This is an opinion and while it may align with facts, there are things I just don't know about this new technology that some of the ideas I have may just outright be wrong.
AI and Jobs
So, everybody seems to be afraid of how AI will take away jobs. It won't. Like all tools invented, one job will just be replaced. We may be obsoleted, but it doesn't mean jobs will disappear. Horse tenders gave way to auto mechanics; foragers gave way to farmers. Librarians became digital in a way, they're probably a hybrid with informations systems specialists.
Fact is, to be employed we need to be abreast with the turmoil. AI is a disruptive technology, and indeed the disruption has been massive and hard. thousands of jobs lost. Programmers and Software Engineers now have to be able to engineer prompts for vibe coding.
Survival
I write this as a person affected by AI. My job has been obsoleted and we're still trying to figure out how to navigate a world turned upside-down by new technology. So I'm back to learning, perhaps I'll get through this landscape full of people like me, and we'll be all-the-better for it.
As part of this learning path, I've started learning AI and so far, it seems interesting, I have not had the opportunity to vibe-code I have had the opportunity to code with AI assistance. I'm not quite sure if those are the same.
The Cycle
I've had the opportunity to fine-tune an AI model and have pondered how this might apply to certain scenarios (which I thought out in my head as a thought experiment). AI might just solve some of the most boring and mundane jobs humans can do. The same kind of thing that happens in the past is happening now. We might decry the rise of brain-rot, but our ancestors will bemoan the loss of our ability to hunt game and prepare our food. The young ones now can't write cursive anymore, but as we lose some things, we gain other things and skills. This is a cycle, and this is why I don't believe that we'll be losing jobs. We lose our jobs, be we might find others. Of course, it might require a different kind of skillset, but still.
