Holy fuck stop posting this. Look at the methodology. It’s a shit survey meant to get clicks.

Okay. How about first hand account? My sister works developing online educational curriculum. They've let go of their entire content team. GPT and Midjourney do the bulk of the work with the directors simply acting as editors at this point.

Seems like a terrible business decision if true. Doesn't really matter though, we literally have employment statistics. If 1 in 4 companies actually replace workers, we will know about it immediately.

Thanks for providing a link. I'm not sure how much I trust a "resumebuilder.com" survey but there it is. I guess we'll have to see if there is an increase in unemployment in the short-term.

Right now there's a shortage of manual labor. In the short term you'll see a massive amount of underemployment before things fall off a cliff. We need general purpose androids as soon as possible to get us through to the other side of this.

Skilled labor, not manual. There's not a huge need for ditch diggers. There's a huge need for plumbers.

That's a fair point. I'm just glad I used to do HVAC because my FPGA job ain't going to last all that much longer I don't think.

Bitch please, all blue-collar work is skilled to a degree. Fuck out of here with this elitest nonsense.

Insults aside, I didn't say otherwise. I said there wasn't a shortage of ditch diggers.

actually there is. low-end blue collar jobs are hard to fill at wages companies want to pay...which is why they tend to hire immigrants. (both legal and illegal)
