I feel at the pace AI is advancing, most of us will be unemployed. The uncertainty is making me anxious, any help appreciated :)
There is no point in being scared about technological evolution. It is here to stay and will accelerate going forward. But as with each tech revolution, it displaces a lot of existing jobs and creates new ones.
Just accept this and try to upskill continuously. We are surely heading into a new phase where your existing credentials won't matter as much as your skillsets in identifying and solving problems in your domain.
Thanks, this was helpful
Well if most of us lose jobs then the companies that fired us won't have enough users to sell their stuff which would lead to their collapse which in turn will lead to a systematic economic collapse. So it won't be as drastic as we think but some areas would have some level of workforce reduction due to AI automating parts of your job.
And the human aspect will always be necessary. Because when shit happens you need a person to solve/take the fall for it. You can't blame some AI when things go bad.
Yep i agree with the economics side of things, ive thought abt that too tbh.
Whats ur take on jobs perspective?
See shopify took out a lot of custom ecom development, wix/squarespace/elementor are now default option to launch a simple webpage.
Similarly AI is going to knock off lot of other web based services. Sam Altman tweeted that dev salary market is going to correct itself drastically over next 5 years.
Why would businesses pay a agency 30k$ for an ios app when same can be attained through subscription to some giant AI service provide for couple of hundred dollars.
Currently Most people go for AWS or other cloud provider for backend infra - they don't hire engineers to set up their own distributed Data warehouses and servers. Similarly most likely in 3-5yrs all digital assets (video,image,code,music etc..) will be provided as some sort of subscription.
What the conclusion of this ?
You have 1-2 yr to Build ai saas and get acquired or change dev role to some senior position. Junior jobs will be gone for sure.
Think about it. Who is best placed to take advantage of AI? It’s us right ?
If companies don’t need employees and can just use AI, phir toh hum hi khol lenge company.
Wo to true hai, i think smaller groups wale companies hojayenge where 4-5 people manage stuff
It's scary indeed. But the cat is out of the bag. Think of how much routine work in content, marketing, social media and design can be automated. Businesses are not going to keep people around just for the human touch, no matter what they say. The overall market will shrink and there'll likely be a couple of superstars in every domain that can be hired for specialized work.
For people like us whose roles can be mostly automated, it means preparing for new opportunities that emerge in the same domain or finding a new domain altogether.

I have been working as a software developer for over 2+ years but now I am seeing AI, Low code platform, No code platform which is giving me a kind of anxiety not feeling security and comfort in work, Do you all feel the same?
Everyone in tech that I talk to seems to evangelize AI too much. On the other hand, when I talk to non-tech folks they seem to think that AI is the most evil stuff and ruins artistic and musical expressionism.
What do you think?
