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?

I’m picking up furniture making. Handcrafted furniture will always be needed

What? Ikea wrecked that a long time ago. Not that you can’t make a living but the demand isn’t high in any way whatsoever. Hand crafted furniture has become a luxury.

Hand crafted furniture has become a luxury

So you make more money selling them. I see no issues.

The issue is in finding buyers who have enough money to spend on those luxury goods.

I feel like luxury goods are harder to into in terms of career change and it’s a bit off to characterize them as always needed.

No issues, just become a master craftsmen and compete with other master craftsmen. Easy.
