How can we grow with AI in career?
Discussion

Many posts on LinkedIn always talks about things like "AI won't replace your jobs. People who use AI will" or "You need to adapt". But those words are actually very vague. Suppose someone has been doing frontend engineer for several decades, how is this person supposed to adapt suddenly and become AI engineer? And also not every engineer can become AI engineers. Some of them, and I think it is the same for many people, will somehow change career too. What's your thoughts on personal growth with AI?

Something like this , basically AI vibe codes applications in the coming years will become the norm and fewer and fewer swe will be kept around to clean up hallucinated AI slop and maybe customize certain apps that AI can't handle (think legacy As/400 that has minimal and proprietary code that AI has no training data on)...

But all that translates into lot fewer a software devs making decent money... Right now there's about 1.6m software devs in the US )in all roles and functions) , I can see that number going down to 1m in a decade ..the average salary is $133k/year, those that remain will likely see an increase in pay... But far far fewer openings. The golden age of the SWE as a high paying career is over SWE career 1970-2020 RIP 🪦

It's really hard to predict. Alternatively, there might be so much code that the number of SWEs needed to clean it up might increase.

It's not the first technology that claims to replace developers. Previous attempts include COBOL, SQL, Prolog, LISP, Visual Basic, 4th Generation Languages, NoCode, LowCode, etc. So far, each of these technologies has either vanished or contributed to redefine the job while increasing the demand.

So... I guess we'll see.

We will see, but this time it's different, because regular people (non technical) are already using these AI tools and getting decent results, building apps , analyzing data, excel macros etc... so if your average person can build a working app as long as they can describe the functionality in detail ,there's no reason you need a specialist...that's why I think this is fundamentally different than just a newer language.

Quite a few large companies are already jumping into the AI abyss, laying off very significant percentages of their staff to make shareholder reports look good. The resulting work from these AI bots won't be great, but who cares... they'll just squeeze the remaining staff to churn more work, under the threat that they're next.

It will happen unfortunately, and governments really need to be proactive on this one in the next few years.

Reality is, nobody knows. But that's the nature of the future, and when you mix in something as potent as AI, go figure. And I feel like a lot of what people are feeling is a loss of agency, and that loss of agency is going to dump them on the wrong side of a growing economic divide.

I'd say probably the best bet is any type of creativity or problem discovery. Not 100% convinced problem solving is that strong of a skill. Go to any company and you'll find teams of engineers who make incredibly cool solutions to problems, but finding someone who can uniquely touch on the human element is tough.

The more defensible skills feel like they'll be uniquely human traits because right now, AI is only using historical data to make it's predictions and as far as I know, isn't 'thinking creatively' to be more forward thinking, and people are weird.

Humans have very strange and cool reactions to certain things that are not entirely predictable, and I don't think that's going away.

Will AI come for the human element? I think it'll try. Will it do it better than humans can? Not sure. If it can't solve it and only get some % the way there, then a human will still need to be in the loop.

Growing with AI in your career means building on your existing strengths-like UI/UX, problem-solving, or domain expertise-and learning how to integrate or collaborate with AI systems, rather than trying to become a pure AI engineer overnight. Not everyone needs to switch roles; instead, adapting means upskilling for AI-powered workflows, creating user-centric AI interfaces, or specializing in areas where human skills and AI complement each other

I don’t know how to program front end. I do have programming skills, but not in front end languages, also not in the typical back end. 

using LLMs I can generate template front end code, understand it, and deploy.

So specialise, be the best in what you can do.

Think of AI as an accelerator. Pair every human with an AI and the human and the AI are a force multiplier.

Humans not performing manual labor are focused on directing the AI, and having knowledge enough to question AI decisions to guide it back on track.

Right now there are very few “interfaces” that clearly funnel the use of LLMs (they are integrated like in ms word or they are very general like an image generator). This means there are not widely available LLMs catered specifically for a Customer Service Representative.

The people who learn how to prompt their AI to accelerate them will take that job ad a customer service representative over someone who is exactly the same as them without AI.

Now someone who has great communication skills, has strong general education, etc. is going to win everything with an AI accelerating them.

And when one person can handle more work, less people are needed.

This is now and the near future. Don’t worry about all jobs being wiped - worry about dragging your feet on using AI to improve every aspect of your life through learning.

The problem with human workers who have equal knowledge are soft skills and decision making (confidence).

The problem with human buyers (in this case hirers) is implicit bias.

The only thing AI can’t do is influence a buyer to choose a hunchback with a community college degree over an Adonis with an Ivy League degree - even though they have the exact same capabilities.

AI in the hands of someone with all the chips in their favor is a golden ticket.

AI in the hands of someone with a disadvantage is an equalizer.

In either scenario it is an accelerator. The loser is the one who does not learn to leverage it to meet their ends.

We should all be acting like Tony Stark with Jarvis using our preferred LLM and operator and integrating it into everything we do to accelerate us.

If you have trouble conversing, talk to a model even though it feels uncomfortable.

If you lack structure and institutional knowledge in your thinking, talk to a model.

If you have 10 things to do today, share it with a model and align it with your personal development goals - it will not only help you effectively accomplish your tasks but help you attache meaning to your actions that contribute to your overall development.

You would be surprised how hard it is to actually use AI effectively in business use cases, or really any deliverable use-case. Most people are not going to know how to work with AI, you have to learn how, and I honestly think that takes more intellectual curiosity than most people want to invest.

From a doomer perspective, we are couple of years away from replacing a current 100 software engineers company with 10.

From a optimist one, AI is going to create so many new way of doing things, every industry will need AI engineers, technicians.

The real panic will begin when AI robots will take over jobs like cooking,cleaning,agriculture or other laborious work, I'm not sure how far we are from these sort of robots breakthrough. Nobody expected chatgpt or other stuffs to be this good by this year. I mean text is the easiest stuff to manuplate for computers but AI graphics stuffs is gaining serious traction too these days.

It doesn’t need to lessen the disparity.

It just needs for the poor to be richer than they were before.

AI is no different than any other tool. It’s utility is dictated by the user. The person’s creativity determines their success.

We know most people aren’t creative. They’re reactive.

So when we say people who use/have AI bots will lead. We mean the people sophisticated enough to know how to prompt.

Meaning they can think critically and creatively WITHOUT the tool. It’s a skill one can train so that’s a plus. However that person must know they need to train it first

The Reddit discussion in r/ArtificialInteligence explores how individuals can grow their careers alongside AI advancements. Contributors largely agree that vague advice like "adapt or be replaced" lacks practical guidance, especially for seasoned professionals in specialized roles such as frontend development, who cannot simply become AI engineers overnight.

Key points raised include:

- AI is expected to significantly reduce demand for software developers by automating many tasks, potentially shrinking the workforce and lowering job openings, though salaries for remaining specialists may rise.
- Unlike past technologies, AI tools are accessible to non-technical users, enabling them to build apps or perform tasks that traditionally required specialists, making this shift more disruptive.
- Some users argue AI will serve as a force multiplier—people who learn to effectively use AI to augment their work (e.g., through prompting or integrating AI into workflows) will have a competitive advantage.
- Others emphasize that uniquely human traits—creativity, problem discovery, interpersonal skills, and nuanced decision-making—will remain valuable as AI lacks true forward-thinking creativity.
- Upskilling within one’s domain to collaborate with or utilize AI (rather than switching careers completely) is recommended, such as frontend developers learning to leverage AI-generated code or AI-accelerated workflows.
- Concerns about economic impacts include increased income disparity, job displacement in various sectors, and corporate cost-cutting using AI, suggesting the need for proactive government policies.
- For new graduates and early-career professionals, focus is advised on core skills, critical thinking, and integrating AI tools into their existing knowledge base rather than pursuing AI engineering exclusively.
- Training and teaching about AI usage are emerging roles, though market saturation may reduce their long-term value.
- Overall, success in an AI-driven career landscape will depend on the ability to creatively and critically use AI tools as accelerators rather than replacements.

In summary, the conversation portrays AI as a transformative but challenging force in careers, underscoring the importance of adaptation through upskilling, creativity, and effective human-AI collaboration rather than outright role changes.

The Reddit discussion centers on how individuals can grow their careers alongside AI developments. Participants agree that while AI tools are transforming job roles, claims like "AI won't replace jobs, people who use AI will" are vague and not always practical, especially for experienced professionals entrenched in non-AI fields.

Key points from the conversation include:

- AI is expected to automate many routine tasks in software development and beyond, reducing the number of traditional roles (e.g., fewer software engineers needed).
- Unlike past technological shifts, AI is more accessible to non-specialists, enabling average users to build apps or analyze data, which could further reduce specialist demand.
- Some argue AI will multiply human productivity, creating opportunities for those who effectively integrate AI into their workflows, especially those with strong soft skills (communication, creativity, decision-making).
- Others highlight concerns about significant job losses, increased income inequality, and the challenge for many workers to upskill or pivot careers.
- Recommended strategies include upskilling within one’s domain by learning to collaborate with AI tools, focusing on creativity and critical thinking, and emphasizing uniquely human traits that AI can’t fully replicate.
- For new graduates and less-experienced professionals, advice is to focus on core skills, adaptable learning, and integrating AI to enhance productivity rather than fully switching to AI-specific roles.
- The conversation acknowledges uncertainty about AI's full impact but stresses proactive learning and adaptation to survive and thrive.

Overall, the discussion reflects mixed optimism and concern, underscoring the need for individuals and institutions to embrace AI as a tool for augmentation while preparing for workforce shifts.

Netflix is joining its streaming rivals in testing the amount and types of advertisements its subscribers are willing to endure for lower prices.

Today, at its second annual upfront to advertisers, the streaming leader announced that it has created interactive mid-roll ads and pause ads that incorporate generative AI. Subscribers can expect to start seeing the new types of ads in 2026, Media Play News reported.

“[Netflix] members pay as much attention to midroll ads as they do to the shows and movies themselves,” Amy Reinhard, president of advertising at Netflix, said, according to the publication.

Netflix started testing pause ads in July 2024, per The Verge.

Netflix launched its ad subscription tier in November 2022. Today, it said that the tier has 94 million subscribers, compared to the 300 million total subscribers it claimed in January. The current number of ad subscribers represents a 34 percent increase from November. Half of new Netflix subscribers opt for the $8 per month option rather than ad-free subscriptions, which start at $18 per month, the company says.

Speaking to advertisers, Reinhard claimed that ad subscribers spend 41 hours per month on Netflix on average.

The new ad formats follow Netflix's launch of its own in-house advertising platform in the US in April. It had previously debuted the platform in Canada and plans to expand it globally by June, per The Verge.

Netflix considers its advertising business to be in its early stages, meaning customers can expect the firm's ad efforts to continue expanding at a faster rate over the coming years. The company plans to double its advertising revenue in 2025.

“The foundations of our ads business are in place, and going forward, the pace of progress will be even faster,” Reinhard said today.

Netflix subscribers join virtually all mainstream streaming customers in facing growing ad efforts. This week, Amazon announced contextual pause ads and shoppable ads for Prime Video this year. Web-based TV viewers are also seeing new-age advertising efforts, such as LG TV's webOS software, to integrate ads that are said to analyze viewer emotions.

Netflix plans to introduce generative AI-powered interactive mid-roll and pause ads starting in 2026 as part of efforts to rapidly grow its advertising revenue. The company announced these new ad formats at its second annual advertiser upfront, highlighting that subscribers pay as much attention to ads as to the content itself. Netflix’s ad-supported subscription tier, launched in November 2022, has grown to 94 million subscribers, representing 34% growth since then. Half of Netflix’s new subscribers now choose the lower-cost, ad-supported $8/month plan over the ad-free tier, which starts at $18/month. Netflix recently launched its own in-house advertising platform in the US, following its Canadian debut, with plans for global expansion by June 2025. The company aims to double its ad revenue in 2025 and views its advertising business as still in early stages, expecting faster growth going forward. This move aligns Netflix with other streaming services and web-based TV platforms that are increasing ad innovation, including Amazon’s new contextual and shoppable ads on Prime Video.
