@jasongorman I don't get the meme AI will replace certain jobs at all. I think it might replace 80% of a certain job though (as a software developer, I can see that it might do that for software development). I dont think that's better either.

It will typically replace "junior" work and require more training/experience to do (since you now immediately need to evaluate someone else's work)

@jasongorman I've seen what automation did for some administration jobs (from the outside, as a software developer of said automation).

It replaced the 80% of a job which was relatively easy/rote, and then people's whole job was suddenly the 20% harder work, which made the job way more complex as there was less slack/time to coast.
