  1. Imagine you were a veteran factory worker and over the years there were many tools introduced to speed up the assembly line. Then one day you saw the first robotic arm. If you were paying attention you would have realized there was a change of INTENT. Previous tool upgrades were made to AID you, this one was to REPLACE you. It would still be a hundred years before the last human worker leaves the floor but the change in INTENT is clear. Programmers are ok for now - but artists are up a creek without a paddle with generative ai - just like translators lost their careers over the past 5 years as Google Translate slowly improved year by year. Remember, you don't have to fire all programmers to have a ruined career - all that is needed is that the supply needs to solidly outstrip demand and suddenly the average salary drops from 100k to 40k and every second programmer is on skid row. Programming is still the best option but keep your expenses low and your savings high.
