Microsoft laid off 10,000 workers while investing $10 billion into OpenAI.
Is AI going to replace tech workers?

Be careful, while AI more still be glitchy here and there, its getting better each day. Moore’s law kicks in and this thing is learning and improving exponentially. In ayear or so, it will consume about 30% of MS support. It’ll be offered as free support via chatbot. While I’m sure eyes will be rolling into the back of people’s heads upon reading this, this AI driven chatbot will have a larger impact than most realize. Don’t forget they have AI taking and passing MBA college level exams with a grade of a B. Soon it’ll pass exams more often with higher grades. People just can’t wait to stand in line to contribute and help this thing learn. Fast forward 5 years, the AI the taught will not be taking over their jobs. Including MS employees. This AI is forecasting issues and coming up with rememdiation solutions that work. Project management, technical issues, managerial, investments, the list goes on and on. Right now at this very second MS engineers, coders, programmers and such are going nuts to make sure their managers know that they are helping to improve AI.
Hello Dave. Would you like to play a game?
We can just keep telling MS support “its ok, its for a good reason, but how fortunate you are to now have the freedom to pursue something else” . If we say it enough, maybe they will eventually believe it.
No, it's going to replace some things and already has. Like scanning your ID or automating things that would otherwise waste labour and let it be spent somewhere useful.
AI will replace a portion of MS support. How much? Dunno, but they will easily replace 10-30% under the guise of “What a wonderful opportunity for those we are getting rid of to branch out and do other things elsewhere”.
Skynet baby!!!!! It’s on!!!!

Unionize now
Naaa....what would their consluting, multimillionaire money launderers do for a living them - those boomers made the market with them together and will not give it up for themselves of for their immediate family lagacy so it will get interesting when that comes to light.
It’ll all be the latest and greatest….until someone hacks AI. LOL
All I know is this. I went to that ChatGPT site and typed "Write a ReactJS component that consumes a firebase database".
To my surprise, it returned, boilerplate type, clean code. Code I could certainly use at work.
Can it architect and entire system?
Maybe not at this time. But, it can speed up development time - resulting in smaller teams. I can see how this could be integrated into VS.
We'll see.
Well. Apparently, number of coders even for large companies supplement their code with ChatGPT by doing some of it or have ChatGPT generate the erroneous code and debug to fix the rest.
Feeling really d-mb now with my MBA.
