First post here, and I'm not a tech bro, just a normal human with a job in the U.S. I am more likely than most in my field to be an early adopter of tech, and I'm having a lot of fun thinking of ways to use AI to do my job better. Right now, some of it feels like magic tricks because the new hasn't worn off, and people who don't use AI at all wonder how you could do something so fast, etc.
But, I have to work for at the very least 10 more years. I don't think AI will replace humans, but I also see SO many jobs can be so largely automated. My question to the group is how to we plan our "careers" if we see the potential for AI to upend the known world? How can we position ourselves? By learning as much as we can and being end users? By going back to school to become AI engineers or whatnot? By bugging out to the country and learning to garden? Forgive me if this has been asked, but I'm really trying for a career pivot, and I honestly am interested in your ideas about what work looks like in 5 years, 10 years, and how I can work and continue to eat and pay my mortgage.
