Wait till bad actors harness AI. There will be all types of new scams. Job loss will be significant. IBM is pausing 7800 jobs that could be replaced by AI overtime.
It's coming for every white collar job that is not related to tech.
Lawyers, Loan officers, etc are fucked. Within a decade if not 5 years.
You forgot one thing: the government. They'll regulate the fuck out of it.
They love to list lawyers on this list, but what they really mean is paralegal and low-level associate volume work. The judgment isn't there yet for a real lawyer. Accountants? Much more vulnerable. Traders and Finance Bros? Already happening. Fake conservative debaters on anonymous internet message boards? Already happening. And as I said long ago, coders are also on the hook. The AI can or will be able to code better than people.
It technically has the ability to replace everybody. It won't. We're freaking out again like it's Y2K, which turned out to be a nothing sandwich.
Can't stop progress. The benies will outweigh the costs. May as well sit back and enjoy it and let @oregonblitzkrieg rant about it wherever he ran off to. Maybe this is the beginning of a technological evolutionary pivot Marx envisioned as giving birth to his socialist paradise where scarcity is eliminated. @UW_Doog_Bot ?

Low level repetitive processes will go first. Paralegal stuff.
Same will be true in accounting. Bookkeepers will go bye bye.
The 5 year window is about right. It won’t take 10 years. The pace at which things are moving is crazy.
In things like legal and finance, higher level professionals will use AI as a supplement to their work. Those that don’t will get toasted.
Yeah my previous comment was a bit hyperbolic.
This will just further emphasize the need to solve problems, fast, and the turn key positions in most fields will be what is replaced.
Many people will love the tools long term.
Still something that society will need to deal with, in one form or another.
Agree. There's no stopping it. And the benies are potentially huge. I already have a loved one who benefits critically from AI as it exists today. The fuck am I going to support slowing it down. Bring it on. If I have to learn to do something else, so be it.

Creep gets it.
Im also not convinced that the AI is sophisticated as it's being claimed to be
I use ChatGPT for some things at work, as should anyone with half a brain. It has obvious limitations.
It's a useful tool. But it's more like a calculator than it is a human brain

Wait????
What planet are you currently inhabiting jimmy cornel?
I’ve been demoing some software packages lately. Hadn't looked at anything for about a year. Got led down the ChatGP rabbit hole in the process.
Incredible how far things have come in a short time. Watched a session where a senior accounting person essentially turned the ChatBot into a first year staff person in about a hour. The learning curve on these machines is amazing and they don't have a know it all attitude like the Millenials/GenZers.
@creepycoug is correct - the low level grunts in any profession are going to get picked off first. If I was a bookkeeper or paralegal, I'd learn how to drive an excavator or build an OnlyFans page. They are toast. And toast like 5 years or less toast. Their only saving grace is partners in law and accounting firms are old and slow to change their ways so there will be a few stragglers. But once the upper level folks start bragging to one another about how much money they are saving, it's over.
Hell, I'm old enough to remember when financial statements were typed up by the secretary - and there were shitloads of secretaries who didn't know shit about accounting, they just knew how to type. Legal matters were conducted by dictaphone and yellow pad. There was no such thing as word processing or spreadsheets.
More senior people will just have their underlings deal with the AIBots and then ride off into the sunset.
The people who should be shitting bricks are the ones in their late 30s/early 40's who've already paid their dues with grunt work but aren't quite old enough to think about retiring. They'll be next on the chopping block. Once the bots perfect the low level shit, their learning will logically move up to the next level of work.

I'm wondering if the diseases actually came from my Vikings who beat Spain to America rather easily. They visited around the time that the plague had come to Europe from China

Replaced is replaced.
We may finally be witnessing the decline of Racebannon. Real Race would never reach for that one.
Pretty fucking stupid
The first thing flooring AI wants to do is kill all the lawyers
When superior intelligence meets inferior its always bad for inferior
And yes I'm saying the Spaniards were superior in intelligence and force
Like aliens would be
Independence Day is more likely than rainbows and unicorns if aliens arrive
As the senator (or whomever) once said, if it's going to happen, may as well sit back and enjoy it.
It's going to be like the Jetsons around here. AI will hold your beer, and get you a cold one before you even knew you wanted one.
