Is the current AI situation impacting your future decisions?


My wife and I are debating whether or not having a second kid. Why? We are in a financial good position right now. However, the current displacement of white-collar jobs may impact this position, and if it does, it will only get worse and worse for at least some years.

So, this made me wonder, is the current AI landscape impacting your future decisions like having kids, moving to another place, leaving your current job, etc?

No, genAI hasn't impacted any decisionmaking on my part. It's far too soon to know what, if any, adjustments need to be made because of it. In my opinion, there are much larger and more immediate societal, economic, and governmental issues that have to be accounted for than genAI.

Not a big (or personal) issue, but it's made me less keen on pursuing a blog site where I review virtual offices: https://officeshuffle.com
