So, here’s a topic that’s been grappling my mind lately. I’m in the my 30’s, give or take, graduated higher level schooling later in life than most. Perhaps, perhaps not. I work in the engineering industry. The amount of AI that I see on a day-to-day basis is astounding. LLM’s are now installed in most programs. Most of my work amounts to reporting, project management, and some out-of-office tasks.

It’s interesting. People rarely utilize AI. They don’t seem worried about the security of their job. I worry for them, as they certainly complete very solid work. The work we specialize in certainly requires critical analysis, but I can’t help but think that a solid foundation could be automized. Reporting, especially at the junior levels, could definitely be taken over by AI. Don’t be scared of one LM. But think of the probability of multiple LLMs forming into a single for increased computing output . That’s where we’ll be headed. Your job won’t be taken over by just one. Simple templating, data entry, initial critique of analysis, ect. What’s the point of hiring co-op students anymore, if the AI can replace their work? Middle managers will certainly be replaced. Math-based careers, gone. I really only see relationship-client managers and AI supervisors (those supervising AI outputs) as being able to withstand the increased usage of AI in consultancy.

Needless to say, it’s caused me anxiety. I’ve tried my best to implement AI in my work, and I think I’ve become more productive because of it. But eventually, let’s say, AI will eventually outdo my productiveness. I don’t really have any perceivable justification for this, but i can see AI causing massive disruptions within 5-10 years max. Does anyone else struggle with this possibility? My work gives me quite a bit of pride. I’d hate to lose that.
