Will AI take your job?

Found AI really good at reporting on meetings or created BS management documents that management ask for but never read. Saves a lot of time. Which I can spend doing something more interesting.

A more sustainable one would be where money is put into a fund from which future pensions are paid. That way, if the State suffered economically, pensions would still be protected. I don't think many countries work that way, though.

Have you heard of the My Future Fund auto-enrolment pension fund? Within the next 30 years, the pension issue will likely be resolved. There is no doubt that the advanced welfare states in the world are becoming stressed; however, how much of an issue it is could be debated. The UAE has one of the biggest solar farms in the world; the biggest solar farm in the world is in China. Humans are not very good at estimating what the real issues are. For example, from the 1970s population explosion was considered one of the biggest crises facing humanity. Billions went into research and policy on the issue, the same with nuclear power.

From the AI overview,

Pension payments were about

9.34% of Irish public spending in 2024

, or about 

27%

 of the Social Protection budget in 2023.

Its significant.

relax folks, modern economies cant survive with substantially high levels of unemployment for prolonged periods, if ai causes high levels of unemployment, everything collapses, even ai companies!

I work as a bi-lingual secretary I also do interpretation and translation and I also teach pilates. SO I am assuming so yes.

But here is the thing how expensive is it to run?

Who knows. Im not worrying about it because what is the point? You have to deal with it.

I have a degree in philosophy and speak 3 languages but i also used to do hairdressing and i was thinking of trying that again. Then someone told me AI hairdessing is the next big thing .. partic for colourists .. i have NO idea how.

It's not just what your final salary was. It's based off the current salary of that grade. Amazing deal if you are on it.

You're using it wrong...

I'm hearing Claude AI from anthropic as the best available for coding assistant currently but of course that will be for about 2 months until something else surpasses it

Interesting take that a plumber is one of the “shittiest” jobs around, do they tell apprentice plumbers that I wonder? Same as well with nursing, which is what you implied.

I’d have both of those careers as incredibly skilled and important, not the “shittiest” like you describe. Careful you don’t fall off that high horse you’re on.

Got in early with your bias there. Interesting you don't really use it AND didn't Google the data.

A quick Google (with AI) at studies suggest Technophobia is mostly within older age group 70+ and higher with women.

"..

Gen Z leads in educational use, with 61% using AI for learning and school. This contrasts sharply with older generations' focus on workplace applications: Gen X (53%) and Millennials (50%) primarily use AI for professional tasks...."

In my experience the people who start using AI in a workplace are mostly the power users. A lot of young people think they use technology a lot. But they are not as interested in traditional work and technology. They'll know how to use all the apps on their phone. But less interested in fixing that phone or be a power user of Office Apps.

I think people underestimate the power of AI now and in the future.

I'll give an example. Its starting to be used in the legal world to examine and issue contracts.

Theoretically, AI could decide a court case. You upload all the evidence and submissions from both sides and AI makes a decision.

Can you imagine the resistance in the legal world to that?!

I think AI will (and is) be used initially in fields with little bureaucratic barriers, like IT, education etc. Slowly it will start to infiltrate other fields, finance, medical, legal and so on. There will be huge pushback from vested interests.
