I can see my job going. Overseeing computer based testing. Candidates arrive for appointment. Get booked in, security checks and basic search then sat at desk.

I'll just be there in case of 'emergencies'.

Retail staff. Any questions can be answered by AI.

It sounds like you work at the Aperture Science Enrichment Center.

I’m a drone pilot and I put a custom Portal voice pack on my transmitter so when I boot it up it says “Hello and welcome to the Aperture Science Enrichment Centre.”

I have no idea what this means.

It's from the video game Portal. You go through a test facility overseen by an AI computer and as you progress, you eventually realize that the computer killed all the humans that were supposed to be overseeing her testing.

I can relate, and I know we're all laughing through the pain, but I'm actually terrified for us.

All these "AI will work for us" are just wishful thinking IMO. I'm just hoping humanity will create new jobs that we're qualified to do (and still young enough to learn when the time comes)

The feeling of potentially being in my 40s- 50s and everything in my resume being obsolete and I'm too young to retire, too old to start over is terrifying.

Doom rant end lol

Am 65. I won't see the full impact of it, but I dread to think what sort of world my daughter (21) is going to face. Although she'll have a rough idea as her fiance is a bit of a boffin and works in AI.
