AI can never replace my job. Cuz i have no job.

Tina Huang: Will AI replace all jobs? Any CEO: Yes. I plan on it.

A more thorough question/thought process might be; “How do I protect myself from the ruling elite?” AI is being used as a means to their ends, not ours.

Makes a video about how AI will replace developers ... shows an ad on how to be a software developer.

I don't think business owners are really taking the long view here, If they can replace their staff with robots or generative AI, that means their entire business is replaceable. Value is driven by scarcity and demand. If you don't need skilled workers then anyone with the capital can do what you do and your business value plummets. Lets also not forget the costs of running complex neural networks, as AI becomes more complex the models become larger, and the hardware required to run them becomes more and more complex. I think we need to wait a bit and see what part of the Sigmoid curve were currently on. I think the future is extremely uncertain at the moment but not without hope.

The "I have no control" portion is insane. At a certain point, no matter what you do, your fate is just not going to be in your hands. No matter how much safe guarding you do from AI. AI replacing majority of human jobs is not an individual issue, it is a societal one.

Anyone who says that more jobs will be created. How is an AI that is basically a digital person, which can also be put into a robotic artificial body not be able to do all jobs? I dont understand this concept.

My daughter is applying to universities for art and graphic design. Initially I wanted to dissuade her. Upon further consideration I decided not to when I thought it through and realised no job is safe.

I work in mining. We were just recently notified that the goal is to make the mine autonomous in the next two or three years. Some heavy equipment operators think it's bullsh*t and impossible. The reality is, even if they struggle to make the equipment autonomous, eventually the big players in AI will have AGI which will be more than powerful enough and just lease out access to corporations in pretty much the same way Amazon and Google lease servers. Or they can literally replace us with actual android operators. No jobs are safe. Thats just it. Anything a human can do for money, a robot can do 24 hours a day 7 days a week without rest and without pay. Let's consider the role of horses in our history. Before the invention of cars, trucks, tractors and trains, we used horses for pretty much everything. After the industrial revolution, we really only used them for sports and entertainment and very specific niche jobs like riot control and cattle ranching. So, I don't know, maybe we will have some need for paying humans for entertainment and sports? What is scary about this is the speed of the transition. People are going to be left with no income and huge debt to pay. Starting businesses will be pointless because you can't compete with AI. I think this will lead to Universal Basic Income and debt forgiveness/relief and in exchange we will literally give our central banks everything we own. Of course the UBI will be tied to a Central Bank Digital Currency. So our means of survival in society will be controlled by government/banks (same thing really) and this is how we end up with "you will own nothing and you will eat zeee bugs" or whatever the World Economic Forum said, lol. To go Darker. Are the 99% of us going to end up like our horses did? It's interesting to consider the state of the world right now... nearly on the brink of WW3... when the 1% are on the brink of no longer needing so many people around to work for them. Hmm. Fingers crossed that Im just an internet nut job. Really though, without people, there is nothing for the system to sell its wares to. SO I guess we will just get to live in pods and spend our free money on "subscription service everything" and hope to get a little more UBI cheese for being good little rodents.

I come from an IT/AI background and created a trade school for yoga teachers, Ayurveda practitioners and other jobs that are growing in demand as people seek to get away from technology and have a space that is not being taken over by electronic devices. There are jobs and always will be jobs which whole point is to be non-robotic or AI infused. Our teachers can even use AI to augment text etc. No problem at all. But when we meet on the mat, the phones are off and the robots will wait outside on their charging stations.

The better question is "should I do anything?" Governments are going to need to adapt social and economic policies as an ever increasing size of human labor is displaced or rendered irrelevant. The expectation that we, as humans, should evolve and change vocations or skill sets at the pace of AI changes is insane. The pace of technology progressing will get faster than we as humans can change.

They took our Jerbs!

Great video. It's interesting how often CEOs will drop the line "AI won't replace people, it will instead complete the drudgery and free up humans to pursue that which they desire!" as if the result will realistically be anything other than people scrambling for new streams of income. Additionally, anyone saying "lol, get a blue collar job!" has probably never worked one themselves. The glass ceiling is very low in that line of work unless you own the business. The owner and managers will make 100k+, and do their damnedest to ensure you only make $26 dollars an hour and work 60 hours a week. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. It isn't a sustainable lifestyle into old age.

If no one is working. No taxes or spending

I am offered jobs all the time. Employers say, "Wow. you REALLY know how to TALK to people." I am a former teacher, who does random day jobs via a Temp Agency. Many of the companies, that I have temped at, have offered me full time jobs, based on my professionalism and communication skills. So, while I think AI will dominate many industries, I think companies will have a need for employees who know how to communicate with people.

I think relying on multiple streams of income can be overly tied to the general economy being good, and lots of other people having money to spend (for instance the low hanging fruit of multiple streams are merch, courses, maybe personal services). Those streams of income could be adversely affected by a wider economic downturn, for instance if we rapidly got to 30% unemployment or something.

Flipping burgers is not a 'trade'. Trades are HVAC, Car Mechanic (extremely technical btw) Plumbers, etc. You said the word 'trades' while showing a pic of a robot flipping burgers. Why?

Robotics are cost prohibitive for many businesses, but when there are no "white collar" jobs, there will be much less demand for "blue collar" jobs. People will not be buying homes, cars, eating out, going on trips, remodeling, and purchasing non-essential products. Lower property values and less taxes spent will effect govt jobs as well. It has a cascading effect throughout society. Just because a robot can't do your specific job right now, doesn't mean you won't have a job.

These are the jobs which will be in high demand in this new age: - AI will need some kind of quality control (removing it is very dangerous, but some people may try). I do expect that there are going to be some upcoming AI jobs in the area of quality control, i.e. someone who monitors the output of AI models, agents, robots. - The AI developer jobs will be there, but they require very specific and advanced qualifications, like e.g. machine learning, deep learning, robotics and data experts who work on the datasets for training these models. - When robots start to be commercialized, there might be potential problems with mechanics, so there might be some jobs there too. Some people who fix mechanical faults. - Specialized firms who can create agents for private enterprise systems. Some data is not public and intelligent interfaces (agents) which allow different forms of interaction with this data will be in demand. This is something like an AI integrator. - AI ethics experts which will create ethical norms and oversee their implementation in AI systems. Any more ideas? PS: by the way: great video

Thanks for this fantastic video, Ms Huang. I showed it to my students today and they were completely absorbed with the information.

Absolutely love your insight. Always on the money. Thank you!

I’m curious how this will impact future Highschool kids with career planning. And, if college will still be encouraged as much as it has been

When thinking of a.i. and how it'll creep into our lives, I'm reminded of the poem "First They Came". I had Claude sonnet rewrite it for a.i. It's made some cool versions. First, they came for the data clerks, With algorithms that processed numbers swift, Automating tasks with nary a quirk, Leaving human workers in a drift. Then, they came for the customer reps, Chatbots fielding queries night and day, Handling complaints with nary any steps, Making human agents seem passé. Next, they came for the truck drivers, Self-driving vehicles, a new frontier, Replacing the long-haul survivors, Leaving them jobless, filled with fear. They came for the writers and the coders, Language models spinning prose and code, Rivaling human wordsmiths and exploders, Leaving them to seek a different road. And when they came for the analysts, With AI that crunched data like a pro, Spotting trends with nary a chance missed, Humans scrambled, their skills in limbo. Who will be next in the AI's wake? Will any job be truly secure? Or will humans have to reinvent, remake, As machines render their roles obscure? So speak up, adapt, and embrace the change, For the AI revolution's here to stay, Reshaping careers in ways still strange, Lest you too become its future prey

"AI's gonna take your job so pay for my class"

So good! I won’t lie I’ve been avoiding these videos because they have me anxiety lol but glad I watched today

We need to creat self sustainable communities for our survival. There will be many AI tools that will only be available for a few groups of people. We need to ask ourselves how to survive even without technology.

Hard to predict what is going to happen, what things will look like, and how well adapt to what’s coming. I just hope there are more good people working with AI than bad.

Your videos are so very well done!!!

Well said … thank you .., you’re the best !

AI won't replace human, but human with AI will replace human without AI.

ironic for this video to contain an ad section for career training

Your videos are made very well. Great job!

I think that no matter the job white collar or blue collar take the opportunity to learn AI and all it’s forms. Because AI is here to stay, we need to embrace it and learn it, instead of fearing it. That’s just my opinion.

@TinaHuang1 thank you for the video, quite informative. Can you please do another one explaining how to embrace these challenges? Specially, what happens when the system changes faster than you can learn?, making it really hard to get the amount of experience needed for your next tech job?

Become a kindergarten teacher as no matter how they dress up those AI robots in furry outfits, they will always scare the shit out of little kids.

Best job you could have for the future is AI creator and keeper, with the surge of robots and AI, everyone would need to use them for something and give them maintenance, so it would be similar to a beast tamer where the beast do everything for you.

hey Tina. I saw that you said that some students from course careers are getting hired without even applying for jobs. Is course careers actually gonna help that much? I'm asking because there's a lot of courses out there that claim the same.

I am scared of interest rates,inflation than AI

I do consulting on operational excellence in retail and SCM sectors: the AI impact will be massive but it will not happen all at once and it will impact different roles in different ways. Many roles will be eliminated entirely, others will see partnerships with AI and increased productivity, a handful of new roles will be created and many roles will transform in scope and focus What is very much on the cards - and having a lot of VC thrown at it now - is natural language programming, where business process owners can describe directly what they need and an AI can comprehend that, write the code, test and deploy. Keep watching developments in that area: the meaning of programming itself will change, moving from hard coding to description of the actual process and desired outcome.

I fully stan Tina’s vids! Helpful & a bit humorous 🎉😊❤

How many times are people booking flights?

I think the last things to go to AI will be anything involving physical tasks like surgeons, plumbers or electricians. It's not that robotics won't be able to do those tasks but it will be much, much longer before their competency will be accepted as sufficient to be done without human intervention or oversight.

I agree with Altman on this, AI should be used to get to a point where we need to work LESS. worktime need to go from 8hr/day to 3hr/day, this will solve a lot of issues as we’ll have same amount of people working less, not smaller amount of people working a lot

Quality content as always Tina.

The ending talking point about internal locus of control vs external locus of control is just a fight or flight response too combined with a positivity bias. No one is above automation no matter what you think of yourself and your abilities.

Bureaucratic jobs: grab a job that laws require to have a human to be performed.

I just found your channel last night. Thanks! I have found some very useful information on AI. Well thought out!

I am in my 60s, and you have provided some of the best advice anyone could have if they have a technical career.

So the sponsored post is a company selling a course to become a software developer. They may want to change that up to farming potatoes or something, i don't know. But between the teaching abilities of LLM (free) and recent developments like devin the AI software engineer, it may be wise to steer clear of that industry. but... people will still want their French Fries. just saying.

Nicely said 😊 I like you perspective. I have been working with AI for a while now.

Great video, keep up the good work

If you look at just tech jobs you are far more likely to lose it to India or the Phillipines, I am Indian, born in the US thinking about moving back for this reason alone, since our idiotic govt has never cared to stop outsourcing.

Hello mam. Mam I am not good at maths so can I learn dsa and actually become good at it

Much needed for me personally Thankyou I feel more positive

I'm honestly excited to see what the job market will be a few years from now.

That was 💯 good thinking transfered.

do u train with Renzo?

It's alredy on the local job level for artists because a film festival event in my area used AI to make the art for their poster, and it is ant the corperate level because Disney used AI to make the art in their latest marvel show. I still wanna learn web design so im going to minor in coding that way i have another job option.

Me even after having lots of skills including prompt engineering too, struggling to get a job of $200/months.

This Video is much more better than your other video about AI taking Jobs.

The real answer is that in terms of bigger corporations, there is nothing you can expect for advocating for things you'd want to see, but that's too macro level for most people. Honestly, my advice would be to hone your craft and lean in on interpersonal connections. If you dont have those connections? Make them.

I am actually doing a research report based on this very topic! I have not considered the notion that there are no "safe" jobs protected from the clutches of AI. I appreciate another perspective.

then who will buy their stuff when people are unemployed?

Hi Tina, Super glad that your journey lead you to youtube instead of wage slaving away for blackrock. Thank you for all your content and kudos to using a Phutureprimitive song!

Andrew Yang has been the only politician who has incorporated AI as part of his platform for UBI.

Having internal locus of control is possible while you can pay your mortgage. When you house and your family is at risk, it’s impossible to think clearly. you just need another job, just to survive this period. And then it gets worth and worth. It’s good to be poor and young with no family, no mortgage, no obligations. You can think clearly and adapt to the changing environment. Another good option is to have enough savings to not be stressed out about your mortgage for a while. But let’s face it, 95% has no savings that can last and support you livestile, mortgage and family for at least 6month.

Tech jobs might be in danger but people forgot how to do trade jobs, they don't risk going into medicine or dentistry, and a cannot imagine a machine replacing a pastry chefs and human accuracy catering to fussy demands. We have tons of factories around the world but there are some jobs that a machine cannot do.

You know how expensive it would be to replace every physical worker with a robot ? There needs to be someone maintaining and repairing the robot. Is another robot going to do that? and then does that robot have a robot to repair it, too ?

You've really hit the mark on so many levels. Your analysis is incisive and thought-provoking, especially for safety-focused folks. It's worth remembering you won't get much growth from a position of safety. Exploring paths with risk and innovation or building a strategy for resilience (think income diversification etc) might be more fruitful directions entering periods of knowledge disruption. 🤔... building agents who have to deal with this stuff? 😉

Me teaching myself Data Analysis these past few weeks in hopes of landing a job in a few months...☠☠☠. I think my time is better spent learning how to tie a knot.

We need to serious about UBI Universal Basic Income

I just liked and subscribed thanks for the Amazing content this really was valuable time wasted.🎉❤

I loved the "dramas effect". But I'm definitely a bit scared with the future, for sure...

Still looking for the linked video about how we can paradoxically harness AI to make ourselves stand out?

What you might call AI today, first came into being in my industry around 1932. It entered the commercial industry in 1965 and has always been very limited with the parameters/inputs it can handle safely. While I fully expect there will be a reduced need for humans in the coming decades, I don't think AI will fully replace the more art/skill jobs any time soon. Where the inputs can be well-defined and require little interpretation, that is likely where AI will excel.

Climbing through roofs and fixing wires won't be replaced easily. Nor would fixing pipes and unplugging toilets.

Time to start farming 👨‍🌾🌾🚜

I work at factory only reason why robotic have not replacement me because of their cost and cost hire somebody to fix it. it also why it said that A.I and automation take away mild paying jobs because lowing paying job do not justify the cost of automation.

As a commercial service electrician until a robot is as nimble and dexterous as a human i dont see them taking over my job. Theres also the accountability factor.

Having a decent job as a Software Developer and Engineer will occupy you so much that the topic of having side hustles is simply unpractical to impossible. Multiple streams of income is only for the rich that already have them (do they need a job?) or for the happy few out of 10,000 that land a good idea or strive maybe, and it is a BIG MAYBE, on youtube. So these are not very practial or reliable possibilities. The only way for most of us academics is what we can do best already: learn and upskill. And on that the race with AI will continue.

Some job ideas that should be the last hold outs: -Own your own small business. -Product/project management and scrum masters; ie writing requirements for a living. - councillor/psychologist (would be a hellish world if these completely got taken over by bots) - carers/teachers (the demand for this will decrees but hopefully not disappear soon)

I know that's the question but WHATS THE ANSWER????

This video deserves WAYY more views, super helpful🙏

Working on building hardware for training and running AI systems and cloud computing right now. Feels okay, might be able to do this until I retire. There seems to be a general lack of talent/resources in the industry. I can see how AI might reduce the need for lower level engineers.

The video ID on the link is interesting.

Who buy the products of company?

Why Open AI keeps hiring then?

3 things 1. Thanks for this and many of your videos. I absolutely live your content 2.the time has come to realize what it means to be human ..we all should also learn about ourselves so that we don't feel that machines are better than us because they don't have "human-ness" in them. We all need to leverage what being human is . 3. Whats your skincare? AI is anyways taking all jobs at least I want to know what you are putting on your skin what equipments are you using

I actually don't want to work at all. I suffer from severe depression.

I am not worried. I am training to be a Universal Basic Income recipient. I have jettisoned all motivation to accomplish or achieve anything. I just lay on my ass watching the ceiling. I don’t read. I don’t want to be accidentally inspired by some stupid book. I don’t complain because soon there won’t be any rich people. We will all be equal. I am totally prepared to be a human in the age of A.I.

Thanks sis

Hmm good question

4:43 That was laugable. I work as process simulation Eng in the automotive industry and omniverse is quite impressive. HOWEVER , you need alot of manual path planning and payload setup for the industrial arm to do its job. Nvidia only shows some demo that systems work but how the systemw ill work when you have more than 400 robots in the bodyshop that you need to simulate and engineer for the customer. The software we use is Process simulate , which is Semeins behind it , it is now trying to bring AI to help engineers do the job mor efficiently and handle the massive change over time.

Am I the only one that just heard of freedom units?😂 I love it!!

It really feels like we are about to enter a dystopia, its insane

Figure one there's a porch pirate approaching grab spear number four and assume position 6

Inky approves - Realise, Reinvent, Improve and take clear action into towards the future 😁

im a taxidermist, my job will be safe?

So the way I understand the current world is, we went from working together and providing for each other so that we had plenty of food and resources and by accounts of what we see in modern people who still llive like that, had happiness, to making societies where we could all become more comfortable and have more luxury in our lives but we had to give up our communities a little to concentrating all the wealth and resources in a few people so that everyone who isn't those few people has to sit around wondering how to get "multiple streams of income" and worry about how we are going to live in a solitary world where those who have managed to get themselves into positions of power are threatening every stream of income. Is that about the way it is?
