    I’m not American but I guarantee an AI could do over 95% of my job (techops/devops datacenter). It’s only a matter of time until the upper pencil pushers realise this as well.

    As an aside, I know my future isn’t in IT anymore, looking for an exit atm.

      About the only jobs I believe to be AI-resistant are trade jobs. Until robotics catches up with AI (in regards to how capable it is in replacing humans) there won’t be much use for AI in the trades except maybe as a reference tool. That would still lower the pay of the job (little skill required, just ask the AI what to do next) but at least AI can’t actually do the thing because you can’t digitize the flow of water or the laying of tiles.

      I feel like exit from IT is the wrong move tbh. Senior workers will reap the rewards it’s the newbies who are getting into IT now are potentially in trouble.

      There will be new job possibilities and niches and AI will just empower people. Suddenly one person can launch and grow a startup which tbh not really possible today even if you’re a straight up genius. Problems will be solved faster and competition will drastically raise the quality of all software.
