I expect the erasure of the long tail of White Collar jobs in the next 3 years thanks to machine learning.
Moving to digital, something humans' been doing for the past 30+ years ended up providing a corpus from copywriting to CAD that will result in the redundancy of the less senior positions: the long tail.
As a senior programmer, being forced to interact with average programmers, I don't mind this. Interaction with rudimentary implementations like ChatGPT is already a more pleasant experience than interacting with the human long tail of my profession.
I won't be alone. Professions may vary (lawyers will hold out the longest, thanks to their institutional entrenchment and power), but I'm not alone.
If you're a White Collar worker and prompting ChatGTP is a more pleasant and more productive experience than asking you: you're in the long tail. You have 3 years left at best.
Congrats on Episode #1 and many more!
