Will AI Replace Us?

The hype around AI has been ongoing for several years. From every teapot, you hear: "Shock! AI will replace us," "Top professions that will vanish," "Google/Microsoft/add-what's-needed is laying off its employees."

Is the situation really like that?

There will be no expert conclusions or statistics here. There will be personal reflections, which, of course, may be wrong. So, whether to trust me or not is up to you.

I am old enough (lol) to remember the identical hype and phrases surrounding PCs and the internet. It was the same back then: "People are no longer needed; the PC does everything," "Libraries are not needed; everything is on the Internet." But it didn't turn out as predicted.

With the emergence and active development of a new (not really) technology that is actively entering mainstream consumer use, the same scenario begins—hysteria about job loss and human replacement. These stories are especially amplified by people far from understanding the technology itself.

Let's get to the heart of the matter. I am actually building all those AIs that are supposed to replace people, and I understand the vulnerabilities and imperfections of the system better than anyone. Even good pipelines, even complex systems, are not capable of the full thinking process characteristic of a human. A person combines knowledge, their experience, and emotions for a final decision, whereas AI uses patterns and is quite limited.

The human brain is far more complex than any LLM model. Why even talk about it when it was the human mind that created them?

Any AI is a great tool for improving human productivity, and the key point is that it is human-controlled. Will AI replace managers or consultants? No, but it can significantly offload their work and provide initial data processing.

Therefore, my opinion is: no, it won't replace us.

And as they say: if you can't stop the chaos—lead it.
