One of the advantages of having lived as an adult for a bit over two decades is that you have almost certainly seen a number of hyped trends rise into great prominence only to fade into obscurity. I have, for example, lived through quite a number of them from how sequencing the human genome in late 1990s and early 2000s was “guaranteed” to revolutionize medicine (it had almost zero effect) to how proteomics and genomics was going to change drug discovery forever (once again, they had almost zero effect). I also remember how new anti-cancer drugs such as novel kinase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies were going to make most cancers curable or increase overall survival, which with few exceptions such as melanoma- they have not. New computational techniques were supposed to revolutionize drug discovery since the mid 1990s- while at best, they have helped streamline the overall process a bit. My point is that not a single hyped trend I have come across in the entirety of my life has ever delivered anything close to what was confidently promised by “famous credentialed experts” aka charlatans.
with the AI announcements that have come out today (3/14), it seems like a lot of white collar (bullshit) jobs which you shit on so much in the past are about to be eviscerated in a decade or two.
I'm surprised you're not seeing how much can be changed.
I'm going to need to rethink my career path completely.
