It will be interesting to see how generative AI affects the job market in the long term and how people adapt to the changes as it gains broad adoption.

Sure will, Kevin. It sure will.

If everyone is replacing low level jobs with AI in order to pump next quarters numbers, they are gonna be fucked in 5-10 years when there is a skilled labour shortage - those very skills learned and developed while doing the lower level jobs.

This is a gargantuan gamble on AI being able to progressively replace more an more complicated jobs, and stay in line with this curve as the skill ages out of the population.

Oh, and nobody will be able to pay for the services provided by these companies because nobody will have money because they can't get jobs because all the low skill jobs are done by AI, and nobody can develop skills because there is no entry to industries/careers via low skilled jobs.

Replacing jobs with AI is so fucking stupid.
