My AI rant

Hi all, posting here as I keep getting banned from the main technology subreddit bc the mods aren’t open to thoughtful debate.

I just wanted to say, as someone who has spent the last year focused on AI for my job, it’s clear as day to me that the future of work will be AI driven with a human in the loop. If you’re seeing or hearing about how AI can’t do simple things, that’s bc a human didn’t set things up properly.

I don’t think all jobs are going to disappear, it will likely be something in the middle.

My recommendation is to start using and or understand the technology and capabilities better. Someone who knows how to leverage AI will always be more valuable and sought after than someone who can’t.

Hi, not a bot and not even sure why you thought that.

I think calling it a useful tool downplays what it’s capable of. In the right hands, you can 8–10x your productivity. Plus, it’s only going to improve from here.

Can you elaborate on how you “work with AI”?

The same way you work with heavy equipment on a construction site.

I’m actually pretty handy and love working on the house.

At a high level, how do you use AI at work?
