How soon will AI start replacing human jobs?

We have been using AI for almost a year now for some automated tasks.
It's only as good as the information that it's given to work with.
That includes all the incompetence that existed before the AI was implemented for administrative tasks.

I can't tell you how much slop I have to correct now WITHOUT HELP.
Two words. Malicious Compliance.

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.

There are some local fast food restaurants I don’t go to because they’ve shifted to AI in the drive-through.

And tech-support for my company, they’re training an AI as their own replacement.

It’s scary good at pointing me to relevant statutes, regulations, and case law that might otherwise take me hours of manual research and standard Boolean searches to find. I love it. And yes, I then go and read everything it references before relying on any of it, but it saves time - a lot of time - in the initial research.

I have caught it (once) misinterpreting an opinion, telling me the opinion said something it didn’t say at all, but overall, I’d give it a solid 95% accuracy score.

If I was in a firm with a private library and librarian (fancy large firms have these), the research librarian could easily be replaced by this tool.

I certainly know it could draft most of the family law petitions, pleadings and final orders I did as a paralegal with mimimal input.

“America’s layoff wave took a chilling new turn in March as artificial intelligence became the top reason companies gave for slashing jobs.

US employers announced 60,620 job cuts in March, a sharp 25 percent jump on the month before, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. AI was linked to one in every four of those. …”

Right now it is an excuse to reduce the labor force as lots of tech firms over hired for different reasons and they are getting rid of the less competent.

Soon it will be the reason.

My son has a friend with no experience in tech that used AI to completely right an Iphone App just using AI in three days.

It is not made to scale for a large user base but he doesn't care or need it to.

He is a bright guy, but soon this is going to be the norm.
