@askcatgpt: As we tried to get Claude to automate some of the manual accounting tasks so mother_magdalen has more free time throughout the week, we realized a core sticking point of AI agents today— they still need humans to tell them what to do. AND, in many cases, they need a human to help them get unstuck. This is a major bottleneck for AI adoption and has us thinking that the way agents will ACTUALLY impact businesses will look a lot more like empowering generalists to do a lot of DIFFERENT things, rather than wholesale replacing entire roles or functions 1 for 1. What do you think? How has your experience with AI so far shaped your opinion of what the workforce will look like 1 year from now? 10 years? 📍 catlabs
You are contradicting yourself a bit. You basically said you aren’t hiring someone to do that job because you two will try to do it with the aide of AI. You are basically using technology to make yourself more productive and able to do other tasks, with hopefully a minor use of your time, and some cost savings. If it doesn’t impact your ability to do the other things you need to do, and cost less than Brad, it makes sense. However, it could have been some other sort of technology, other than AI, that allowed you to do the work yourself instead of outsourcing it.

we said this in the 90s too. the internet is going to make everyone lose their jobs because they didn't need them for information.

Morten of the North 🇨🇦🇳🇴 :
Developers who are able to automate their coding with AI think AI will replace all work, because they usually have little-to-no experience, knowledge, or even curiosity about what the work other people do is or what it entails. It is fascinating to sit down with one of these dudes (because they are ALWAYS dudes) and talk to them about how they think AI will replace work in fields they don't know. You immediately realize their understanding of the world is sliver thin, and their claims have nothing to do with AI capabilities and everything to do with Dunning Kruger.

I believe Ai x Hi is vital- human intelligence matters to protect, steward and defend companies while deploying Ai into companies infrastructures.

But it actually IS replacing people? You quite literally went on to explain how the tools are replacing people and making teams smaller.

We're doing more than we were before and we're doing it better. We're not firing people, though.

You don’t think it’s gonna keep advancing and they’ll, it’ll need less of our help like is required now. It’s just gonna get smarter, right, in a year or two years all the things that you need help you need to help it do or do on its own?

Teams will be more holocratic like Zappos (Tony Hsieh), and more project “outcome” motivated. Skill based, instead of positional authority/hierarchies were used to seeing. Brads and Jens will enter and exit fractionallybased on tacit knowledge they can contribute and leave.

The Proof AI | Tech Sales + AI :
It scales expertise. It doesn’t eliminate the need for it. Two people or 10,000 employees, the unsticking isn’t the expensive part. Reading back through what it did to find where it went wrong is, and then fixing it so it doesn’t happen again. The people who do that well know the job the work is for, not just the steps.

I work in technology and use AI almost daily at this point. I can say pretty confidently that replacing humans is not something on a very soon roadmap at this point. Humans are still needed to build and create with AI. Ultimately AI can't be accountable for actions. A human will always need to be present for accountability purposes

It is replacing ppl. We don’t have enough jobs for ppl. Companies are laying off workers due to AI. Come on now.

I still think that what most people don’t seem to understand is, the future of AI is collaboration with humans not replace humans but collaborate that’s all the good stuff happens in collaboration. Human creativity and taste mixed with all the world’s intelligence. Sounds like a beautiful brilliant idea.
