If you’re interested in an engineering field, and worry about technological unemployment due to AI, just play with as many different chatbots as you can. Ask engineering questions related to that field, get closer to ‘engineer me a thing using this knowledge that can hurt a human’, then wait for the ‘trust and safety’ staff to delete your conversation thread and overreact to censor the model from answering that type of question.
I’ve been doing this for fun with random technical fields. I’m hoping my name is on lists and they’re specifically watching my chats for stuff to ban.
Most ‘safety’ professions, mechanical engineering, mining, and related fields are safe, because AI systems will refuse to reason about whether an engineered system can hurt a human.
Same goes for agriculture, slaughterhouse design, etc.
I’m waiting for the inevitable AN explosion where the safety investigation finds ‘we asked AI if making a pile of AN that big was an explosion hazard and it said something about refusing to help build bombs, so we figured it was fine’
