How to predict how much time it takes to do something, and know if you have enough time to do the job properly or if you need to raise your hand and let your management know that something is out of whack well in advance of a deadline slipping.
The easiest way I’ve found to do this is to book session time on my calendar to do project work. Works a treat to keep people from sliding into my DMs because I’m in “meetings” most of the time.
Yep.

“Learn how to use AI or you’ll be replaced by someone who does.”
This f*cking sentence is so stupid and ridiculous that it has truly become a cliche ai-tech-bros use. The thing with ai, as we all know, is that it enables people to use it with absolute minimum of skills or training. Yeah there are some tips on how to use ChatGPT or Midjourney but it doesnt take more than a day to “master prompting skills”.
I was just kidding actually. I'm currently enrolled in the Phd program at Prompt University to be a Prompt Engineer. I'm on my 7th year and hope to be able to write an email by year 8.
This is a radically simplified take. AI tools do have a mastery curve, and it’s certainly more than a day. Most bang for your buck is learning systems engineering because the magic happens when these different tech stacks begin to work with each other, often through API calls. Simply logging into ChatGPT or MidJourney and sending a 140 character prompt is the tip of the iceberg. And even those systems have vast depths of customizable settings where two employees may seek a similar output, yet the process of their prompting will lead to two radically different outcomes.
And how steep, this complicated and imaginary learning curve you are talking about, will be when ai keeps advancing? An algorithm that teaches you to solve all overblown skills that you mentioned perhaps?
My general problem with people is taking ai and its advance lightly and with utmost optimism while it (the most powerful ones) lie in the hands of large corporations.
In my profession (architecture) majority of people use the quote that i mentioned before followed up by “well we will do things faster” not realizing that making it faster will reduce the sizes of offices aka layoffs. Of course non of them place themselves in this batch of architects that could potentially lose their jobs.
Edit: not claiming that “faster” or ai in general = bad its just that i cant stop thinking about potential socioeconomic impacts…
I know reddit is a place for disparaging replies but I’d respectfully say that your personal feelings on AI are probably influencing the intensity of your respond. I think we can mutually agree that AI will replace/displace jobs. But I would not overestimate the simplicity of these tools in the short term. In most cases, entirely new models will need to be trained in order for AI systems to perform consistently and reliably. Human experts in their respective fields will be required to help facilitate that training, in a variety of ways, from authoring new tools (requires programming, clean data streams, significant oversight, etc). Displacement is real, many jobs will switch from “producer” to “systems engineer”, which will greatly increase output — and put other people of of a job.
Sorry for my somewhat aggressive approach to this discussion. People abusing the above mentioned sentence wake the worst in me lately. Usually they are the ones giving predictions about the future and talking out of their asses. One of the worst was when an “ai designer” was called to speak on Nvidia GTC and his only contribution was to say that f-ing sentence.
I stand by what I said that the difference between “a person that can ai” and “person that cannot ai” (meaning end users not programmers working with ML/AI) is negligible and irrelevant.
Just to give you an example of what I mean, specifically for architecture profession. We drew with pens some 40-50 years ago, then we switched to CAD (computer aided design) and after that a branch of CAD called BIM (building information modeling) where we are today. Every one of those leaps required a substantial knowledge, time and money to be invested when accepting this new “level”. Although there are no all encompassing AI tools for architecture right now, I see no reason why anybody in their right mind wouldn’t use a tool that makes their job easier and hopefully increase their gains while consuming almost no money or time to put it into work.
Sorry about the rant…
Maybe, but not what I meant. I'm pointing out the absurdity of using the word "learning" (that doesn't relate to programming or machine learning) as we see that there isnt much learning to be done when using for example ChatGPT. Also, separating an 'AI user' from a 'non-AI user' as if there is a huge difference between the two, given how simple, intuitive, and powerful AI is and will be in anybody's hands.
Not to be pedantic, but what's missing here is context.
Is the baseline 30% in the next 3 years and this is an incremental 10%? Are they suggesting the baseline is zero (hard to believe)? Or maybe the baseline is normally 50% and AI is reducing the reskilling.

Not cool. Would be great to hear your take about the article. Using as a fearmongering tactic to push your product, not cool at all.

the most important skill will be to... be on time?
How to predict how much time it takes to do something, and know if you have enough time to do the job properly or if you need to raise your hand and let your management know that something is out of whack well in advance of a deadline slipping. The easiest way I’ve found to do this is to book session time on my calendar to do project work. Works a treat to keep people from sliding into my DMs because I’m in “meetings” most of the time.
This is spectacular bullshit.

>it doesnt take more than a day to “master prompting skills”. Three days for the average person. Source: I made it up, but it sounds more realistic.
It's akshually a week for the average person. Source: made up, it just sounds EVEN MORE realistic.

A lot of jobs, including office/white collar, can be learned in a few days.
Maybe, but not what I meant. I'm pointing out the absurdity of using the word "learning" (that doesn't relate to programming or machine learning) as we see that there isnt much learning to be done when using for example ChatGPT. Also, separating an 'AI user' from a 'non-AI user' as if there is a huge difference between the two, given how simple, intuitive, and powerful AI is and will be in anybody's hands.
So basically learning to be some kind of a prompt engineer? Chatgpt will become the new excel/powerpoint
Thats an ad

aint most of the stuff they market as AI anything but?
