alt Hacker NewsMost companies contain several layers worth of business context that the higher ups have no idea of, as well.
Everything from "unpaid bills are handled this way" through "the website has a certificate that needs yearly renewal" to "we need to report our earnings biweekly in Indonesia, and we need to retry the form several times before it works".
This is not fundamentally doable by LLMs because the higher ups wouldn't know what to ask for, and if they did it would not be feasible to keep everything in single persons head, no matter how AI-assisted.
So that alone I think guarantees a good amount of unreplaced jobs.
Eh, this sounds like the people that have been replaced at a lot of companies already.
>"the website has a certificate that needs yearly renewal"
For example, why modern certificates are being dropped down to very short times. The push to automate everything.
>"unpaid bills are handled this way"
Any company that has things like this will start changing their process.
You have this idea (and maybe the AI company CEOs do too) that this will be like a container drop in. No, instead these things will be part of a gradual process change and human parts will eventually disappear.

What percent. This is what matters at the end of the day. Once unemployment reaches high rates over all age groups in a society that is used to low unemployment things go bad. It can take longer to go bad where you have social safety nets and jobs programs, but in places like the US that is communism, so expect the haves to shoot at the have nots.
