Recently got talking to a content writer - she has given it up because she saw a big drop in clients. I wonder, once AI is even more powerful and can do all sorts of tasks - would that not put a lot of peoples jobs/work at risk>
Depends on the nature of the field you're working in, but I'd say yes for the most part.
Jobs that require physical labour will always require people to assist them.
I personally believe jobs that revolve around writing, performing, graphic design, art, and potentially coding are at the most risk.
I feel like AI at its current level is more of a party trick than anything else. It just grabs whatever info it can find and averages it out to form a response regardless of if the end result carries any actual meaning. And there’s a limit to how much content it can produce before it starts feeding of itself and getting dumber
"AI" is such a general term. ChatGPT? No, and it's only bad if people use it badly. Image AIs? Depends on the usage - there's a dif between posting AI art and using to visualize ideas. Skynet/anything that could destroy the world? Yes, if it has ways to kill everyone without anyone being able to stop it
