So yeah, 10 years.
Correct.
80% of applications for AI that I have seen and the other 20% are not a different category.
They're just in flux.
But 80% I've seen, it's not about where we have the work shortage.
It's about white collar workers.
It's about making white collar workers either redundant or more productive.
And if you're into some degree of data collation and assessment, you're in real trouble.
If you have the brainpower to take the data in front of you and make something of it, you're probably fine, at least for now.
So right now, if you're like, say, a paralegal, oh, God, you're screwed.
That whole job category is going to go away.
Because your job is basically to research multiple cases and bring the information together for someone who will then take it and do value add.
Your job is to collate.
And AI can do that in seconds.
Once you start doing the value add, the way my doctor put it, it's kind of like 80-20.
It's like 80% of it's pretty good and 20% of it is really not.
And when you're prescribing medications, the 20% really matters.
So...
Doctors are fine, but the people who do the research for them, maybe not so much.
That's not where the job shortages are.
