When they kill everybody my plan is to be dead.
On a more serious note, I would point out that, for instance, 99% of accounting is already done automatically by computers. How many accountants are there now? 95% of engineering work is done by computers and engineering costs more and takes longer THAN EVER. Some professions are evidently safe as it becomes less and less efficient the more computers do the work. Many people have said AI will be able to "make scientific discovery" and I always retort that people saying this have evidently never had to make a scientific discovery.
On the other hand, I do think that there are jobs that AI can do that humans really can't. Humans really can't practice medicine. There's just too much to know for anyone to really apprehend it in real time effectively. Law is another one for totally different reasons. I think AI could practice law better than a human being could, once it becomes better than it is now.
The definition of AI was always that you could talk to it and not know it wasn't human. A big barrier to this definition has become obvious in its recent availability: When you talk to a person you know, you take into account everything you've ever said to that person and what you know about them, and AI can never duplicate that. FWIW. that is a separate problem from the fact that Chat GPT seems to be crazy wrong about every simple question. That problem has to be fixable, but the former one is not.
Side topic - I have observed a tidal wave of idioitic drivel hitting Facebook. Facebook is showing this drivel to basically everybody and anybody (I didn't ask to see it). There doesn't seem to be much benefit to the content creators doing it, but I think the drivel tsunami is a threat to Facebook's very existence it's so lame. You can block any content creator, and so I started blocking them last summer. I guess that says I do have a plan to deal with the inevitable AI takeover on facebook at least. I guess I have blocked 500 of them. Again, none of these are things I asked to see and none of them are advertisement. They're just miscellaneous content creators.
