      CEO is usually my answer as well when people ask

      Like, honestly too. The humans running the show are outrageously expensive, cause huge ecological harm, make their decisions based on vibes with no understanding of their domain, and their purposes are inscrutable to the average worker. They’re honestly the perfect target for AI because they already behave like AI.

      I don’t think I actually want to live in a world where AI is running the show, but I’m not sure it’d be any worse than the current system of letting the most parasitic bloodsucking class of human being call the shots. Maybe we ought to try something else first.

      But make sure to tell the board of directors and shareholders how much more profitable they’d be if they didn’t have to buy golden parachutes

        I’d say that you could replace quite a few high level academic administrators for these same reasons.

        They already behave like AI; but AI would be cheaper, more efficient, and wouldn’t change every 2 years.

        And I mean that as an insult to admin, not a compliment to AI.

          I was going to ask if you would want an AI to decide on tenure, then I thought about the people who usually decide on tenure and maybe AI is a better option.

    LLMs. Clearly they suck at their job and an AI should take over.

    The kind of dangerous jobs where people still get payed to risk their life and health.

      I just considered that at some point advertising will be catering to AIs, if they aren’t already.

        Coke just released an AI generated “holiday” commercial. The simulacrum slices off another level of reality for humans.

    The question of which jobs should be replaced by AI depends on societal values, priorities, and the potential impact on workers. Generally, jobs most suited for replacement by AI involve repetitive, high-volume tasks, or those where automation can improve safety, efficiency, or precision. Here are some categories often discussed:

    Repetitive and Routine Tasks

    • Manufacturing and assembly line work: Machines can perform repetitive tasks with greater efficiency and precision.

    • Data entry and processing: AI can automate mundane tasks like updating databases or processing forms.

    • Basic customer service: Chatbots and virtual assistants can handle frequently asked questions and routine inquiries.

    High-Risk Roles

    • Dangerous jobs in mining or construction: Robots can reduce human exposure to hazardous environments.

    • Driving in risky environments: Self-driving vehicles could improve safety for delivery drivers or long-haul truckers in hazardous conditions.

    Analytical and Predictable Roles

    • Basic accounting and bookkeeping: AI can handle invoicing, payroll, and tax calculations with high accuracy.

    • Legal document review: AI can analyze contracts and identify discrepancies more quickly than humans.

    • Radiology and diagnostics: AI is becoming adept at reading medical scans and assisting in diagnoses.

    Jobs With High Inefficiencies

    • Warehouse operations: Inventory sorting and retrieval can be automated for faster fulfillment.

    • Food service (e.g., fast food preparation): Robotic systems can prepare meals consistently and efficiently.

    • Retail checkout: Self-checkout systems and AI-powered kiosks can streamline purchases.

    Considerations for Replacement

    1. Human Impact: Automation should ideally target roles where job transitions can be supported with retraining and upskilling.

    2. Creativity and Emotional Intelligence: Jobs requiring complex human interaction, creativity, or emotional intelligence (e.g., teaching, counseling) are less suitable for AI replacement.

    3. Ethical Concerns: Some jobs, like judges or certain healthcare roles, involve moral decision-making where human judgment is irreplaceable.

    Instead of framing it as total “replacement,” many advocate for AI to augment human workers, enabling them to focus on higher-value tasks while reducing drudgery.

      Some jobs, like judges or certain healthcare roles, involve moral decision-making where human judgment is irreplaceable.

      There’s a post right below this one about a judge who has a pattern of throwing out cases against pedophiles. So, the machines might be better than us at that one.

      So apparently the job of answering the question “what job should be replaced by AI” is a job that can be replaced by AI.

    Any body-breaking heavy labour. Emphasis on body-breaking; there’s nothing wrong with hard work, but there are certain people that believe hard work = leaving your body destroyed at 50.

    Anti-Cheats. Train an AI on gameplay data (position, actions, round duration, K/D, etc.) of caught cheaters and usw that to flag new ones. No more Kernel level garbage, just raw gameplay data.

      It’s also good since it’s low stakes. I mean I’d be furious if misidentified after I paid to use the game and but at the end of the day it’s only a game.

    None. The current ones with internet content, reporting, and call centers are already making things worse. Just no.

    It can definitely be a useful tool though, as long as you understand its limitations. My kids school had them feed an outline to ChatGPT and correct the result. Excellent

    • consultants generate lots of reports that ai can help with
    • I find ai useful to summarize chat threads that are lower priority
    • a buddy of mine uses it as a first draft to summarize his teams statuses
    • I’m torn on code solutions. Sometimes it’s really nice but you can’t forward a link. More importantly the people who need it most are least likely to notice where it hallucinates. Boilerplate works a little better
