I doubt the whole narrative is true, it may just be hope that we do not need to hire because we will be able to do it with AI. But reality outside of software and tech is very different. I work in an organisation that heavily pushing AI and even with that push, a typical employee is still not utilising it fully, unprepared and expecting training from the employer. There is also a disconnect over connecting org data to these tools and between developers and cyber teams.
A dermatologist a short while ago with this idea would have to find a willing and able partner to do a bunch of work -- meaning that most likely it would just remain an idea.
This isn't just for non-tech people either -- I have a decades long list of ideas I'd like to work on but simply do not have time for. So now I'm cranking up the ol' AI agents an seeing what I can do about it.
