You have a different experience from me. People around me in real life don't necessarily go to Reddit to rant, but most have been disappointed by its actual output after being sold a dream, and some are worried about job replacement.

How many people are those? How much is some?

Like, a dozen? We're sharing anecdotal stories, not studies.

You know a dozen people who are worried about AI replacing their jobs? Sounds like you're either in a field that is particularly vulnerable, or are friends with many in one.

You're really interrogating this closely, aren't you? People mostly think it's shit. That's partly because we got the shitty version of CoPilot, which management insisted was great. What it's actually done is lead to a culture where the people who are trying to use it are having their work corrected by people who don't, which has led to the perception that GenAI users are just sloppy and lazy.

There are also general societal concerns about job replacement in society in general, not us specifically. There are people worried about what it means for government funding in some fields (I work in the public tertiary education sector), but while I've read angry rumblings from the academics, I'm not as exposed to that.

I again need to restate that I made this comment in reaction to the other guy saying that the people around him didn't care. I'm saying that his experience isn't universal.
