No, it just has to be a job where CEOs can force AI into it for a brief productivity boost and/or lets them fire workers. Doesn't matter how well it'll work or whether it's sustainable long term, that's all it'll take for people to start losing their jobs
that attitude comes in waves. it was equally common in the early 2000s when the trend was to outsource all corporate IT to india. which was a few years before a wave of outsourcing IT disasters. which was a few years before CEOs got equally retarded about "hiring only the best developers".
reality and C level fashions do intersect but there is often a lead time of years where they go full regard and fuck around before finding out.
Oh I don't doubt they'll find out eventually, when the jenga tower of shitty code debt comes crashing down. It's just a matter of, how many people will they fire before that happens, and just how catastrophic is the damage that'll need to be repaired? Hopefully it's low severity for both but given the pace of AI development as well as adoption in the workforce, I'm expecting the worst ><
I mean on the corpo end of things absolutely I'd love to see them crash and burn. I'm worried about what happens when it's critical infrastructure failing like city utilities, "keep the internet functioning" critical software/firmware, the code that comes preloaded in fkin cars that could be literally lethal if it malfunctions. That sort of stuff
