AI already running through the market

[tatscfilho]

Things that used to take full teams, long meetings, and hours of manual work can now be done much faster with artificial intelligence, and yes, a lot cheaper too. That is why so many industries are shifting at the same time, marketing, design, customer support, programming, finance, education, even parts of healthcare.

And let us be honest, this is not only about innovation, it is also about replacement.

A lot of companies are not moving into artificial intelligence because it sounds futuristic, they are doing it because it saves money, speeds things up, and lets them do more with fewer people. That is the part people try to avoid saying out loud, but it is obvious, artificial intelligence is already taking over tasks, cutting roles, and reshaping jobs that used to feel safe.

That is what makes this hit different. It is not some far away future people can talk about for the next ten years, it is already happening right now. You can see it in the way businesses hire, the way freelancers compete, and even in the way entry level jobs are slowly starting to disappear.

And honestly, that is the real pressure point, not just that artificial intelligence is getting smarter, but are people actually keeping up?

Because the people who learn how to work with artificial intelligence will probably stay in the game, even get ahead. The people who ignore it might wake up one day and realise they are not competing with artificial intelligence, they are competing with people who know how to use it better.

That is the shift, and it is alredy here.

AI has both good and bad sides, just as AI is benefiting people, it is also harming them, if you catch it, AI is slowly taking a terrible form, some are using it correctly and some are using it incorrectly. Because many things are becoming easier through AI, due to which people can easily get the information they need. Again, this AI is harming each other, for example, someone is being framed using someone else's face in a nude video, and these are edited by AI. What is your argument that people are becoming lazy day by day because of AI? AI is emerging in the market, this is a good side, but you also need to know that it has a bad side.

For example, let's talk about the OP, as he said, the work of the company is becoming easier, is it logical that some people are losing their jobs because of this. AI is playing a huge role in the network world. But it is reducing the cognitive power of people. In my personal opinion, AI is making people lazy and weak. Which is creating this mess with the courage of one man.

AI replacement is real, but it's not pay once solve it all. My advice is if your work heavily dependant on AI, you want to make sure you have backups as well. We've got no shortage of people complaining about AI company suddenly revoking access to their AI and they could increase the price whenever they want.

We are still at the early stage of adoption and company actually subsidizing people. Once we've passed this phase, the price will be 2x or 3x of current price and since you are heavily integrated AI into your work, you have no choice but to pay.

From the trend that I can see, from Google to Anthropic. They keep raising the usage limit over the course of the months.

[Fortify]

Be careful believing all the hype. AI is decent and has found many proven uses but it's not infallible, there are plenty of companies out there pushing on it hard because it is the buzzword of the moment. Executives and boards are trained to try to integrate it everywhere, even if it is not mature enough in certain forms. This can actually lead to a poorer experience for the customer or internal teams when it is rolled out improperly. Chat bots can be an example, they can lead the user into endless loops and actually frustrated because they are unable to handle edge case scenarios, or sometimes people just want to chat with a person. It has many good uses and will displace companies that don't adopt it at all, but it is often being rushed out without proper testing.

The addition of artificial intelligence to our lives has, of course, changed the world a lot, because everyone uses artificial intelligence services in everyday life for self-development, so as not to search for and process information, and at the same time, big business also uses artificial intelligence on a large scale, because we all know how low-ranking IT specialists disappeared due to The fact that artificial intelligence can absolutely easily replace them all, and I want to say that this is not a bad thing, because the market has always been changing. And some professions disappear because of progress, and some appear, and all this is just a large-scale round of progress.

Local LLM’s are quite capable lately. If you are worried about openai dependency for your work, you can always buy a mac mini/studio or a gpu pc setup and run your own ai locally. Of course it won’t be as capable as chatgpt/codex but it will definitely deliver a lot. And mind that, local models are also getting better and they provide a serious alternative to the cloud models.

There is a downside to this AI revolution. Job cuts = reduced effective demand. Let's see what the success of a business without customers will be. Moreover, AI is primarily being implemented in industries that, in general, are not necessary at all for survival. Now the world is entering an era of continuous wars, and survival is becoming the most important thing. It's just that most people don't understand it yet. As a result, the world's population as a whole will decrease and the overall level of intelligence will decrease. People will become more or less dependent on AI.

[EarnOnVictor]

Can people even keep up? I guess not!

People may try but they can't, at least, beat the speed and accuracy of AI that has been well-perfected. Imagine seeing an AI that would cost less than the labour you employed doing what people could do for days for minutes? It is that crazy! If it's you, what would you do? The answer is simple because it favours you in all fronts.

However, it's not the end for humans since, as AI takes some jobs, it creates many others. So, people should start looking for a longer lasting field/area that AI can't take their roles.

[aoluain]

At this stage I think most people already realize that AI is here and is developing very fast.
I know people who have been put on alert that their jobs are at risk. Trying to invent a way
to work with AI or to make it enhance your job is probably the best approach.

It has become very clear that anyone sitting at a computer telling it what to do has their job
at risk because the computers dont need to be told anymore, they can do the tasks themselves.

IMO, 70% of the employees in a company don't do much to bring positive results they just do what they are supposed to and then leave the office which is the right thing from the employee's perspective but from the other side they want more results for the same pay and now there is an option to pay even less and keep the efficiency at the same or even higher than actual human, then why not take that step?

[SPIDERMAN008]

You may be able to do repeatable work by AI. Or a person can do a work in a very short time. Work efficiency will increase. It has not yet reached the stage where people will lose their jobs. Rather, new jobs or innovative activities will increase. Many people do not have to hire a camera or photographer to take professional-level pictures of their products for marketing. In that case, it is possible to set up an online business as a startup without any hassle. Now many may say that the work of photographers is decreasing.  Big companies continue to create media content and advertise through photographers and cinematographers for their marketing. The point here is that you now have to be expert enough so that you can beat AI.

[Mahiyammahi]

Let's say you replaced 20 people  and give access to AI to those 20 peoples rules. Still you need to instruct each agent separately what to do. For my concern it's pain in the ass. In my opinion those who is in base level/ Bottom level on thier field they will be replaced by AI.
If I remember correctly there was a time when a people can get hired for just removing the background of a images. Bu those job quoata has been replaced by advanced tools.

For AI it will also like this. Not upgrading yourself with the flow of time is the biggest obstacle for you.

[knowngunman]

There are several threads about AI this and that on the forum already. This particular one is very similar with yours. The world is evolving, technology is advancing and of course, we have to play along and adapt to the new system.

AI is to make things work easier. It comes with advantages and some disadvantages. The advantages are immense, but disadvantages, people will lose their job. But the reality is that AI rob Peter to pay Paul. People lose their job while new job is being created. People build these machinery known as robot, they employ workers and pay them. Robots work with softwares and also need maintenance regularly. In one or the other, people get involved and get paid. So literally, it's addition of labour and not replacement as mostly assumed.

[BlackHatCoiner]

AI is going to completely change the way humans work. Anything that can be reduced to code, can and will be produced by AI. I believe that most of the current white collar jobs will cease to exist, sooner or later.

The best way to have leverage today is to get advantage of the lack of AI awareness. All people know that AI is the future, but very few understand how to make it make them money.

Every generation has its wealth creation methods. This generation has AI automations that can save time, money and reputation from nearly every business.

[Marvelockg]

And honestly, that is the real pressure point, not just that artificial intelligence is getting smarter, but are people actually keeping up?

Even with the basic technology that's taking place, there's still no big deal about this whole AI stuff for someone that's really ready to utilise it to his advantage. The market is still open to different set of people both those that are currently technically inclined and those that are still coming up.

The Tech market is still open to all and with or without AI, there are people that will always remain relevant. If you become irrelevant just because of AI, it only means that you weren't following up real treed and certainly, you were not positioning yourself for the present as well as the future.

I heard a lot of people trying out local LLM these days like you mentioned, heard some good thing about it like privacy as well. I actually have spend some time looking for a mini PC to run my own AI then it dawned on me that the price for one that can run quite good enough AI is actually pretty high.

Watched some videos about running local LLM and from reddit sub, yeah I'm definitely interested but I'll hold off until companies aren't subsidizing us anymore and the price of RAM is actually decreasing.

That's right—personally, I use it for things that I would have had to find an expert and pay them to advise me on in the past. With such easy access, I’ve expanded my knowledge and been able to do things I wouldn’t have done before. This is even more true for companies, since they have to constantly strive to increase productivity to keep pace with inflation and stay ahead of the competition (which is also using AI).

AI won’t be replacing humans in trading anytime soon. I’ve been following the development of AI-driven platforms since they first emerged in the late 90s, and for 30 years now, their performance has consistently lagged behind that of manual and traditional algorithmic traders.

Lately, I’ve heard countless complaints about "AI agents" wiping out the accounts of gullible retail traders who use them as plug-and-play bots. That said, AI is indispensable in niche areas like arbitrage and options—and from what I hear, it’s becoming the gold standard for bonds as well

Yes, but it will make life easier for traders, as AI can easily be used by humans and no emotions are involved, just parameters that we need to set up and then there it is. It can trade 24x7.

So it's not like it's going to be a full replacement.  But AI will be integral part of every trader in the next couple of years as it is quick and fast and even if you are sleeping, if can make money out of you.

[yhiaali3]

Yes, it is true that AI has become a reality that cannot be ignored. We are now in the age of AI and whoever tries to ignore it simply as if it does not exist will find himself outside the race of development and will miss the train.

Instead, we should learn to use AI to become part of the system. For example, I sometimes work in programming, and instead of spending long hours, sometimes days and months, writing code for a simple App, you can now use AI to improve your work productivity and produce the same code in much less time and correct errors with less effort.
