Meanwhile my (college btw) teacher suggests us to use ChatGPT if we need help. Bro wants to replace himself.

Any personals here?

Credit to the original artist.

Seems the translated variant misses a big point of the original artist too, notice how the gun slowly comes into view? It's trying to make a point that the replacement isn't quite organic, but rather forced on us. Probably would have been better to just translate the text in place and include the rightful credit.

This... Almost looks like the op of this post used AI to translate and change the art style of this comic.

[–] i_love_FFT@jlai.lu 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Replaced by AI: ~~traductor~~

Also modified the art style to make it less violent and subversive, so cross "artist" of that list as well.

With the original, we clearly understand that it should all have been filled with humans, but there was a progression in the center line where AI (killed and) replaced professions that were always thought to be irreplaceable by AI.

I still think that all jobs are, in general, safe for the foreseeable future. But we will be expected to use AI tools and just produce more and more, so that a few people will gain more and more resources and power.

E.g. as engineers we will do less and less actual planning, but we will run AIs like it were a team of engineer slaves.

And I think this will be similar for other branches. A music composer will run AIs to compose parts of a song, adjust it, readjust other parts, till the song is good. I mean, afaik this is already how much of it works.

I believe that a few jobs will be hard hit. Things like first level phone customer support or service are probably going to be decimated, keeping humans for 2nd or 3rd level.

A similar thing happened with the irruption of the PC. In a few short years, the majority of professional typist jobs disappeared.

AI has sucked for years and that didn’t stop companies from trying to replace customer service with AI.

Am I supposed to read this as simultaneous (those jobs are currently safe.... for now, the others are not) or progressive (all these jobs are human/skilled and halfway they get replaced by robots)..?

I suppose either way it's commenting that you can't take your position for granted. AI isn't coming to replace you, but it is going to evolve your field, and workers that don't adapt will be supplanted by those that do.

[–] ClamDrinker@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Probably the latter (If you see the original comic this was based on), but probably a little bit of both as you said.
