Note: These bots cannot, and likely will not, ba able to handle escalation items appropriately. There is a skill pipeline from junior tech to higher tiers and we're going to see an aging skill demographic evaporate into thin air with no one to train the new bots on how to handle a constantly evolving tech base.

these companies are just hoping to have a few senior level or experience programmers to fix the issues, of the ai or outsourced workers.

That's still tens of thousands of jobs that will retire without a train-to-replace pipeline. And escalation, by design, is not formulaic enough to be handled by AI. It exclusively includes all tickets outside the normal troubleshooting and maintenance standard.

We'll see an aging escalation base untill the pressure forces a few into retirement, which adds to other pressure and snowballs until we have an entire nation of Tier 1 chatbots and overseas Pakistani call center escalation reps.

Sure, but that's a problem for the next CEO.

All the companies that don't invest in junior developers are going to have a major issue once their senior developers retire.

they are, but they arnt going to stop listing "senior developers only" job listings. they will simply wait it out til they find one, or they can sell the company down the road, rinse and repeat.

In the early 1900s there were unemployed councils, it might be time for unemployed/underemployed grads to start thinking about organizing themselves into similar organizations.

if it wasnt a problem before AI came on the board , it was deficient at least for CS people. the prime time to get hired was 2014ish-2020. thats why there was o many disastified reviews of universities during midpandemic of fresh graduates.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
