Is Ai going to take over your dream job?

You have have seen on social media the new trend captioned "AI will take over your job" causing a buzz online that has now lead to students withdrawing from their degree courses, questioning if it is worth working for when AI can do the same thing automatically.

But do we, as the future generation of doctors, content creators, politicians, designers, need to be concerned about our job security? Is there any point getting a degree and working towards getting your dream job when an AI assistant can do it already and for free?

Lets look at some career examples and see whether there need for concern or if its just rumours circulating the media at this point in time that, like many other social affairs, will fizzle out soon enough?

Journalism- Whilst I can assure you all of LevTimes's content is original and written by a member of our very real and human team, I can't say for any other magazine or marketing section that promotes their company online or in print. Whilst for decades now writers have employed the internet and other e-tools to gather and organise research, Generative AI is posing a completely different threat of replacing jobs entirely instead of just aiding them. 7/10 interviewed journalist have expressed concern about their job security in the face of AI growing more and more prominent in our daily lives as we speak. Yet whilst some like myself see a threat, others see opportunity to enhance clarity, research depth and efficiency of journalistic as well as creative writing. Whilst this may be so, that AI bots can improve the style in which humans write, at the same time it strips articles and works from human essence and passion which is innately human and emotional- something technology can never provide. AI can't replace human emotion as much as it may try given that it relies on pre-existing information and opinions coded by humans some of which is discriminative, inaccurate or completely false and taken of context. It is this fact that acts as the salvation for many worried journalists who fear their creative skill can be replaced so easily. Though AI authored texts are becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish from original writing, it is not and cannot be impossible to discern.

Jobs in Health Care and Medicine- Already, with numerous problems left unnoticed and unresolved throughout the NHS, people are turning to AI assistants to diagnose their problems and provide solutions to them based on online recommendations that are usually exaggerated or misleading due to the lack of accessibility of real medical advise and treatment. People are losing trust in their health care providers and AI is waiting to fill this void in their typical unreliable manner. Technology already plays a huge, fundamental role in administering care and treatment in every sector of medicine whilst people spend years of their life training to become Doctors, nurses surgeons or something else in the medical job sector. So whats important to remember is that AI has not taken part in this extensive education and training even when coded to have that knowledge it does not have human compassion or skill to treat other humans independently. Perhaps in direct contact with humans and being responsible for their quality of living is one on the few job areas that AI can never break into. However it is also one of the most challenging fields to want to work in.

Now, these are just a couple out of thousands of role that you aspire to take on but hopefully they shine some like on AI's limitations and confirms that even though it make still develop further, that it is not without human assistance and therefore, we control how far we let it into our working and personal lives. Keep building aspirations without considering the threat AI poses to it.
