Which career path is not ruined by AI? - Lemmy.zip

I’m kind of sick of being a dev. I hate AI with a passion. I hate the hallucinations, I hate slop, I hate megacrops, I hate the environmental impacts, I hate the massive costs. I could go on but you get the picture. At work I often times have to review vibe code slop from people who clock in 9 to 5 and don’t give a fuck (I respect that, I just wish your fucking code wasn’t slop) I’m sick of it, I’m sick of hearing about AI tooling or new models or bro agentic actions bro based on your documentation bro. I want to switch careers, so which career is not ruined by AI?

Join us, become a tradie. Get a company vehicle. Work with your hands. Become enough of an expert in your that you can tell customers to go fuck themselves if they’re dicks. Have every company in the area be desperate to hire you because every trade is short handed. Work with people who barely understand the concept of a computer. Spend half of every paycheck on milwalkee packout tool boxes. Never have to work with AI again.

My preference is HVAC-R but plumber or electrician are also good choices. Building automation may seem attractive bet then you’re getting close to the AI danger zone again.

Ironically, the three trades you listed are in high demand right now specifically because of the rapid rollout of the data centers needed to power AI.
