It's Starting 

Yup, that's me. The guy who's now viral for being replaced by a robot. This is my life for the next few weeks 🤣 thanks for the reaction content hahah!

as a graphic design major i decided the only way i could get an actual job is to just do youtube 💀

Just imagine being a graphic designer and having your boss use YOUR WORK to train an AI to replace you, and you get no financial compensation whatsoever

My mom works at a non profit food bank and their receptionist just quit. She is getting replaced with an AI assistant and my mom is pretty upset. Ive been trying to prepare my parents for what is coming for years now but i think this is the first time my mom realized just how REAL this all is.

I'm in the agricultural sector. Tractors now can drive and harvest crops themselves. Experimental drones harvesting drones are in development. AI imaging with satellite can detect problems that previously only on site humans could do as well. Lots of farmers don't own their land but rent space from large agricultural corporations taking on massive life long debt in the proces These corporations are already starting to silently replace these farmers as this technology improves and farmers contracts expire. In year 1900 farmers made up 40% of the population, down from 90% the century before. Now it's 2%. I shutter to think of the future for humans in agriculture. I don't do monocultures or tilling to preserve soil health, avoid soil compaction/loss and biodiversity so it won't really affect me personally much as my tractor use will be minimal compared to others. My work is of hands on low input requirements crops like nut trees but besides it's genuinely horrifying seeing this happen around me. I'm only just getting into this industry and can go on and on about everything horrifying about modern agriculture but this is just another problem for the pile.

Also it sucks that a lot of jobs needs 4 years of education in University and Collage. Just got my undergrad in the AI age, and it sucks that if I want to change job I need 4 more years of school plus tuition

AI was thought to allow humans to grow old and lose the boring factory jobs, allowing humanity to flourish with more art and music. Instead, art and music is being dominated by AI and high-level artists are subjected to job loss and unstable futures.

I'm a freelance graphic designer that's currently in school learning motion design for 2D & 3D animation. I've also trained for many years in video editing prior. I'm already sweating to see how things go with AI and pushing to get my foot in the door in a design studio as soon as possible. But push comes to shove I'm becoming as much as a generalist as possible to hopefully land on my feet somewhere either in industry or on my own through youtube as a personality (on another channel) or as an editor for someone else. It is a scary world out there, but we gotta adapt one way or the other. The world doesn't stop for anyone :/

ai could never make tiktok rizz party

As a software developer with just 3 years of experience and a 4 year degree, the ladder is in the process of falling over when it comes to AI's role.

watched the original video before this one went live and it made me sad, this has made me even more sad lol

My only take away from the whole AI movement and rise is that we need to find a way to make it impossible to copyright AI generated work. Even if it’s completely based off of one person‘s work who agreed to their work being used to train the AI, as AI becomes better and more efficient big companies would be willing to throw money at a few creatives who need money. I don’t know if that would even be possible but it’s the only solution that I think could actually work

In 2-3 years, you're going to see a lot of companies pop up that are using the "Made By Humans" type mentality, cause I'm sure a lot of companies and people will still want to go into business with those people. Happens with a lot of things. There's a reason grocery stores still aren't fully self checkout, and get major pushback whenever it happens. And it's not just old people, it'll be younger millennials asking for human touch too.

Most ai tools, especially the ones that are actually popular are not being created to be used along side a human to speed up things. They are being desgined to work completly alone from start to finish. Designed to be able to be operated by clients. Prompting and chosing what you like and dont like is what clients do. Also I hate the argument that losing jobs doesnt matter since new ones will be created. That argument is so invalid because when a lot of jobs where replaced by industrialization, a lot of entertainment jobs were created. But there isnt anything after entertainment.

It’s crazy that I saw that “lost my job to AI” video before Atrioc did for once. I can’t believe I once dreamed of being a graphic designer. It seems like such a rough time as of late

Certified banger watched on 10x speed easy

With the way ai is going, the next president will have the highest unemployment rates of all time

Visual Studio’s Intellisense AI is terrifyingly good sometimes it writes entire lines for me like it’s reading my mind

Having followed gpt for many years now, starting from gpt-1 in 2018, all the gpt stuff is impressive, but not really as crazy as it might look. It's techniques that have been developed for 10+ years (way before gpt-1) that has suddenly been dumped onto the public. The innovation since chatgpt came out has been very incremental, not exponential, on the AI side. We are just still learning how to use this tool in new ways. Gpt 4o is just a slightly smarter version of gpt 3.5, where they managed to combine sound and video into this already existing model and gave it an AI voice. LLMs in their current state are like powerpoint. It's incredibly powerful and can do a lot of things. On surface level it looks like you can do a bunch of stuf, but after years you figure out all the insane features it has. But the software itself is not getting much better. However image/video ai's like dalle and sora ARE improving in an insane rate. We have yet to see a ceiling of what it is going to be capable of. In my opinion it is not the future of LLM's we need to be worried about, it's all the art/creative ais that are going to exceed humans soon.

Hey Big A, I recently discovered your channel and just wanted to say that I really like all the talks you do with your chat. Super interesting and chill to listen to!

I feel like a lot of company's and people don't realize. Nothing made by AI can be copyrighted, make a game with AI? Guess who's stealing the game and uploading it with a different title. Make a book with AI? Guess who's gonna be copying that book and reselling it for cheaper under a different name. Make a song with AI? Welp everyone can use it for whatever they want with you having a single say in it. You literally have no control over anything you make with AI so why are these companies so eager to use it?

The majority of the world's money is sitting and further accumulating in a small number of bank accounts and advancing technology has put a major squeeze on the labor market... I'm not saying it'll happen, but I will imply that there's a certain eco-political system that has gained traction under these types of circumstances in the past.

Had chatgpt watch this video for me, ai is really revolutionizing everyday life

I recently integrated a CRM for my companies Social media, I set up another A.I chat bot for my companies website and Set up another Microsoft CRM for their sales. All of course after setting up their Microsoft office for the whole business. Recently I had to pick up two other jobs because I worked next CA minimum wage bc I started as an intern. I also worked little because of school. They just let me go two weeks ago in favor of someone who is just going to use Chat gpt and A.I for future projects. I worked in Markering & IT

Just came home from work, and a LUNA MOTH WAS ON MY FRONT DOOR!!! HELL YEAH!

we have way too many people for the number of jobs could be replaced by AI. We HAVE to have some sort of UBI implemented or we're going to hit a depression. It might not hit EVERYONE but it's going to hit SO many people. I'm job hunting now in an industry being squeezed by AI, and if you're job hunting you absolutely are starting to feel it.

i mean blue collar work isn't safe either. the millions of ppl that could be replaced by ai will look for jobs and they will do it for cheaper cause they need money.

AI and UBI are inextricably linked

If the government "can't" regulate A.I., then they need to look into forcing all major companies to pay into Universal Basic Income. If a company that makes billions globally, doesn't want to pay into the system, they shouldn't be allowed to operate in America, Period.

Soon, AI will be watching Big A vids while I work the fields

crazy we got ai doin music and art and humans doing stuck doing manual labor cuz its cheaper seems kinda messed up

Entry level engineerimg jobs are in a bad place rn. Only 11 percent of my batch(1st year)(i got a good one) actually got an internship in our co-op/work term. For context, my university is known for its co-op(Waterloo) and we are struggling. Now just image what other University students are going through.

I’ve been working as a Graphic Designer for over a decade. In my honest opinion, it is currently really difficult to fit AI into the workflow of current teams. Sales doesn’t have the visual acuity to prompt an AI properly for their exact needs. Unless we give AI a designer’s intuition, which I imagine is pretty hard to write let alone define, the translation between the completely incoherent words of a sales is near impossible. So you’d need to hire a prompt writer anyways. A good representation of the intuition needed is the “7 Red Lines” video. It hates on designers a bit but we also experience the same problem from clients. lol

Truck driving never felt so good

I just graduated high school with a passion of graphic design and wanting to study it in college. After watching this video, it seems really scary to go and do that... the future of digital jobs in general looks to be more ai, which just really sucks for people like me who actually like doing that stuff and want to have a career in it.

So many product images online are poorly ai generated

I JUST graduated with a degree for programming. I feel so fucking hopeless.

When someone loses their job like this, it really feels like they get caught between more school or try and climb through "unskilled" labor to a better position. I've been my factory job for 3 years with great prospects to move up until 1.5 years ago. We've been on a hiring freeze and only been laying people off. This will be the 3rd time I have to start over trying to get promoted. It's so demoralizing and more school is just not viable when I have to wait and see if I'll lose my job.

I think the main difference is because before, it was advancement that just got faster but this is replacement

already seen real world stuff, on the malls i go to, ive been seeing large advertisements where its clearly AI generated just with additional touches like the actual product logos and wording but the main body definitely has the AI style

I loved watching this video in full then commenting

Maybe this'll lead to graphic designers becoming primarily contractors and also include the use of their work in their contracts.

Bruh i literally chose graphic design as my study in high school and decided to take a gap year to take some time to plan things out and figure out my long time goal. Might be the best decision I’ve ever done. Sad, I really enjoyed this the most. Tbf my adhd zoomer brain gets annoyed after drawing for more than 10 minutes anyways lmao

The issue is that as time goes on, labor gets more skilled and specialized. So whereas back in the day, someone working as a trebuchet loader can transition into a cannoneer relatively easily, and a few decades ago, “scientist” used to be a job title on its own, didn’t have to have a specification thrown on top like “environmental scientists” or something like that. How that jobs are so personalized, technology replacing an individuals job has a lot more of a detrimental effect on that individual. If car makers get replaced by automated factories, they can go into another type of handy work with the experience they have. Someone who writes code tho can’t really do much else with the experience they have because it doesn’t translate as smoothly into something like computer engineering or electrical engineering

It wasn't "people with knowledge jobs" looking down on blue collar workers from their ivory towers. It was bottom-of-the-barrel journalists, mainly editorialists. I will never forget the wave of journalists telling coal miners and similar blue collar workers to "learn to code" after losing their jobs, and then when the same outlets who made those articles had mass layoffs they cried out "harassment" on twitter when people would tweet "learn to code" at them. Hard-hitting journalism, or well-informed reporting still has a strong role, and so will most professions that are being replaced with AI. At least for now, though, there's going to be a lot of disruption as companies are haphazardly pushing the limit on who they can replace in an attempt to save money.

It will be different and it will be fine and everything will suck

"12 fingers" rofl

The whole point of AI is to replace the human in any loop. At some point we'll just have them be doing everything better.

I think you could draw parallels to manufacturing in the US in the 80s when it all moved overseas. There was huge job loss for a while, but I guess it all worked out.

Honestly, I think the pivot smaller artists/graphic designers might have to make is instead of doing commissions, they can train their own ai off their art style and sell some sort of license to be able to use it. The technology is already out and we can see how it's leading to people losing their jobs, so I think the way to keep the little guy around is really selling that personal touch that they as an individual can provide, rather than something just as general as "I can make art for you". There will always be jobs that can have respect for actually taking the hard work a human can provide, but for the most part I think the cost-effectiveness of AI is just going to take over, so being adaptive to the technology in order to meet the price/time demands might be the only way to keep the niche around

Finally: Big B

About to go to college for compsci in a couple months feeling like I’m staring down the brick pathway to Scary Castle

1:12 is this something people actually think? I can't imagine starting a new job and feeling like I should instantly know everything, that's insane.

I just wish that AI had special rules around like IP. Like if everything used in it always has royalties irregardless of anything. But it probs won't happen, and we'll really see if it's needed. But ai feels like the most disruptive thing since the industrial revolution

waiting for another stream c:

I’m somewhat optimistic about my position, and the general future. I like to think that once we need far less people for social programs, we’ll just expand human rights to what they actually need to be. I’m fine, design as a field is only suffering at the lower level because AI still cannot do creative work. You worked with design teams at Nvidia, think about what it would take to replace you, or them.

i just hope as AI becomes more prevalent and starts to replace humans, there will be a sort of novelty for traditional, organic made art. as a graphic designer id like to think of my work as a form of art and hopefully other humans will support humans in the future.

1:37 wow hold up big a, not 100% true. Quite a broad statement. Software engineer yes, mechanical engineer no way

Im a 911 dispatcher, and Ive never really been stressed about AI taking over my job before this week. But with that new GPT thing... With the rate AI technology has been increasing, its hard to imagine it wont be fully capable of replacing me within the next 5-10 years. At that point what the fuck am i supposed to do. Ill be in my 40s and all my professional skills will no longer be relevant. The only hope i have is that everyone else is gonna be just as fucked, so maybe theres a chance something might be done about it.

Hey big A, You mentioned at the end you think it's the 'dead internet' with AI generated content and bot posts commenting on everything... do you find lots of bot comments on your youtube videos? I've seen others post about this issue and I'm keen to learn more about it (cause I think i can help).

The software companies laying off thousands and expecting them not to become their future competition is very short sighted. In the pandemic the same compainies sucked up anything that walked to keep talent away from competition. We will se massive innovation in new companies going after the big ones. And the big ones are in the sights of antitrust efforts. AI is centralizing profits and growth right now, but in a few years a lot will happen. All devs won’t just become blue collar people. Life finds a way.

I still havnt seen ai do anything I would consider creative. They train the ai based on past work, drop their human workers, then what? The ai keeps making the same stuff it always does. Never changing the game. I think in the long term the places that keep people around to innovate and do new thing with the assistance of ai are going to walk all over the places who are trying to replace manpower with ai.

I feel for graphic designers it May correct a little bit. I think having zero designers will be bad decision long term for companies may end up keeping 1 or 2 on staff. Thats my prediction for in acouple of years

“We can’t not invent cars because people who ride horses are great” I know this was a hastily thought up analogy and The Glarketer probably has a more nuanced take on this, but replacing human artistic expression with machines is not just technological advancement.

Speaking for the accountants. How the hell are AI accountants going to answer auditor questions lol

You should research what happened to the people that used to make photographs that where made redundant by digitisation.

We have a few graphic designers on my marketing team. They couldn't be replaced by AI. We need very specific stuff.

good one atrioc. or should i say aitrioc. i wont get fooled again after the debacle with the seashell darth vaider.

I’m a photographer and with the new photoshop AI I don’t even need to see something special to create an image of something special. There’s a meme on the Sony photographer Reddit of putting seagulls into photos of random places because a guy used a horrible AI seagull for a perfect timed photo.

I don't have anything to say other than this all feels very existentially bad 😢

yuh

Haven’t watched the video yet, but sure it will be great! :)

UBI is feasible, implement a LVT and we're golden

Its saddening seeing people lose their jobs But as a blue collar whos been looked down by those same people: gg ez

im a system engineer, I dont know if I should be worried..

Man, Atrioc really has fallen off since the trebuchet days

Ok but ... what's the update on that guy's dad?

3:06 I do think AI is a major piece of the puzzle towards achieveing UBI(Universal Basic Income), which I am a big supporter of. Eventually, the ideal would be that AI has replaced enough jobs that economies can be sustained with few enough workers that UBI can be sustainable. But it also seems abundantly clear that moving towards UBI would be extremely painful in the near future. When AI has only replaced some but not most jobs, the economy is in a weird state where it still needs workers but there are also not enough jobs to go around. Personally I'm graduating as an engineer in the next 2 years so I'm very invested about the topic. I've been worried about AI since early last year and since then I've been seeing my worries slowly come true one by one. I've been trying to pivot into systems design as a way to stay ahead of AI but I feel like I'm in an arms race against AI, and that's not a battle I'm confident in winning long-term. It's genuinely a scary time to enter the workforce, and I hope we figure something out with the implementation of AI into the workforce.

Not choosing graphic design as my major probably the biggest bullet I dodge.

I fucking hate the way AI is being used

if people are able to adapt and this just leads to menial jobs being taken by robots, i think it could lead to a more productive and creative society long-term

As an auditor I’m not worried, the government has regulated my industry so much that AI can’t legally do my job.

i was not expecting this video to take a revolutionary communism turn

Based Halo gameplay

It's different because of SEX ROBOTS...

AI is different than other technology because AI can theoretically do anything humans can do, because it's developing *intelligence*, which all other advances haven't done

I need to know what happened with that guys dad 😢

I disagree that SWE is hardest for an ai to learn, other engineering seems more difficult for it, make chat -gpt write code it will do it perfectly most of the time, ask it about even basic ciruits and it'll fuck it up regularly

In what I am experiencing at the job, right now AI is only replacing unexperienced software developers and making experienced ones way faster. This is, because complex tasks can not be done by AI jet. But AI has developed _so_ incredibly fast, that, in my experience, even people with ~2 years on the job can be replaced now - and AI is only getting better.

One thing I still can't comprehend is how people still want to become train/bus drivers. Maybe it will take around 5 years for busses but I'm sure we have around 95% of the technology to replace all the train drivers already. Why would you want to work there, you are gonna get replaced in an instant.

Copyright law desperately needs to catch up to AI. How is it fair that a graphic designer does one set of designs, and then the company can take those designs and create new ones while not paying the original designer anything? This is the same kind of behavior the actors guild struck against: Using actor's historical performances in AI or using AI to write scripts feels like it should infringe on the rights of people who have spent time writing scripts or performing. Allowing for AI to use everything available for free, if AI truly does a good enough job to replace people, creates a disincentive that society will not stand the test of time against. What incentive is there to make educational resources available when AI can yoink it and use it for their profits? What incentive is there to create art when AI can yoink it and use it for their profits? What incentive is there for actors, writers, coders? I don't know where the line is on what should and shouldn't be allowed to be used in the process of AI output, but it's very clear that there need to be further protections put into place. If you commission a piece of art, you can't just create a replica of it with a small piece changed and then turn around and sell that for money or use that outside of the scope of what the original piece of art was intended for.

Guess whose dream job is graphic design?

As a Dane, I am concerned about the well-being of those reliant on residual welfare states. I believe that as artificial intelligence advances, many European nations may adopt universal welfare models. Meanwhile, the situation in the U.S., a prominent example of a residual welfare state, warrants separate consideration.

is this a reupload?

I am a graphic designer

Ai just fucking sucks, it needs to be entirely regulated or just outright banned

Not going to watch the video but im sure it was very good!! 👍

unfortunately jobs have in the past and will continue to in the future become redundant, think whaling and prospecting, and now finally graphic designers

Tragic that Atriocs expertise in siege warfare is now irrelevant 😔

Just learn to drive a semi🤣
