The only prediction that I think is robust is: Those who use AI as tool today will replace those that aren't tomorrow. Same situation with internet, we saw a bubble but ultimately those that changed their business around it monopolized various industries where they were slow to react. Some jobs will be replaced outright but most will use AI tools and we might see reduced wages/positions available for a very long time…

AI tools will get easier and easier to use. There will be no skill level required to use them effectively.

Has this been true for any technology, ever? In that the curve of skill to output quality will be completely flat?

I would be suspicious of this claim.

Using AI as a tool is similar to using a search engine and specific sites in the past. People are using it naturally (for what it works)

> On the weekend, I hack around with ML & AI to build cool stuff.

Stopped reading this rage-bait when I saw this. The company he works at is starting to go all in on AI and prediction content themselves the very same thing that he is opposing. [0]

> But even myself, as an AI engineer, I am just soooo sick of that type of content. It’s the same generic stuff. It appears we have become the LLMs, regurgitating what’s already out there as if it was new ideas.

The author is not an AI engineer™ (whatever that means these days). Just yet another "dev".

Have you considered the inverse?

Those who use AI as tool today will be replaced by those that aren't tomorrow.

The internet was the same. Didnt stop legacy businesses from getting their lunch eaten by internet native companies.

This is what I'm seeing currently at work. YMMV.

This stuff is like the monster in The Blob. The more energy you direct at it, the bigger it gets. So your post, and my comment are just feeding it.

Yeah we need comment-level exclusions;

User-Agent: AI-Bot

Disallow: /ai-bot/

Does everything always need precedence?

That's not a robust prediction. Many people who don't use AI today simply don't do so because they've tried it, and found it subtracts value. Those people will not be replaced tomorrow, they will merely reevaluate the tool and start using it if it has started to add value.
