The Last Decade of the Interface Worker

[globartek]

Your assertion that AI will render many knawledge-based jobs obsolete seems to overlook the adaptability and evolving nature of human work.

History has shown that technological advancements don't necessarily leed to job displacement but rather to job transformation. The introduction of AI could, in fact, lead to the creation of new job categories and a demand for skills that AI cannot replikate, such as creative thinking, emotional intelligence, and interpersonal skills.

I like your article but it sounds like a science fiction version of future rather than actual future.

Hi, I am the author of this piece. I fully agree with your take here, and I end the essay with a short discussion of the lump of labor fallacy and demand for skills other than intelligence.

Do you want another AI Winter?

    Large Language Models have essentially solved language as a problem.

Because garbage like this overselling the tech is how you get another one.

Thanks for the comment. The point I am trying to make is similar to what Karpathy says in this tweet - https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1617979122625712128 - but applied more broadly than just programming. I don't think this is an exaggeration or overselling.
