I would, but now there’s free LLM’s that can do what I do literally for free and 1000x faster.
Past that, I have no marketable skills that a modern LLM doesn’t also have, and better.
I very much doubt I’m alone in this. Between now and say, two to five years tops, my employers will know it too.
I’m in the same boat as you. Nothing I can do can’t be done by an LLM or someone with Google. I fucking hate my job but realistically I won’t find anything better.
Learned language model- it’s the technical term for things like ChatGPT or bing search. They basically predict what comes next in a form of advanced auto-completion.
Unionize. Individually your power to change things is weak, together your power is strong. The only thing power listens to is a greater power and the reality is that your bosses likely rely on you more than you rely on them.
I guarantee you do have useful skills and that they are better than what an LLM can produce. Don’t listen to the hype that will be used to justify taking your ability to live from you in exchange for higher profits.
Just wait it out … being confidently wrong only works for a limited time until people realize it isn’t working at all … and the point at which people, especially corporate leaders, realize it isn’t working is the point when they start seeing that they aren’t making money any more.
Funnily enough, that’s also what a large portion of people do too, just regurgitate stuff without comprehending its meaning.
Lots of people get phds while just being able to answer textbook questions, start questioning them to get them to apply that knowledge and it’s just air. It’s literally what people call “book smart” vs “street smart”.
start questioning them to get them to apply that knowledge
That’s literally what people do to get a PhD, they defend their thesis by answering a bunch of questions from professors about it. That’s the point of a PhD.
It has nothing to do with “street smarts” unless the degree is from the “School of Hard Knocks”.
Sorry maybe not phds specifically, but masters and bachelors maybe? Lots of certificates and qualifications require just written tests, no practical testing.
Ok, but you said “lots of people get PhDs” without being able to defend their ideas. It’s literally the opposite.
No one gets a PhD without being able to defend their ideas from very hard questions. You are 100% incorrect. Your dissertation defense did not go well and we cannot award you the degree of “Doctorate of Commenting”.
At what point are you satisfied after someone admits their mistake? Are ya just going to stay hung up on the fact that someone said something incorrect? Do you move on?

We never needed LLMs to do that computationally.
What’s an LLM?
Learned language model- it’s the technical term for things like ChatGPT or bing search. They basically predict what comes next in a form of advanced auto-completion.
Large Language Model*
large language model, e.g. Bing Copilot or Google Bard
File LLMs under “confidently doing it wrong”. They don’t know anything, they just parrot what was scraped off the internet
I knew plenty of people that also do just that
Not disagreeing, but what does that help the thousands who will still lose their jobs regardless?
It doesn’t.

People who know whats good and wont settle for mediocrity are out there. Market to them!

Jokes on you, OP’s job is parroting things that were scraped off the internet!
Ah! Modern journalism?
Yeah, but when I do it it’s funny because it’s a reference

Ok, but you specifically said “PhD”. Your comment sounds like you just don’t know what a doctorate is.
And I made a mistake, it happens and I even admitted it and provided the proper examples.
Very few qualifications require practical testing, if you want to circle a discussion on the one I made a mistake on in choosing that’s on you.

And I admitted I made a mistake and corrected it.
What do you think you’re proving by continuing to argue after I admitted my mistake, corrected it and explained it? Lmfao.
