I can literally hear the snark in your question from here...
While I understand that generative AI is getting better every day, I'm honestly not super confident it will honestly replace too many jobs. We may get a lot of companies laying people off siting AI productivity improvements, but generative AI is still too messy for use yet.
Lots of companies are banning it in the workplace because they don't trust where the data in the prompts goes. If you put company propriety data into the prompt, who will see that? From a legal standpoint, if you use generated images for the company's social media, and an artist can prove that its extremely close to their original image (that was part of the model the AI was trained on) then who might they sue? Your company? The AI tool company? It's all a little murky at the moment.
That all said, I'd definitely suggest people try to upskill themselves in areas that GAI can't replace, just in case.
This is only until a company is able to put its own AI into practice, meaning that it is internal only and they can firewall off data they don't want it to see. I know for a fact this is already happening.
While we focus on the generations we can see, it is all the administration work that is going to be the first to be impacted.
Yeah, Microsoft is pushing pretty hard to implement Walled Off large language models for each company that uses their general AI software. It's a great idea that I think will only get more and more popular as the costs come down.
Good point, I forgot about that alternative.
