Is not bursting anytime soon...

Study courses AI can't do or replace

Civil Engineering
Surveying and Geoinformatics
Geographic Information Systems
Medicine
Etc

Just say for now.
You will be surprised what robotics is already doing in surgical theatres and on construction sites and will be doing in a few years to come.

My friend, nothing is safe out there except a nation deliberately legislates so. Then prepares to step off the development train.

Elon is already about to make the next giant leap in technology. The fusion of AI and robotics. It will be a total game changer in everything from fighting wars, mining in inhospitable environments to film making and sports coaching.

I saw a piece on workers in a factory made to wear body suits with markers to track their biometric movements and I said. By next year robots will be doing exactly those jobs.

SIRTee15:
Very soon people will start burning data centres of these AI companies.
Btw, I already suspect this AI thing is a hype and would deliver far less than promised. Most investment will go to nought because expectation on AI is too theoretical to be pragmatic.

AI doctors, AI surgeons, AI nanny, AI soldiers, AI this, AI that. U can imagine some tech companies even boasted of AI teachers that will replace real human teachers in classroom.

Ordinary AI driverless car they can't fix and it's more than 10 yrs they launched self driving car. My wife has to abandon it since it's always driving her to abandoned roads, recently a self driving tesla wanted to drive the owner into the river.

No doubt AI will perform well with tasks primarily within the digital environment, require information handling, or rely on repeatable decision-making. So long as there's no complexity and those jobs are not influenced by deep human interactions. AI will excel in these areas because computers are its native environment.

Beyond that, I don't see anything AI want to change in fields of physical labour or complex human interactions. I doubt even robotic AI can impact much.

Best comment i have read on this platform in over ten years.

I agree with everything you said.

Make my kids disturb this AI with question and reporting each other to me for one day alone...it will refuse to comment again.

I use generative AI a lot..but I see it more as a tool for effectiveness and speed, instead of it independently taking over human jobs.

I managed three teams " simulation, virtualization and test automation " doing their bit with over 30 other teams in building ADAS level 5 software.

Me I can never seat in a driverless car...ever. The complexity of the whole enterprise is guaranteed to fail.

I lost interest in the whole enterprise after 3 years and moved onto something that adds more real value.

Who get sense go and learn hand work

FSBoperator:
The problem with AI tech is how they are expending too much energy and resources.

Real Scientists and Engineers are sounding the alarm that AI is highly inefficient and all those data centres that rely on outrageous energy to run and cool the GPUs is akin to frying an egg with a blow torch.

The issue is AI is being designed not by real scientists and engineers but by tech geeks.

All that data centres can not replicate the processing powers of a housefly.

They are not understanding that there is such a thing as entropy i.e your brain sleep cycle.

Every sentient being requires a process of work-sleep.

I agree with you on the bolded, but then a tech geek is still needed to bring the endpoint to reality.

AI is not 100% efficient, because of the heat from data centres.

Besides, we are escaping from the hype era and going into the period where AI is used to solve real-world issues.

AI is getting there. Slowly but surely.

That's not fair sha because these companies have enough resources to keep the employees without affecting their financials negatively.

And some of these employees built the system(AI) that's causing their job loss.

Every organisation is out to cut cost. There's nothing like pity but value that brings profits to any organisation.

I wish you the same brother

The funny thing is, most of the workers built that AI that replaced them. It is like one working against oneself.
A time is coming when people won't have money to use the service of this tech companies because they are poor, maybe it's robot that will be using their services then. They feel, they can do without human, but when that time comes, we shall see.

Treadway:
willingly sef.

Despite all these layoffs, believe me when I tell you people are happily lining up to train AI on how to do their jobs for pocket change. Literally training the AI that will replace them in a short time.

This is only the beginning. Lexusgs430

Are we surprised...... Eat all your food today and complain that nothing to eat tomorrow.........😉😂

They simply trained their replacements....... 😍😂

Na why I I won go do master or change profession to mbbs to top up my bsc

FSBoperator:
Good.

Those grease monkey coders thought they were the shitz.

I love how the same AI they created is seeing them lose their jobs.

Now I can get AIs like Claude to write a code for basically anything without even bothering to learn geek speak.

You are a vibe coder.

No serious organization will employ you. You are just doing cut and paste of code churned out by LLM. That's a recipe for disaster.

AI is built by researchers. They are very few.

These researchers are different from individuals applying LLM to solve real life problems.

For your second paragraph, I think a time will come when govt will have to pay people for doing nothing. That's the only thing that can explain what is comingm

Gbadugbakun:
When would seun fire all his mods and replace them with Ai? 🤔

if not for the 100 year ban, i prefer mods to AI.

One mod comes to mind👀especially in that "religion-of-peace" section. Still can't fathom why someone will be given 10year ban🤦🏾‍♂️.

SmartPolician:
Dey play! Nobody actually knows this. Even research labs building AI products don't know it. Those who say that AI won't take their jobs are only deceiving themselves.

Sam Altman is already saying there will likely be a world where AI companies will be paying everyone for doing nothing. I know it's a big lie; humanity is doomed.

I really wonder how and when AI could take the job of a psychiatrist, or a therapist, surgeon, nurse and gives injections, electrician, plumber, and other ones that require critical human judgement.

mascot87:
AI will definitely make a lot of jobs useless. Even in the entertainment industry. I find it more interesting to watch all those AI generated stories on Tiktok. As the global skill set world is gradually changing. Those that remain with past knowledge of how things are done will find themselves in serious financial crisis

Me too, I enjoy those Ai stories like, I thought I enjoyed twitter but this ai stories have my heart ❤️

Wailers , come and wail

Na Tinubu cause this one??

Oga , go sit down use your head!!

If robots can be officiating funeral rites of priests in Japan, nobody's job is safe anymore

Just give AI some time and see what will happen.

SmartPolician:
People like to deceive themselves, saying that AI won't take their jobs. No jobs are safe now. The only thing that can save us in Nigeria is that the government would rather employ 10k incompetent workers than use 10 robots to effectively do their jobs.

Will AI take your job?

Has he, in his comment insinuated of looking for a coding job or trying to look for one?
The jobs my company pay coders in fiverr and upwork to do for us, are now being handled by Claude opus 4.6 at 20 usd pay month subscription or Claude sonnet 4.6 for free for those not critical, something we get upwards of 400 to 500 usd monthly in Upwork a few years ago, around 2021/2022.

AI's can try very hard but can't possibly replace all.
Wonder who's managing or prompting the AI?

Less paychecks = less consumers and more welfare cases.

This is where UBI comes in play.

Yep the success of trump's administration. Next time they vote wisely. And trump is trying to steal the election again

What’s massive here. It’s just April fool stunt

I get the point, but framing the cuts as “AI-driven efficiency gains” actually lands better than saying it’s about financial pressure or keeping shareholders happy. People understand technological shifts; they don’t appreciate corporate spin about budgets. Putting the emphasis on advances in AI makes the decision sound strategic rather than desperate.

Biz men don’t use emotions to keep staff unfortunately.
