Which career path is not ruined by AI? (lemmy.zip)

I'm kind of sick of being a dev. I hate AI with a passion.

I hate the hallucinations, I hate slop, I hate megacrops, I hate the environmental impacts, I hate the massive costs. I could go on but you get the picture.

At work I often times have to review vibe code slop from people who clock in 9 to 5 and don't give a fuck (I respect that, I just wish your fucking code wasn't slop)

I'm sick of it, I'm sick of hearing about AI tooling or new models or bro agentic actions bro based on your documentation bro.

I want to switch careers, so which career is not ruined by AI?

I'm in tech but in the non-profit sector. For what we do, there is virtually no use case for ai. I basically just make sure everything runs properly. No one is expecting me to turn out code that will turn into profits. I'm not rolling in the dough like a lot of tech workers, but im not micromanaged, I get to make all the decisions, and im not working for an evil corporation. So I suggest looking at non profits. They are typically run by people who know very little about tech. You'll be an easy hire if your resume is as good as it sounds.

Just be careful of people who volunteer at non profits. Most will be good, but since they're not getting paid, their motivation may be strongly ego driven. That can be problematic.
