Workers aren't scared of AI doing their jobs, their the ones that know how useless AI is...
They're scared of the CEO laying off more workers to keep stockholders happy.
The CEO isn't scared AI will destroy the company, he's scared that investors insisting on layoffs and utilizing AI will kill the company.
But a CEO gets fired if they tell stockholder they're idiots who don't know how any of this works.
But regardless of what happens, the CEO gets a K code in box 12 of their W2, and the workers get fucked.
CEO just wants out before it hurts his future job prospects, but this issue is happening all over.
I'm not scared of AI doing my job because I've been doing it for 20 years. I'm scared of AI doing my junior colleagues' jobs because I use AI to do things between 100-1000x faster than my junior devs can - I get code back in minutes instead of days or weeks, and honestly it's right more often. I don't know what the fuck we're gonna do in 5-10 years when we need more people at my level and haven't been training them.
Anyone who believes AI isn't the future of programming is either deluding themselves or hasn't spent enough time playing with or setting up their tools - probably both.
