10 IT jobs that will quickly be replaced by ChatGPT.
I’ve been in IT since 83. I’m sick of IT, sick of IT people and extremely tired of users. I’m going to retire soon and plan on never touching this crap again.
They later told me they came close to hiring me simply because my answer was Captain Pike. LOL
As someone who has done a fair amount of testing over years, not software testing, but network and data traffic testing, engineers are often times bad at testing these things.
Software engineers often are terrible at software testing, things that seem elementary or obvious to them are often times lost on the end user.
Get Edward Snowden an H-1B visa and a pardon.
I started in 1981, so I’m right there with you. I hated when someone would ask, since you’re in IT can you fix my laptop or desktop computer.
My wife and I own a vacation condo, I was asked one time about the feasibility of installing wifi over the entire complex so we could all have internet everywhere and jointly pay for the service.
I replied not only NO, but HELL NO I do not want to be involved with any aspect of that.
They want rocket-scientist capability and 24/7 availability at cleaning staff wages.
The industry has been regressing since the mid-2000s. It's odd to talk to support staff and realize they're learning tripping on problems that were resolved two decades ago.
Some of the newer languages like Python…
looks like my rates are going up...
“10 IT jobs that will quickly be replaced by ChatGPT.”
Far from it.
of course, they usually publish these stories in the weeks before a new H-1b visa bill so they can push for more foreigners to take American jobs
They should offer scholarships and apprenticeships to recruit and train the workers that they need.
OMG, I HATE wireless with as much passion as I do liberals and the LA. Lakers.
the whining about wireless is almost constant. I miss the days of just being a board swapper to fix problems.
> Far from it.
Right on, CodeToad. Using ChatGPT to do IT??? LOL!!
Do you want Idiocracy? Because that is how you get Idiocracy.
(Disclaimer: Been doing IT/engineering since 1975. I know.)
I’m an end user administrator. It’s amazing what we can do to try and break the system or get around security.
What’s more is that about 50% of these can be prevented/solved with good technical instructions.
I wish they added technical writers to this list.
Bkmrk
You and I are in the same boat. Been doing this a long time, and although I like what I do, I am done with hand holding people who claim to be engineers, lawyers, and well educated people who can’t remember their passwords or add paper to a printer.
It has become pathetic.
One can’t even find a decent hardware technician these days. People are so accustomed to purchasing a new computer off the rack when their current one breaks down that hardware technicians aren’t considered a priority anymore. That saddens me cuz I love working on PCs.
Good luck with an AI figuring all that out. The wetware can barely hang on.
The biggest threat to my job is getting the boot for telling those Large And In Charge that all their buzzword-rich happy-crap goes nowhere.
