Pessimist here, but I see no consequential job being beyond AI (present and *near* future). If something "needs" to be done then it can be analyzed as a problem needing a solution... which can be solved and standardized using AI.
What's the point of preparing for a career that only exists for a couple months? Things like "Prompt Engineer" feel like denial to me.

Also thank you for the info, keep up the great work

People really do stick "engineer" behind any word these days😂

"In 5 minutes or less." (Video is almost 7 minutes). You should meet "2 Minute Papers" 😂

At this point... regulations? The genie escape in all world computers and thanks to high tech. pc existing ANYONE have a personal IA trained in all methods.

Not to be mean but F the EU. Let other countries take fire away from their citizens while the rest of the world advances in AI.

If anything, this will only extremely enhance people who work specifically in SEO for marketing. It's just so unfair to have 90% of the job be based around text being read lol. Throw in a few affiliate links that have a high pay out in about a year from now you could* make six figures.

I can't wait for the new commercials..."My owner has fallen...and he can't get up!".

This is what happens when people act before they think and why you need subject matter experts at the table and not just reactionary politicians….I feel sorry for Europe🤦🏼‍♂️
