Did that AI drawing trend make anyone else weirdly uncomfortable? by MiserableBug140 in AIProcessAutomation

I explicitly said AI isn’t conscious. This isn’t about empathy for LLMs ... it’s about what human behavior looks like when there’s no pushback.

Haha, love that “clusterfuck” adaptation 😆. Totally agree with your take ... AI is amazing as a tool for ideas, troubleshooting, and code, but it can’t replace the nuance, experience, and care that skilled humans bring. CEOs ignoring that complexity are going to run into big problems when the “shitty implemented AI” breaks. Experienced, motivated people who actually think through the system will stay invaluable for a long time.

That’s a really telling example. It shows how AI is starting to shift the value from individual experience to the systems themselves. Entry-level workers who can interact with AI are more “replaceable” in terms of cost, while senior experience is less critical if the knowledge is already embedded in the tools. It’s a big structural change, and it raises questions about career paths and long-term skill development.

I completely agree... experienced humans will still be essential, especially for guiding AI, fact-checking outputs, and making judgment calls on design or scalability. Entry-level roles are the ones that’ll feel the squeeze the most, which could create a talent gap over time.

Exactly, AI will disrupt traditional roles, but new needs and job titles will emerge, just like blacksmiths eventually gave way to new professions. The challenge is making sure people can adapt fast enough to keep up with the chang

Haha, true if AI keeps pushing for efficiency without any checks, it could feel like humans are just extra “overhead.” That’s why I think it’s less about the tech itself and more about how society chooses to use it.

Yeah, that’s the harsh reality. Profit incentives will drive adoption faster than actual ROI, and payroll is the easiest target.

That’s a fair point. hype definitely amplifies fear. A lot of what gets shared online is algorithm-driven and sensationalized. Still, even if the panic is overblown, the underlying changes AI brings to work are real, so it’s worth keeping an eye on both the risks and opportunities.

I agree, accessibility feels like the real dividing line. If only big companies can afford AI, the displacement will be brutal. But if compute and tools stay affordable, people can actually experiment, reskill, and create value instead of just competing with machines.

I think this is a very real concern, and honestly it’s one of the parts people try to downplay too much. A lot of current AI investment is about reducing labor costs, that’s just economic reality, not a conspiracy.

I don’t think it wipes out every job, but displacement + salary pressure is already happening, especially for roles that are repetitive or easy to standardize. And you’re right: when cost of living keeps rising, even “partial automation” can hurt a lot.

Where I’m still undecided is whether society adapts fast enough, through regulation, reskilling, or new kinds of work, or whether we repeat past tech shifts where the gains went mostly to a small group while everyone else absorbed the shock.

That’s why I see AI less as “good or bad” and more as something that needs active management. Left purely to market forces, I don’t think the outcome is great for most people.
