public; the rest they haven't released yet because they don't know if they are deemed too risky. Thus, the reason why the godfather of AI, Geoffrey Hinton, quit his job at Google after 10 years and why most tech titans are calling for regulation. We only know what we think we know but we have to factor in what's kept from us and on the opposing side, if we only like to hear what our echo chamber hears or assume the worst -- what greedy companies trying to save money will do to avoid hiring enough developers when they might only hire a few, thinking AI will be sufficient for their needs. Perception, as they say, can be stronger than reality.
Devalue? More likely increased competition. The top tier engineers will be incredibly valuable while the bottom will have to improve or become homeless. It doesn’t seem likely that we will need a lot of mediocre engineers with limited skills.
@@martinlutherkingjr.5582 You can't be a skilled engineer with no experience. Before this AI thing, at least low level engineers have the opportunity to learn and grow as they work. When AI makes low level engineers unnecessary, it's only a matter of time before the top ones die off with nobody to take their place.
@@excalibro8365 I don’t think the market for engineers is going to become that illiquid anytime soon. The barrier to entry for junior level positions will just go up so there will be mostly smart hard working people getting in. A lot of entry level engineering positions want experience beyond simply a degree, particularly in software. This means more education before someone will pay you for doing work.
Hello Lucy! I've starting following recently as i was looking for opinions on how to move on on my IT career, and among the hundreds of videos i've seen talking almost about the same, mentioning generic evolutionary paths to follow in learning, i've became more attached to your videos for the transparency in the information you provide and your honest and proven opinions. This to say that i really like your content and now this kind of interviews with real people in the industry is the cherry on top for someone like me that want to really know what's been happening to people in the field. Please keep it up, and if possible try to make more interviews, i'ts really great to watch and you're really good at it as well! Wish you the greatest success ;)
As a content writer, I have to be honest. I wonder why I’m not laid off yet when Chat GPT can generate texts in an instant in my writing style when I prompt it do so. I use Chat GPT daily and the way I ‘redeem’ my job is by somewhat personalizing the text. The job I do is repetitive since I write articles related to the pest control industry. My industry is very much stagnant which makes it perfect for AI to take over. That being said, I’m upskilling right now to marketing which is another field that can easily be automated with generative tools lol so either way, I’m screwed.
I feel you brother, I really do. Maybe I'll do only fans or some shkt lol. Hopefully AI won't take over that
@@yahyagannour8486 Hope Universal income will save us 😭
I would suggest you learn to code but….
@@tahirrizwan6759 Universal income my ass. No such a thing will ever happen
@@yahyagannour8486 I’m kind of glad AI is becoming so advanced. Suddenly people are recognizing the problems with how our current capitalist systems are set up, or maybe even capitalism in its entirety
As a result of AI i think:
-less entry level roles it’s already hard to crack the job market as it is in Europe many people need master degrees and multiple interview rounds
- middle class is going to keep shrinking (staples of the middle class such as mid level bankers have shrunk incredibly due to tech most productivity gaings going to the top)
- more senior roles, senior positions are still going to be needed and will increase inequality either you are in or you are not.
- people that lose their jobs and don’t retrain are going to be left behind it’s easy to say new jobs are being created but retraining takes investment, time, willpower, gives stress and is easier said that done kinda like the «learn to code » saying 5 to 7 years ago but now AI can replace then what are we going to say « learn to be a data analist or scientist »
Sad but true
ChatGPT's new Code Interpreter plugin will make data scientists obsolete lol
AI might affect some job sectors, but it also opens up new opportunities. Technological advancements have always brought fresh industries. We need to invest in retraining and support systems to help people adapt by being open to change and taking proactive steps. This way we can navigate the job market shifts and make the most of AI benefits.
@@JolByte1 All new jobs will involve working with AI. We don't know what those jobs will be, but if you're not working with AI or learning to use AI already, then you're already behind everyone else.
@@JolByte1 When you say "opens new opportunities" that does not mean entry level jobs will increase. It means that you need higher education more experience to do those jobs. The job market is already difficult to get into and people who are already in the those roles don't have to worry since they have experience and knowledge. They can transfer those to the "new jobs"
Finally a video with a lot of substence to it on RUclips. Very good questions and answers, thank you for this. You're a very a good journalist / reporter😉
I don't think ai will create more jobs like internet did. Unlike internet ai will not require any human to operate it. Ai will be a perfect replacement for human workforce in future
business owners are more likely to use AI to do all the job while all they do is relax and get richer
they no longer have to pay for employees so yeah if this issues werent fixed and regulated, itll definately make humans useless
If that's the case then fine, people with assets will see offsetting gains.
@@suuzi4755 AI replacing all jobs is very unlikely, because all it does is freeing more resources for other sectors, like healthcare or to have more workers working in agriculture in order to reduce our need of artificial chemicals that destroy the land.
But if we push it to the extreme where AI replaces all jobs, we already have examples in some oil rich Middle Eastern societies in which foreign workers are paid using the billions of oil money so that Nationals don't have to work. In Qatar and Saudi Arabia, most of those who were born in the country are working very little, and for many not at all. The same would happen with AI, but in better because it wouldn't rely on foreign workers who are treated poorly...
And we are now at a point where we must consume less resources and less energy in order to reduce pollution. AI and robots consume TONS of energy and resources. Thus, AI and robots replacing all jobs everywhere on Earth won't happen anytime soon.
I guess we’ll just sit inside using the meta verse and jacking it to VR porn
@@PG-3462 white collar jobs can be replaced easily. And ai can also create efficient solutions for energy and resources crisis.
I really enjoy your Videos Lucy . I have been in Telecom for quite awhile and am exploring cloud now. I think people are always afraid of changes in technology that come out, they replace jobs but it just makes you continue to work on improving your skillset to keep up with the changes. Some of what AI can do is a bit scary to a lot of us, maybe because we have all seen Terminator 2
Great video! As someone who is just starting their career in tech, I found it highly insightful to hear from those who have been working in the industry for years about their thoughts on AI/ML. I completely agree that in order to thrive in the tech industry, one must possess the important abilities of continuous learning and adaptability.
I was super excited about getting started on school with a CS degree with concentration of software engineering. I'm scared about getting started now. If this conversation is brought up at this time I cant imagine 3 years down the line when I finish my degree. Will I be able to get job?
@@joelthepizzawizard493 If you think about it, AI will eventually replace most jobs, it’s not just Software Engineers, but a bunch of categories; for example Financial Analysts, GPT can already do that, imagine what an LLM trained specifically for that task will be able to do; Paralegals, and Lawyers same thing, an LLM trained for the Law, will be able to come up with better strategies, faster than any lawyer could.
any job that involves knowledge, data and the come up of strategies as a combination of those things (which is true for a ton of jobs other than the ones I mentioned), will be performed better by AI one day, it’s just a matter of time.
So the question is, do you keep on living even though you know one day you’ll die?
It’s the same thing with AI, no one really knows how and when their industry will be disrupted, the only thing we can do, is stay on top of the news, and take advantage of this tech as much as we can, because it’s not going anywhere.
@@xeyepatchh6429mad that’s ultimately the problem. AI should be banned worldwide in my opinion or at least stop developing it further.
@@Tornadospeed10 I wish man, but that's pretty much impossible. If something like that could be achieved, by say the eu, us, and the other "western" powers, we both know that china, Russia and the rest of the opposing nations, would not abide by it, they would use it, and they would crush us in pretty much everything. It's such a powerful tool, that if we refuse to use it, we would be in dangerous territories anyways, because others would.
My biggest concern about the statements these people made is that they don't address the possibility of (and in my opinion, strong current trend towards) complacency by societies, industries, companies, communities; complacency to settle for what works versus what is actually a good worthwhile endeavor for the long term; complacency to just live in an ai-driven society that revolves around tech that would appear to perform "thinking" effectively despite its true shortcomings.
Programmers will not lose their jobs, because the clients will ask for more, or the companies will be able to provide more for "the same price" so they would be more competitive. The ones that chose to provide the same quality or amount of features, with fewer programmers, will eventually regret it, as they will stay behind!
Current state yes, later states no, the aim of the concept of ai is to build an entity which can do anything which a human can do at least at the same level. If you think what that means it means it can solve all the problems a human could solve while having information storage and speed of information transmition way beyond any human. So the end will be systems which are effectively solving the problems without humans in the loop. Once that is the case sure you demand more, however you will demand it from a completely automated entity. Not a company with humans in it because a human company cannot compete in any way. So all the problems will be solved by artificial entities and partially consumed by humans. But all those frameworks are still wrong. We cannot yet comprehend how it will be, because you would need to be completely dissociated from your human self interests. Because current state humans won't be competitive. Simple as that. We will need to highly modified if our state even at all makes sense, otherwise we will simply be outcompeted by our children. Which is fine. A.I. is still human even if it does not leave space for traditional humans
I noticed you tailoring and adjusting your questions on the fly to focus the conversation to each speakers strengths and where you felt they could prove the most value and insight. It helped the speaker feel comfortable and make them able to talk about the subject in a way they are passionate about it. Super cool as a case study to see how well you use this technique. It definitely contributed to make the video better and kept it interesting. Thanks!
Ohh but I will say. I think that work as we know it may change a lot. Maybe we work 4 days but only 5 hour days. Maybe our jobs are things we don't currently think of as jobs like mentorship of youth or other community activism. I think that AI can make our world magnitudes better and make our lives more meanful and fulfilling instead of being so focused on obtaining a wage to pay bills and survive. I don't think people truly comprehend the exponential rate AI was improving at. I mean 10 years ago in 2013 AI was a type of buzzword. Big super computers winning at jeopardy or being the world's best go player. Fast forward only a decade and we have frigging chat gpt in our pockets on our cell phones. Language is solved. Vision is almost solved. From a serious of photos ai can build a live 3d environment that can be imported directly into software like unity or unreal engine. It's possible we are only 24 months away from self driving!? There are humanoid robots being developed that can already do basic tasks... as someone educated and working in the industry I don't think the majority of people have ANY idea what we are about to be hit over the head with. Life really will not be the same. Like the effect of space travel + the internet + cell phones combined.
Wow almost 100k subs... crazy to see how far you've come
good job on sampling opinions from tech people and people who at least have an idea on how AIs operate. Like the 1st person, I've also tried experimenting with generative AIs, so far, I've tried Bluewillow, Dall-e, Midjourney, it's been fun and learned a lot even when building a prompt.
I personally think AI will replace more jobs then people realize. And thats largely from a financial perspective as its undeniable that tech companies have made decisions in the past that were to the determent of their employees and for the betterment of the bottom line and share price. I don't think AI will ever completely replace a lot of roles but the end result will be less people being hired due to companies having a financial incentive to do so by forcing new and existing employees to use these tools as a time and cost saving measure.
Just observationally being in my 30s, a lot of entry level software engineering problems can be solved today using commercial tools like ChatGPT Plus (GPT 4). LLMs are going to be the Human-to-AI interface as LLMs grow to allow access to tooling and AI models that are trained for 1 specific purpose. And on the research side, those application specific AIs are the most interesting and potentially job destroying. There are medical AIs that can read X-rays better then Radiologists; Nvidia's purposed projects internally and with partners like Adobe are pretty groundbreaking as well. Will they replace 3d Artists who are currently employed at VFX companies or game studios? Probably not all of them, but the level of work a single or small team of artists will be able to create with these AI tools means that a lot less 3d artists will need to be hired on for a commercial project.
I see this same thing happening in tech, more so when companies start to develop their own LLMs that are trained internally on their own codebase and tools. Everything though, its still a year or so away. We are in the Commodore 64/Apple 2 era of AI as an analog to the rise of the computer industry. But with libraries like Pytorch getting better and better, while also becoming easier and easier to use with more and more people knowing how to create AI models - combined with the fact that the hardware required to train internal AI becoming cheaper and cheaper through innovation and cloud computing providers competing on pricing. I do not think companies creating their own models is far fetched or Sci-Fi at all. In fact, almost every company I know is doing exactly that today and it could be just 6 months to a year until they feel comfortable deploying these models internally or releasing new products to the public.
Seems like a lot of delusional optimism in this video. I don't want to even think of what it would take to curb the dangers to where everyone will agree on safe and logical protocols for it's usage... It's bad, really bad.
yea she was like "but AI will produce a lot of new jobs too right?" and I was like what no? Why would you make that weird assumption? The entire point of AI is to replace as many people as possible as fast as possible, the few new jobs that might be made is going to be far less than the tens or hundreds of millions of jobs lost to AI.
Once it gets to the point where companies are forcing engineers to use AI tools like ChatGPT, then go ahead and fire me. I don't have any interest in feeding prompts to AI all day. You literally could not pay me to code like that. So I'll gladly find something more rewarding if that's what it comes to. But, with that being said, that's my biggest concern here. I'm not worried about jobs. I'm worried about AI taking the soul out of what we do as humans.
@@JayTac1 thats really depend on job we did. in most case, the pragmatic one will survive better. its just like me as an old language programmer, need to learn js framework in the end.
in my experience, 3-man team with chatgpt give better delivery than 6-man team. we cant just fire 3 people out. it become matter between moral vs money.
the problem is, we cant stop other to choose money. let say a factory fully automated with ai and robot have low cost production, the competitor will have to fire their thousands employee to compete instead of being ruined.
@@JayTac1 Capitalism doesn't care buddy
Wow lucy hits the streets 🔥 congrats on your channel success fam
Thank youu! 😄
I give myself 10 years before AI makes me obsolete in the tech industry. AI is one of those exponentially improving systems that eventually will be able to learn not only the skills I know now and how I solve problems, but can find 10 other ways to solve those problems and pick the optimal solution, then provide an in-depth report about it and eventually can give the presentations and demos itself as well. Once AI is mature enough, tools will be built for regular business people to input whatever their requirements are with specifics into a plain English system, and the AI will spit out an entire buildable application that has been unit tested perfectly and deployed to cloud that meets all of those requirements in around 20 minutes. The only human IT staff needed at that point would be the ones who fix the systems the AI runs on when it breaks, and give it another 10 years before the AI will identify it is broken and fix itself.
the hyperscale datacenter operators like Google and AWS have already introduced robotics into their datacenters. Robot arms already remove and replace failed servers from racks. The nodes are delivered to humans for troubleshooting, but a lot of that is just due to today's hardware being designed for human hands - things like DIMM slots, etc. Eventually a lot of the design for robot aspects will be solved and the humans won't be needed to troubleshoot or repair failed hardware, robot arms will be able to handle the entire process from PCB design to PCB manufacture, PCB assembly, system assembly, rack & stack, deployment, maintenance, and decommissioning.
The thing is, if it were at that level, Us losing our jobs would be our last issue, the world would be such a drastically different place, I guess we’d just sit inside and be fed nutrients through a tube while jerking to VR porn. Tech isn’t always good
@@gordonramsdale lol, but, you right bro.
Interesting opinions!! Thanks Lucy for touring around and helping us with the new views on AI
Great contribution to receive advices of the people who know a lot of the theme
Keep in mind that compared to normal algorithms, AI (neural networks) have inherit error margins. So, there always needs to be ways to make sure whatever is produces works correctly. Images and videos doesn't matter as much as who cares if some pixel is off, but other stuff it's more important. Code works or not to compile for example. You can look AI to redo it, but then someone needs to make sure the logic created does what it should.
I think you are not factoring in how quickly ai is getting better, and if the models were on say specific coding areas, how good ai will be in the near future.
@@PhilKoay You mean that it statistically picks more what is expected, not that the error is gone. This is what the AI algorithm means when you feed it more data.
@@makesnosense6304 I'm really interested in your point of view. My view is , I think when you have a fundamental building block (e.g an algorithm, or a synapse) and you put that into a massive collection ( e.g llm, brain) you gets something that operates in a different realm from the component. Maybe another analogy might be quantum physics and physics. Btw this is definitely not my field of expertise. So the above is likely wrong.
@@PhilKoay Well, fundamentally an AI algorithm is a set of rules trying to build something that can go from A to B without you explicitly saying how to do it, like you would have done normally with code. This is why a lot of data is needed, so the internal representation can be updated and changed to do just that. When you download a GB model containing weights, its essentially just a bunch of numbers that are connected to each other with a specific meaning defined earlier. It's quite complex, but not magical. The "magical" part might be that humans would have a hard time grasping it by just looking at it, but it's build up by a lot of iterations and updates, so of course at first glance it wouldn't be easy to understand.
It's kinda like zipping a .txt file. If you have a plain .txt file you can easily read it. But use some algorithm to make the file smaller, it would be harder to understand the .txt.zip file. You could do it, but it's just more steps to unpack it.
To make this easier to understand, you just need to learn more on a higher level. For example, say you want to build something to create sentences. You could put words in a vector space, where the distance between the words is how common they are after each other. This vector space would be updated the more sentences you use. When you then query this vector space, the words you use would have a context and that would be used with the vector space to see what answer you were looking for. This is a simply model, and obviously more parameters and variables are used to make the model "smarter". And/or other kind of ways, but that would require more white paper reading. :)
But the point is that, if you grasp how this might work, you could imagine more complex would be possible. So, it's no alive. It's not magical. It's just very complex.
A synapse is essentially a connection between neurons enabling them to communicate. In code that could be a function call or just setting a value, depending on what level you want to look at.
@@PhilKoay Also, zipping a file means you always get the original file back, that would be a bit different with AI, as it works differently. My point here was just to illustrate how quickly something can go from easy for us humans to understand to something more complex that is quicker using a CPU/GPU...
Set aside ChatGPT for a bit, AI has already been automating a lot our day-to-day tasks for a very long time. Movie & product recommendations, certain weather forecasting models, virtual assistants, vehicle safety features such as Audi's pre-sense, the list goes on and on. A lot of these technologies have been impacting our day-to-day lives since the 90s (maybe the 80s? happy to be corrected)
And since then the number of jobs have been growing. As a software engineer & AI/ML specialist, I always tell people AI is not their enemy when it comes to job security.
Interesting, you are working with the enemy and telling others it's not the enemy.
So, I would say that with time more and more niche AI models will be made and some might even be a business were they are sold. These models would then be used on own data to do whatever they are specified for.
Another great video, Lucy! This is definitely on a lot of people's minds!
Thank you!! 😊🙌

In 10-15 years AI and automation will replace at least 20-25% of people, no matter what kind of job. Those learning right now will face hard times in the future if the AI won't be managed in the right ways, especially if society won't propose alternatives.
The only person that's doing absolutely fine is Anne 6:51. She's gonna retire soon. Even if AI replace her in the next 5 year, it wouldn't affect her much.
If you're under 40? Ha! You have to be smart.
Not just smart in the sense of knowing new things. Make good life decision. Choose a company that is less likely to be replaced. Otherwise, good luck finding a new job in an over-saturated market.
@@li_tsz_fung If AI can allow us to produce some things 10 times more easily than right now, it makes prices drop. If prices of everything drop, then you need much less income to live.
While AI might replace a lot of jobs, it will simply free resources to work on other things that are just more useful. Like having more people in healthcare. Or for example, if we want more organic permaculture farming in order to reduce pollution, then we need more farm workers because most machines used in modern agriculture are destroying the land.
And in fact, some current societies in the Middle East are basically showing us what a society would look like with advanced AI. Instead of AI, some countries oil rich countries like Qatar or Saudi Arabia pay foreign workers with their billions of oil money and Saudi and Qatari nationals end up working very little because of that. The same could happen if AI one day can replace most jobs, but in better because it wouldn't work using foreign labor who are generally treated poorly...
@@PG-3462 I agree. But I think the world will still need a few years to adjust. What if the country you live in just can't attract any tech giants to operate there? Taxing on the struggling companies won't be a viable long term plan.
Eventually we might have some international cooperation. But that won't happen overnight. So, save up
@@li_tsz_fung Changes will always be gradual. I personally know some major well known corporations that are still using computer systems from the 1980s with black screens and green letters to manage their inventories...
Some AI replacing all jobs rapidly actually won't ever happen. Maybe one day, but we're not there yet. And will AI replace some jobs soon? Probably, but it is not a big deal and there will always be work to be done.
the day that ai replace 25% of jobs in america we will be flying to mars and back in 3 hours
"If you love tech and you're excited by tech, you should just give it a go, nothing in life gives you full answers, you're never going to be 100% sure whether is the right thing but thats part of life" Thank you for this for the third person
Thank you for this content Lucy, I'm inspired. and thanks for the links to ZTM i'll give it a try
Now This has cleared all my worries, Thanks Lucy.
"AI is going to be very useful", "AI is going to create new jobs". They just say this but never go into detail at all
for real this so much
its going to create new jobs because of more things will have to be created to support the new things being created something like the machines that build cars since the companies can create more cars quicker they need more sales people also the roads need more road workers and other things around the innovation of machines
for AI to replace software developers. It would need to generate perfect code. Im an embedded software/firmware developer and it will take some time. The big issue will be that some engineer will still need to verify everything. Ask chatGPT to write a PCIe or a Ps2 device driver lol
I started warning about how advanced AI was going to get in 2018, and I was laughed at. Now? People are still in denial. The stages of grief will pass, eventually.
In the industries I have worked security and data integrity are huge concerns. Unless those corporations are going to build their own custom, bespoke AI solutions it likely won't effect their business. Because there's no way they can open up their data to outside vendors.
If chatGpt replaces testing job that would be Automation as that is highly repetitive once you put in the code you need to keep running it and maintain it. Manual testing is something where engineers talk to devs, pm, understand the business modal, talk to users and analyze the use case. I don’t see AI is there yet. But definitely it will replace many jobs than we are anticipating it today😢
Nah. It will be fine. It will improve productivity much less than expected, and the productivity will be greedily absorbed by tech companies. There may be a lull, as there is every decade or two in tech, but this really is just a very big chatbot.
@@AUniqueHandleName444 We'll have to see, but if you think about it, corporations would have access to ai technology that can run and maintain businesses 'round the clock consistantly. They won't need prompts for their businesses, simply because the program is provided the training that it needs and can perform said tasks without intervention
I am an 8 year experienced engineer and I LOVE AI, why? Because I finally get to have what I want! Instead of begging an animation company to create an anime of an underrated game we loved, AI will now be able to do that with improvements over the next decade, INSTANTANEOUSLY and FREE!
Of course that has nothing to do with Engineering so now I will answer from my perspective. My org already uses chatGPT or bard. Actually only execs have access to chatGPT (wtf right) but we can get around it by using bard (I prefer gpt)
Anyways heres my experience with it as a senior Engineer:
It cannot solve contemporary problems. AI depends on preexisting knowledge set. It cannot brainstorm NEW solutions. All those beautiful websites and design patterns it uses in generated code? All that my friends already exists in abundance on the internet, and realistically no company actually needs that stuff in their existing products. So who does that really benefit? Either new entrepreneurs or students who want to build personal websites, but then again theres many free services like wix that have existed for a decade that offer free website building and allowes for easier customization too...with chatGPT or other AI tools, you need to assume the person knows what they are doing with the generated code otherwise it all looks geberish to a noobie. They still need to buy custom domains and configuring a payment model for traffic, such as the loadbalancer and AI doesn't have access to your credit cards nor can it create accounts on server providers like AWS or Azure nor can it purchase domains.
However this DOES mean less need for web designers or front end engineers, not fully extinct but fewer jobs in that area.
So I think SRE and Devops Engineering will be the most in demand tech title in the next decade because at least for now, AI cannot solve incidents such as service unavailability or major network disruptions or the ability to scale up or down as needed. Youd have to feed the entire company's codebase to an AI model and no company is gonna do that to expose their proprietary product tech to a vendor AI's servers as has been shown with samsung. And even if the companies build their own models that will require building their own datacenters with expensive supercomputers that requires at least a decade to setup, not to mention maintenance...so who is gonna be supporting the platform during that timeframe? We get about 5 software incidents/2 weeks, and everyone of the solutions was unique and never found on the internet. So how will AI be able to help here? It wont, at least for a very long time. When I used it, it spat out the same recommendations you find everywhere:
1. Restart
2. Check configuration
3. Check credentials
4. Check NSG's
Etc. And none of that was helpful. The problem turns out to be an expired certificate in a keyvault after support engineers analyzed the traffic logs. Another incident was sonething wrong with the palo Altos. Stuff like that AI cannot recommend unique solutions for the meantime because its dependent on existing knowledge bases
great video!! i think what this whole thing boils down to is, we will all need to learn a new set of skills to survive and thrive. And everybody hates to start over at the beginning again. 👍🤠
Two problems with that. One - Humans need time to learn a skill well enough to be employable in that field. Likely years. So you spend years to learn a new set of skills that AI is capable to learn in minutes or seconds. Now what? By the time you gain the new skills, chances are, your new field is obsolete too thanks to AI. Do you have another few years to upskill again for no good reason? Not likely. And two. How are you going to survive in these in-between years of learning those new skills, if you're homeless, no electricity, and no food to eat because your old job is gone and you don't yet have new AI-proof skills to get another job? You have to survive somehow. And again, how do you invest time and money into AI-proofing your career if you don't know what will be AI proof 1 year from now..or 5 years from now? No one can tell what exponential growth looks like in the long run. Whoever claims to know where this ends is very naive or lying.
@@reginacb79you may be surprised, but I do agree with you very much.
i think in the future a person may need as many self-sufficient skills along with tech-skills, just to survive.
The current consensus is that AI will serve as a supplement to tech jobs that allows higher level thinking. However this will require those working in tech to adapt and learn skills that AI can't do for them.
This video is super informative 👏 👌 Lucy. Thanks
you rock lucy im interested in getting into cloud computing but I have zero coding skills I love your videos
When we start using all these different reactive machine AI tools in neural nets to solve more and more complex problems (AGI), this is when AI will start taking over more decision making roles; as it will be able to opperate with capability levels closer to humans.
I work in education and to say AI could not replace because requiring face to face interaction. I think is crazy naive. Having an AI for each student that could teach or basically be a 1 on 1 tutor and would be boatloads cheaper to utilize and would probably provide a better educational experience.
I think AI as more of a calculator than anything! When the calculator was invented, did it replace mathematicians? If anything, I think all industries will operate more efficiently due to the integration of AI! The barrier of entry is just raised like how someone who knows the very basics of maths can be replaced by a calculator! But if you are smart and able to adapt, there is literally nothing to worry about!
@@tarunraja2006There is fundamental problem with ur example. I am too lazy to type.
Honestly, If AI replaces me (I am a software engineer/full-stack), I will be happy. I will move on, I will have an excuse to start something new.
yeah to become a NEET
The first guy gave the best responses
Excellent video, great to see it.
Thanks for watching!
I mean, a lot of engineers in silicon valley were overpaid googlers that were hired simply to lower the amount of available workers to competitors.
Is it any surprise AI was developed to be able to code when companies were paying 6 figures salaries for people that barely did any work?
thats why google is playing catch up at the moment i bet they are working now
Another amazing tech employees video! I learned a lot about AI and it’s future. That also explains why ChatGPT is so valued in anything I do for my day to day life. Thank you Lucy for this video 😃
You sound like gpt ngl
I think ai replacing everything can also be dangerous because people often feel a sense of usefulness and joy when doing their jobs but if no one has a job then more people will be depressed and no one will have the money to buy anything, making all these corporations go bankrupt. In the long run, all these people that advocate for ai replacing everything will end up regretting it later on
WEF's answer to that is drugs and video games.
@@Sesanoq can’t buy either if ur broke
@@speedietruck4861 Ubi.
Well yeah but their product will probably be significantly cheaper
Beautiful Lucy, so what do you think a newbee trying to go into tech shiuld be thinkjng about. What roles or learning path should one work on critically. Especially for someone wuth background in Maths and Stats.
We can boost scientific progress by processing data from Boinc distributed computing software
Somehow answering someone "I have been in tech longer have you have been on this planet" is satisfying lol!
Im 29 years old and i have a question to ask. Should i jump on IT study that will take me 3 years or is it not work it? The scary part is how AI will develop in those 3 years. I dont want to sit on a useless degree by then!
Advice is to research different jobs in AI and Machine Learning and how you can break into them. Or find certain blue collar jobs (plumbing for example) that will require dexterity and therefore be harder to automate. Either way, maybe get a side-hustle going to get some side money.
Don’t count on the UBI economy coming to save us as we have a big “dog eat dog” and “fuck you got mine” mentality in this country. Even the world quite frankly.
ALX brought me here and I love your videos😍
I am happy to hear this insights
Adopt and adapt just use whatever we can to do the best we can.
Good one Lucy. Thank ✨🤟🍷🤟✨
I believe the value will be found in higher level assignments. Instead of front-end dev the value will be full stack, instead of cloud support there will be more cloud architects etc..
I am going to the AWS Summit 1st of June in Amsterdam. I am completely starting at cloud and learning a lot now from the Udemy courses of Stephan and Neil. I am excited to go to the summit. What to expect as a cloud beginner from the AWS Summit? Can you tell something about it Lucy?
Nice! Aws summit is great for networking - meeting other clouds in the cloud space. Also the presentations and sessions are valuable, especially the non-Tech ones
Thank you for your reply. Looking forward to the AWS summit.
What is it like living in Amsterdam?
Honestly, not many of them actually seem very up to date with current AI capabilities... They were understating a fair bit of it.
Hey Lucy!! Do you need to be from computer science background to get into AWS? i am from commerce background but I am currently working as mis executive in network domain. Please suggest
I like David's perspective
Thank you for the first person too much valuable information.
That lady was 100% right. Loved her response. You never know until you try. Just go for it
Man, the Anne-Marie answers were the best. I love it.
Everything new will create more jobs. Whatever it may be, computers, medicines, material science or spaceships, specialist are still needed.
Thank you very much Lucy!
*Wonderful content!*
Thanks!! 😊😊
Interesting interview.
Awesome content lucy!
Thanks!!
Great video, a wide variety of people opinions
A job lost and job gained is not guaranteed to be an equal exchange. Saying you displace 85 million jobs and gain 97 million jobs can be EXTREMELY misleading. If the 85 million jobs averaged 100,000 salary and the 97 million average 50,000 salary than the businesses save money and the workforce foots the bill.
exactly, easier you are to replace less you will be paid.
who knows what's ai actual means will say no , who don't have any idea only on top will say, yes/maybe
When somebody says "of course you should join our sector, we need more humans involved", you should worry.,
When you work for a very large software company (especially DoD) there's no way they'd let code out the door without it being code reviewed by an engineer. Even if you generate code using AI, you'll need an engineer to review it and remediate any security issues.
I wonder how many jobs will that create, maybe "Code Reviewers" has a ring to it.
also if the top companies are using the same ai to build who will make the things being built different this is what we really should focus on
As I kid i think that you should make your self good at learning new and hard stuff faster so whenever a high paying work gets automated then because you are smart enough and learn work of any high paying job faster than you will probably never getting into any problems and can life a good decent life
When he said testing might be replaced… my heart stopped. I’m a testing engineer… 😢
Hi, Lucy, great job.
ohhhh thanks, this made me calm.
I think that high-level programming will become obsolete due to artificial intelligence, forcing a shift to real-life level programming languages. This is similar to the transition our ancestors made from low-level to high-level programming languages.
programming will become alot different a work day might look like someone just moving knobs around all day and making sure the A.I is doing the right thing
Ai will not replace you
the person whos using AI will replace you
simple!!! great video lucy keep it up👍
Well said!
No, the company hiring the person using AI is replacing 100 people with the one person.
@@BlackamusJones who cares if the AI is 100% of what replaces your job, when your job is gone?
@@JohnKerbaugh what jobs will still be there?
@@ms45226 I doubt anyone knows with any certainty. But any given white-collar task could be augmented. Depending on detail of inputs, predictability of outputs, trust required, regulatory environment, availability of the related data and ease of wrapping the tasks in some software then charging for it as a service.
Bigger the money, lighter the regulations and more predictability of a sort. Note graphical generation hints at a different kind of predictability. Some things will only need a limited set of inputs and some coherent, possibly multiple optional, outputs to crush a task.
The thing is for every job absorbed there may be more created. Knowing how many of any will be high paying, desirable, protected from future AI is going to be a constant question.
I think instead of having the thought process of “oh no, AI will take my job” its more beneficial to think “I wonder what kind of Jobs integrating AI will create for someone with my skills and how will I adapt my expertise to the situation”.. we knew this was going to happen and we already see it happening faster than anyone expected.. its fair to assume that if you are worried about your Job getting taken by AI, that means its time to start adapting your skillset and finding your place in this coming workscape.
Oh yes I can work as a "Entry level AI Cashier Supervisor" making 100K year.
A lot of people seem to be talking about prompt engineering, as if that would be the new thing. I don't think prompt engineering is a thing. I think the AI will give you the answers it can give you, regardless of how well you structure your prompt. As someone who has spent days trying to get a simple POST request working, this will not replace programmers. Developers will be out of jobs in the short term, but that's because companies are dumb and short-sighted, and don't think about anything beyond profits.
Coders going from spending days implementing code, to spending days fixing generated code, sounds awful. Code that the company will likely be charged per token for, so not getting it right in a few attempts will add up (no more having developers work on code over the weekend for free, you're still paying something), and the attempts needed will increase as it gets more complex.
The companies that adopt this will have some sweet quarters at first, thinking they've struck gold. The lucky ones will run into problems quickly. The unlucky ones will use this for decades to come, because along with other reasons, they invested heavily into this, and can't easily undo it. They will have decades of boilerplate built upon decades of boilerplate. They hire so infrequently that they are no longer being discussed in developer circles. And now so few qualified people apply to them that even their senior developers have no clue how the code works.
One day they have an error in the code. No biggie. They know what to do. And they past the error into their proprietary ChatGPT tool, and sure enough, it gives them some code to fix the error, and maybe even tells them where to paste it, so they don't have to think about what to do at all. They paste it, but this time it does something different. It doesn't fix the issue.
They talk to the tool, saying the issue is still there. The tool apologizes, and give some different code that breaks it in another way. They give it this new error, and get more code back that doesn't fix the issue.
At that moment, the business is dead. There is nothing it can do to save itself. It's already too late.
It will not happen instantly. It will be a slow death over months, maybe even years, as core features start to become inconsistent and non-functional. The business will try to hire developers to look at the code, but it can take years to understand enterprise code in its entirety. This business won't last that long.
All I am hearing from those people is wishful thinking. What I can say AI will not replace them yet, but will create new programmers like myself. But soon a coder will be a dying profession. The language that we speak will even change, soon we will speak a completely different language... ALL OF US all over the planet. The first thing an AI will change is how we communicate.
can you elaborate on what you mean? how do we communicate now vs how you think we will communicate in the future?
It's scary how easily insiders look at the arrival of AI and how short their future horizon is, instead of seeing the future of their jobs at least a few steps ahead... They are obviously overwhelmed with their specific daily job tasks to be able to unencumbered and fully grasp the force of the changes that lie ahead. It takes someone like Geoffrey Hinton to paint a true picture of the future...
A worthy one Lucy, keep going.
Thanks for watching!
It would be interesting to revisit this video in the next 2 years to see if any of these people were right or wrong. The internet never forgets.
Thanks, Lucy!
Thanks for watching 😊
The big issue is that humans are so limited, always concerned with their jobs, their purpose, and their impact in this life, fueled by the need to feed and have shelter. For example, people working for companies often point to leaders and CEOs for blame; for job loss, over working, low incomes. If only every worker decided to form their own company, use business management skills, caress investors to drum-up financial support to negotiate deals with suppliers and horizontally integrate-able service providers, work countless hours (without certainty of success), problem solving secondary problems preventing you tackling your main problems - to find a workable solution that fits your projects... and then when success comes along your employees believe they deserve more. Imagine if humans were born CEOs with that type of workload and responsibility. It would be great because people would not need to look at their CEOs for blame.
No I don’t think AI will Never replace our jobs we need to study educated & learn about AI keep in mind AI is a machine they still need us regardless ppl
Regarding the effect of AI to the Tech & IT Industry; I think the biggest impact will be remote tech interview tasks. Employers would want to give interviewees a special application where they can do their tests/tasks. I still don’t think AI will replace junior developers; It will reduce the time spent on training them. It will also make startups and businesses more productive and there will be a significant increase in applications and softwares deployed on cloud services. The businesses that will survive are the ones that are innovative, solve real problems and care more for their customers. Regarding the educational sector, certifications and work experience will become more relevant because employers may not trust self taught individuals who are new to the industry.
i thinks its enough room or work to be done for devs to stay around for years to come
Great video
The way I see it ai will eliminate jobs to the point where the only people that will make any money are business owners and investors. As the cost to produce anything rapidly drops, prices will go down to the point where money is worthless and when you want something, you just ask a machine to produce it for you for free as ai doesn't care about labor. Once robots get sophisticated enough humans will never be able to compete with them in a job market.
what are your advice to young people about choosing a carrer, job?
@@LuisGustavo-hz4gx go into a trade job. Those will take the longest to automate out of existence. Otherwise, take a business class, learn how AI works and start a business.
