“Microsoft just revealed” actin like they have a crystal ball or something. Werent software developers supposed to be extinct in 6-12 months 3 years ago? And then again 2.5 years ago? And then again… you get the point.
This is insane coming from Microsoft because I used Microsoft co-pilot to look up a setting in Microsoft co-pilot and it wasn’t even self-aware enough to tell me which corner the screen the settings button was on.
Did they use Microsoft Copilot to come up with this list? Because if so, I don’t trust it for a second.

Having the kids taught by copilot is pretty much watering the crops with Brawndo.
This is Microsoft’s wish list of jobs they wish they could replace with Microsoft CoPilot collection of worker apps
They should come up with a list of Microsoft jobs most exposed to AI before trying to lecture others
Depends what kind of education you want. If you just want students to punch questions into AI for whatever answer the AI spits out….yes.

The idea that historian is at the top of the list should tell you everything you need to know about how clueless tech bros are about the applications of AI. Weaving a complex and novel understanding of a topic using judgment across multiple sources is literally the opposite of what AI can do.
Replacing tech bros on the other hand…
Who writes this drivel? More importantly who funds it?
Microsoft researchers have no idea about what people in these jobs actually do.
You’ll notice the jobs that pose the biggest threats to AI and the oligarchy’s monopoly of wealth and power are of course on this list: historians, writers, librarians, political scientists, archivists.

Models making the list made me laugh. Like… okay? What.
They are simply full of shit. They need to keep the money spigot open from investors for a product that hasn’t delivered a profit in ten years.
Oh, so the people making the AI to make my life worse, publish a list of jobs that it plans to ruin the lives for the people that hold them and we are supposed to, what… believe them. Lol. GTFO.
>Company heavily invested into ai reveals jobs it hopes it will replace in the future
I dont want to live in a world without actual hot human models… and happy overly enthusiastic annoying radio DJs
“Microsoft have revealed the 40 industries they wish to target their AI marketing towards”
FTFY

Can’t wait for AI to buy rounds at the bar to get me to buy AI
jokes on you because everyone knows teachers don’t teach, they babysit
Floor sanders. I’m guessing they are imaging some Roomba like thing., but somebody has to change the sandpaper and empty the bag.. is that really AI?
To be honest, the more doomer posts about job replacement I see due to “experts warning us” is just a glorified ad for how fried their investments are and how LLMs are turning into a big nothing burger.
LLMs sure will now exist but they won’t achieve AGI due to how they work and the limited information they have to scrape.
Microslop will release an update on Tuesday that fixes bugs in this list, and an emergency update to the list next Saturday.
Thank goodness my dream of becoming a “motorboat operator” is looking better and better!!
A) Historians being put out of work by AI feels a stretch considering how perspective based history truely is. Possibly their research time may be cut down but any historical info an AI produces will need a litany of double checking in order to ensure accuracy.
B) ‘Teachers’ is way too broad to use in a title and based on the article the teachers they’re referencing are more specialised and narrow. I can potentially see high school teachers in academic subjects being eventually replaced but anything where hands on is required will be difficult to replace, especially the younger you go. The only way I see school teachers specifically being replaced is if the entire tax system implodes and there’s no way to pay teachers through government, but there will still be workshops for hands-on learning. People still need to function and think so education won’t be eradicated, I’m guessing it may go back to a more craft-based focus where it’s more apprenticeship based rather than university and formal based.
