Like for example, how someone thinks because you work in IT you can fix their TV, or how if you’re into music you must be able to play any random instrument.

I just like hearing pros rant about about their very niche problems.

    No, AI won’t replace you today.
    AI is the worst it will ever be today.

    It might replace you in the future, but I can’t tell you how far from now that future is.

    No I don’t know when we’ll be doing commercial space travel.

    No I can’t fix your printer.

      Conversely, I work in IT Support and I get asked programming questions far too often… even to the point where I’m asked to fix applications despite not being a dev.

      Then again, I basically have to deal with anything that’s got a plug on the end. I guess code falls into that category in some peoples’ heads.
