For Context: I work in a semiconductor manufacturing company as a modelling engineer, I use some modelling softwares etc but none of them use AI.
I wanted to understand the whole AI craze nowadays, people say that AI will replace jobs/Increase productivity and I don't get it at all.
All I see is a simple chatbot (ChatGPT) which is a super impressive version of google and can solve some basic math/science questions and Co-Pilot in my workplace which I found to be useless, for example the facilitator thing which is supposed to make meeting notes is so bad at summaring meeting minutes etc. I don't think AI is there yet to do very basic things.
So yes in theory if AI gets better in few years/decades sure it take the non-technical part of my job like making meeting minutes/making ppt's etc but I think its still not there yet. For AI to take over my job it needs to get the basic shit correct first and then maybe it can do the technical stuff.
One really good use-case of AI that i can see is to generate Code based on the project requirement, So I can see how entry level coder's jobs might be affected sure, but that's a very small portion of the economy, right?
