Is Ai coming for your job? (also, updated Ai development)

Ctizen concerns won't beat out the cold hard cash... Somebody was paid.
Remember, we created this AI. Just wait until AI creates more AI by itself.

It is a useful tool.
Whilst I have been criticized for using it as much as I do, I am not beholden to it, either.
That being said, I can now take random leftovers from the last three or for meals still in the fridge (carrots, celery, etc), and ask AI "what can I do with all of this stuff"? I've had some amazing results, and I no longer throw good food away in the process.
I liken it to a really smart search engine, one that can provide really good responses.
It's technology. People like to bang on Audible because it replaces reading with audio, but it's still getting the book's message across. I use it a lot on my 2-3 hikes each week.
I know there is a current worry about replacing front-line healthcare with AI bots, but I have been pretty successful in having AI help me. diagnose minor aches and pains, or giving me advice on worries such as skin cancer. In any case, as with my skin cancer worry, I always sought out medical attention after my research. In other words, AI will always be a source of information....but it cannot replace medical attention if the situation presents itself with more seriousness.
Fortunately, I am not in the tribe of worrying about it taking my job in the future - as I am now pleasantly retired. Although, I can remember the late 1990s/early 2000s, when I fretted about H1B's from India coming and taking my I.T. job opportunities away. That never really materialized as I spent 40+ years in the "bidnez" and never had any problems finding a job.
Like any new technology, those that are not able to adapt or relearn might get left behind. But new human job opportunities always crop up when technology alters the workplace. Hopefully, that remains to be the case.

I truly think the biggest impact to humanity from AI is going to be in the medical field. There are numerous examples of where AI will be able to do things better without getting tired and making mistakes. The first thing that comes to mind is reading scans. whether they are x-rays, MRIs, cancer scans, etc. AI is going to have the knowledge of thousands, of not millions, of doctors inside. It will be able to read scans at an almost infinitesimal level and catch things humans miss. Totally robotic surgery will come too but it's going to be awhile on that one.
I have represented, over the years, three groups of pathologists that I can think of. Before the business meeting, which I attended, someone was always late, one doc would be hunched over a microscope. (I'm sure these days, it would be a big screen on the wall.) The next doc who came in, the examining doc would say "Hey, come take a look at this. Do you think it's cancer?" I'm not sure I want a piece of software making the final call on questions like that. Advice? Sure. Final decision, a great, big "NO!" I'm old, but I'm no Luddite. I've both programmed and built computers. It'll be a long time before I have that kind of trust over human judgment...
It is already here... We have a medical AI - Open Evidence - that is a fascinating tool. I've found it useful already and it allows you to find resources and trial results very quickly. It is allied with most of the major players and vetted. NEJM, NCCN, Cochrane, etc.
Those are not the sort of thing which scares me. I just finished my SBRT series. There was a doc in another room, guiding the final alignment before the techs started the machine. I like that...
Yes... I mainly use it for fleshing out the details of the outline in my brain and finding studies and papers. It doesn't do anything autonomously!
I've had three robotic surgeries. The surgeries went fine. One turned south because someone who touched the wounds had E Coli on his/her gloves. That led to sepsis and AKI. My kidneys were almost killed by a green nephrologist I won't name...
My regular was out of town. The girl they sent in when my GFR went to 22 and creatinine to 15 took me off three. Where the E. Coli was the surgeon's opinion. He told me. It was bilateral and not my E. Coli...
I use AI a lot at work. I treat it like the jr. network engineer that is trying to impress the senior guys. In my use, AI is only as good as the questions and data you feed it. I'll ask it, in a fairly detailed manner, to research something for me and bring me back the results. Depending on those results I may feed it more info, or ask different questions. What may have taken me many hours over several weeks to research, now takes mere minutes sometimes. But, as the senior engineer asking the junior for this research, it is still my job to read everything and validate the findings. AI does make mistakes, and on our team the senior level engineers with years of real world experience still have the responsibility of making sure it's accurate, and fixing the inaccuracies.
This. My father died of CJ. A proper diagnosis would not have, obviously, affected the ultimate outcome, but only one of three doctors read his brain scan correctly and he was unsure of himself, having just graduated Med School. I mean, what were the odds?
My grandson is going to study mechanical engineering at a university on the Tennessee river that I refuse to name. We were talking about how AI would impact hiring in the next few years. I pointed out that AI can be a great tool, but someone has to sign off on the results. If something goes wrong, they will be looking for someone not something to blame.
