 Determine if AI will disrupt your career

Industries/Jobs that will be quickly replaced by AI

James Altucher

1. Journalists

Newspapers don't need journalists, or even op-ed writers, or even editors anymore

An AI can find trending topics on Twitter or other platforms (Reddit, or even AP releases) and summarize them in a journalistic style with more knowledge than any journalist.

AI can edit the piece. Perhaps you need one editor per category to figure out how to direct the AI with specific questions.

The editor in chief/publisher who determines the slant of the op-ed page can create op-ed pieces just by asking the AI.

2. 2/3s of all lawyers.

Any lawyer that used to unlock information (traffic lawyers, parking ticket lawyers, etc) as opposed to taking action (appearing in court, negotiating) can be replaced by AI.

3. Simple computer programmers.

ChatGPT has access to all open source software and can write 100,000s of simple programs.

4. Many graphic designers.

Go to designs.ai, put in your company name and answer a few questions and it will spit out a bunch of professional looking logos. Don't like your choices? Try again.

5. Authors of how-to books or cookbooks

Look up a recipe on ChatGPT and you’ll see what I mean. Ask it how to do something and you’ll see what I mean.

6. People who make training/how-to videos

Here's an example. It's not quite there yet (I still think the voice and people look slightly artificial) but it will get there:

7. Factory workers

Check out Tesla's work in progress: the Optimus robot.

8. retail workers

Already happening. I think there's a McDonald's that’s fully automated.

9. overnight security guards

Sensors can detect suspicious behavior, etc and report to police.

10. customer service

Already happening. There are some companies way ahead of the curve that might be investment-worthy.

Keep to yourself

Your political beliefs.  People’s political beliefs are too closely tied to their identities to be discussed without incident at work. Disagreeing with someone else’s views can quickly alter their otherwise strong perception of you. Confronting someone’s core values is one of the most insulting things you can do. Granted, different people treat politics differently, but asserting your values can alienate some people as quickly as it intrigues others. Even bringing up a hot-button world event without asserting a strong opinion can lead to conflict. People build their lives around their ideals and beliefs, and giving them your two cents is risky. Be willing to listen to others without inputting anything on your end because all it takes is a disapproving look to start a conflict. Political opinions are so deeply ingrained in people, that challenging their views is more likely to get you judged than to change their mind. That you think someone is incompetent.  There will always be...

How to choose a career that lines up with how you like to spend your time

  How to choose a career that lines up with how you like to spend your time BY  Elizabeth Grace Saunders When you’re searching for a job that will make you happy, it’s common to think about the kind of work you like doing, the impact you want to make in the world, the size of your paycheck, and how impressive the company name will sound on your LinkedIn profile. But as a time management coach, I find that one of the key factors in your overall job happiness is how much time you’ll need to put into your career. If the hours you work don’t align with how you like to spend your time, you can end up feeling miserable, even if you love the work and you’re paid well for it. In fact, one of the top reasons people left their jobs during the recent Great Resignation was  burnout . To make sure that you land in a work environment that will make you happy from a time commitment point of view, you’ll need to look into not only the job responsibilities, but also the job lifestyle.
