Could a robot take your job?

Kiss my shiny metal ass!

All those other robots would be at least twice as good if they said that as well.

 

"Bite my shiny metal ass, Dorothy!"

 

I can imagine K9 saying it, definitely

You just know K9 had a stash of cigars and moonshine in him.

I work in data / analytics for (probably) the most popular bank in the UK. AI is widespread and definitely I'd say well adopted throughout the company.

The way we're using AI at the moment, I'd say the most optimal way to work with it is to treat it as a junior employee that needs to be coached and mentored. And it works perfectly as such.

 

Essentially it does a pretty good job at easy-mid triviality tasks almost immediately that would take a junior a while to figure out. So it is like having an army of junior employees who need to be coached and guided, at almost no cost. 

 

It's kind of crazy the progress it has made over the past year. Essentially I think in my industry, people will eventually become "agent" managers (rather than Engineering Managers). It is worrying that I can see if we're not careful, there will be a lack of incentive to hire junior engineers, just because the work isn't really there.
