    Yeah it plays out for every generation. I was told to be a teacher because there’ll be a lot of retirements when I graduated. So many applicants that none gets jobs to this day.

    We told years for 10 years to be coders. Now AI is replacing those jobs.

    Long term outlook, I’d suggest to.look into careers that a machine won’t likely be able to do and maintains the health, safety, and comfort of people. Safe water, wastewater, energy supply, construction, and other similar fields will hopefully be safe against this new technological reality.

    If you agree, you’re in on the ground floor before it gets saturated from millions of people that are getting put out of work in the next little while.

      That’s objectively false. We’re decades away from replacement. For now they’re only good at supplementing existing software engineers.

        I’ve already used ChatGPT to write code to automate tasks for my work, essentially eliminating a contract to someone who actually studied to do that.

        This is happening all over the world and accelerating in pace as the tools grow stronger. Not all jobs will go, but the ones that stay will be highly competitive and hard to obtain for most.

          You’re just sending out code written by ChatGPT without reviewing it and validating it first? That’s a quick way to lose your job indeed.
