Subj : market change due to To : Mindsurfer From : Nightfox Date : Thu Sep 04 2025 12:20:31 Re: market change due to By: Mindsurfer to MRO on Thu Sep 04 2025 08:36 pm Mi> How about jobs in marketing or layout / design? when you have a product Mi> and need some good looking product shots? Is that something where the AI Mi> could take jobs? I'm not sure. I think part of marketing and layout/design and photos requires a sort of instinct to know what might or might not succeed in a certain place (sometimes I think it's just a guess - I initially didn't see much value in the iPhone, but several years later I got a smartphone and I liked it). Also, for photos, I think there's a sense of what makes a good shot; I think AI could be trained for that, but I feel like there's still times when a human could just do better. But I can see AI improving. Mi> Or how about tax advisors? It seems to me that taxes are one thing where AI could probably succeed in helping people. While complicated, it's possible to follow all the details of tax laws and make recommendations, which I think computers are already good at even without AI. I've been using tax software (such as TurboTax) to help with my taxes for a long time. Mi> The question is if AI is overhyped and it will just get a bit better over Mi> time only, or if we are really at the beginning of a world/life changing Mi> technology that has just started. I imagine AI will get better, but I'm nervous about where it's heading. I almost feel like a situation like in Terminator or The Matrix could be a real thing. Also, things like Elon Musks's Neuralink make me nervous.. Elon Musk leads the development of Neuralink, and he's also into AI, so I'd be nervous that it may lead to some kind of AI-assisted brain implant of some kind. I feel like if we allow something like that, then it's crossing a line into something that could be dangerous - perhaps we could end up like the Borg from Star Trek.
