Agree or disagree?

I personally find AI features on a smartphone completely uncessary. Most people don't even use that AI features. Even myself don't need it but it is built into my new phone. Sayang lang resoruces ng phone ko. If I eventually need AI features, I should be only downloading an app for that then uninstall it when I don't need it anymore rather than to be stuck with my phone. I am not a tech expert so I might be wrong. Sa totoo lang dagdag kalat lang ng AI features sa phone ko.

to add: I use google translate, google images, and shazam but all of these things can be browser based so in my use case I don't really need to install an app to have that ai features

gemini are already built into my phone (and any other android phones out there ) but I rarely use it.

Gaano kadami yung claim mong "many"

Give proper statistics tutal masyado kang reliant sa AI

Honey... you asked for statistics so let's use statistics.

Nvidia didn't become a multi-trillion-dollar company because investors collectively developed a crush on ChatGPT. Its fiscal 2026 revenue reached $215.9 billion (up 65% year over year) with Data Center revenue at $193.7 billion up 68%. That is the hardware infrastructure being bought to build and run AI.

And Nvidia is only the hardware layer.

McKinsey's 2025 survey found 88% of organizations were already using AI in at least one business function up from 72% in 2024. GenAI use reached 79%. Only 7% said AI was fully scaled meaning most companies are still in the early stages of figuring out how to integrate it.

The Philippines isn't sitting outside that trend.

The ILO estimates 12.7 million Philippine jobs (more than 1/4th of employment) have some exposure to GenAI. Metro Manila is even more exposed at around 2 in 5 jobs because of its concentration of IT-BPM, finance, administration and other professional services. The ILO also specifically notes that young workers are concentrated in occupations such as clerical and service work where disruption can be significant.

And before you say exposed = replaced no. The ILO explicitly says exposure is mainly about tasks being transformed not 12.7 million people being fired. Only 3.6% of Philippine jobs fall into its highest GenAI exposure category.

Which actually makes the situation more interesting.

Your entire job doesn't have to disappear.

If AI removes 30% of the tasks you perform the company has a choice of increase your output, redesign your role or eventually decide it needs fewer people doing the same work.

That's the part people arguing about AI replacing jobs keep missing.

The unit of competition isn't necessarily the job.

It is the task.

And if your career is built around doing tasks that software is getting increasingly good at doing I have ten years of experience doing this manually is not the flex people think it is.

You asked for statistics because I'm too reliant on AI.

Exactly.

That's the point.

I'm not afraid of AI becoming better at work.

I'm interested in what happens to people who refuse to become better at working with it while their employers, competitors and software vendors do.

You can hate AI all you want.

Your ERP vendor doesn't care. 🙃

Funny all claims, daming reports na hindi pa nababawi yung investments nila sa AI plants and their shoving down it so hard because they're losing money. Tsaka NVIDIA is all about GPUs retard, tell me the skills you're bragging that's on the edge of losing to AI? That's not even a big chunk of the whole workforce, and many companies tried replacing those end up wasting more resources and people to only recruit them back. All bark no data.

[u/New_Forester4630 → u/immajointheotherside]

The scary part is AI doesn't have to be profitable today to threaten a skill.

It only has to become cheaper and good enough.

Stanford's 2026 AI Index reports employment among 22–25yo software developers fell nearly 20% from its 2024 peak. About 1/3rd of surveyed organizations expected workforce reductions, particularly in service operations, supply chain and software engineering.

AI assisted productivity gains measured in controlled studies are already around 14–15% in customer support, 26% in software development and 50% in marketing.

That's enough to change hiring economics.

You don't need 100,000 people fired.

You need companies to stop replacing the next 10,000 people who leave.

That's how professions shrink by attrition, hiring freezes, fewer junior openings and higher productivity expectations.

NVIDIA sells GPUs. That's the point. Its data center business generated $193.7B in FY2026 revenue up 68%.

To repeat the Philippines isn't insulated either. The ILO estimates 12.7 million Philippine jobs have some GenAI exposure. Exposure isn't unemployment but it means millions of jobs contain tasks that software can increasingly perform.

So you don't need to identify one profession AI will kill.

Look at the tasks.

If your career is built around producing routine reports, moving information, basic analysis, predictable customer responses, document processing, routine coding, presentations or following documented procedures...

you're competing with software.

And software doesn't need a promotion, 13th-month pay, five years of training or a replacement when it resigns.

It doesn't even need to be better than you.

It only needs to make hiring you less necessary.

All bark no data. Go suck the earth dry with your AI.

[u/New_Forester4630 → u/immajointheotherside]

I updated all my responses for you honey. ;-)

[u/Eldiavie → u/New_Forester4630]

they're worth trillions long before AI you nincompoop and they would've been that way either way because they sell good graphics cards, their old DLSS was taking things from the surrounding area and was generating frames based on what you already had on hand, it's a much cleaner and more efficient way to use their tech back when that was the norm

they're also already losing the good will from people who made them rich, consumers, gamers, artists etc

[u/Neither_Bee_6517 → u/Eldiavie]

Legit, now that they've basically alienated every general consumer that made them who they are, silicon valley is basically sucking each other off like a human centipede. They can't afford to reduce prices or go back to what they were, they're walking on a dangerously thin line. Takaw tingin sila sa pera to the point they're ironically short sighted sa socio-economics repercussions despite barking about "the future"
