"Shumer said that the reason people in tech "are sounding the alarm" is that they have already experienced what's coming for everyone else. "We're not making predictions," he wrote. "We're telling you what already occurred in our own jobs, and warning you that you're next." Shumer said that many people outside tech wrote off AI years ago after a clunky experience with an early edition of ChatGPT. "The models available today are unrecognizable from what existed even six months ago," he wrote."
"As of Wednesday morning, Shumer's post had 40 million views and 18,000 retweets. It's never a good sign when a CEO warns something more disruptive than COVID is heading our way. In an essay titled "Something Big Is Happening," Hyperwrite CEO Matt Shumer said AI can now do all of his technical work - and he thinks your job could be next."
AI capabilities have advanced to the point that AI can now perform technical work previously done by engineers and senior technical leaders. Tech workers report that AI already replaced tasks in their jobs, signaling imminent broader disruption across industries. Models have improved dramatically in months, overcoming earlier clunky performance. Many non-technical people underestimated current AI after early experiences. A brief window exists for workers to learn AI tools and adapt skills. Proactive learning and adoption can protect careers and leverage productivity gains. Widespread AI adoption could reshape employment patterns and societal functions, potentially exceeding COVID-19's disruptive impact.
