So many off base opinions in here. AI is absolutely a threat to the workforce, especially for those early in their careers. The white collar workforce is being disrupted in a way that blue collar manufacturing was 40 years ago. Like yes, there are still manufacturing jobs, but not at the same scale. You’re burying your head in the sand if you think workforces will continue to operate at the same scale. Yes, new roles and skills will come from this, but not enough to accommodate everyone who would have otherwise been hired. Instead of having 10 entry level coders, you’ll have one highly talented entry level engineer being the first line manager of 10 agents, 90% fewer bodies hired even tho there was a new line of work created. This is happening in finance, consulting, marketing (especially content, design, and copy writing), accounting, IT, HR/recruiting. And we’ve already been in a student debt crisis for 20+ years with costs continuing to rise. Like yes, AI is a problem...everyone can't ben carpenters, mechanics, and plumbers, especially when fewer people can afford the goods that need maintenance (as it's already hard to get commercial/union roles)
