AI will not take your job. Here is what I think will happen instead.

Key Takeaways

I am so sick of listening to people who keep telling us how AI is going to take all of our jobs and we're not going to have anything else to do because of AI etc etc and I think uh it's time for me to tell you what I think the future will look like that this is what I believe this is a different an alternative version of AI coming and AI increasing in power and in capabilities I should say so now I'm not sure if this is what going to come to be but this is what I believe will happen so here is the thing there are two camps right now and Camp number one are the people who think that because of AI is getting so good well companies will stop hiring other people like if Netflix it's it's hiring right now 10,000 Engineers well they're going to need to higher half of them and Netflix is going to be able to do the same thing they're doing right now now but much faster and much cheaper therefore they don't need that many employees that's Camp number one okay and there are several things that when I look at this theory that I really don't like so I'm going to be in Camp number two and this is what I think will happen well instead of thinking of AI as coming and and helping us do the same that we're doing today but faster and cheaper how about using AI to lift the ceiling that right now we have imposed on ourselves because of the you know the point we are in history so instead of thinking that we're going to be able to do the same but faster and cheaper think that we're going to be able to do way more so maybe we do not cost costs we keep spending the same but we get much further because of that like I keep thinking of an airline right Airlines have just crappy websites doesn't matter where you go their websites suck big time now version one Camp one tells you that because of AI the airline will continue to produce this crappy experience but we'll do that much cheaper therefore they're not going to need that many Engineers to do that what about if instead of that future we get a future where the airline keeps the same number of employees keeps spending the same amount of money but can build a decent experience instead so they can move further from where they are right now if you look at history that is what has happened we've been able to push Beyond the limits that we've had before I think that is what we are going to see with AI so I do not believe that AI is going to take these all of these jobs of course there's going to be job disruption just like with any piece of new tech that we've seen in history but this idea that software developers all of the sudden are all going to be out of jobs that nobody else will have anything else to do that AI is just going to take cover I just don't bite it I don't think that is what the future holds for us I think there hasn't been a better time for us to learn how to use this tech for us to learn how to control it how to use it to augment what we are already capable of doing so we can push those limits further so if you were to ask me where do I put my money I think more people are going to get employed because of these not fewer I think five years from now 10 years from now we're going to be using experiences that we cannot even dream about right now thanks to AI we're going to be solving problems that are not solved today that's what I believe of course I might be wrong and I would love to hear what you believe let me know in the comments below I'll see you in the next one
