I remain a stubborn AI skeptic. However, I can't help compare with programming: no one can use assembler anymore. I used C++ most of my career, but even that is a relatively rare skill now. The bar lifts: entry level jobs will still exist, but at a higher level.
Replying to @Kiiiiira777
Someone answer me this - if within 5 years we lose all those entry level jobs, then how are we going to have any experts with senior level experience in these fields in 10 years from now?

Trump, Musk and their billionaire friends are spending huge amounts lying about Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and Angie Nixon in Florida. Why? Because they have no agenda to help working people. So they resort to Islamophobia, red-baiting and fear-mongering. NOT GONNA WORK

Lucious Malfoy actor Jason Isaacs refused to join in the celebrity pile-on of JK Rowling: "She has her view, and I have mine," Isaacs said. "They differ on many levels. But one thing people should also know about her, and I'm not saying it as a counter-argument, is that through her charity Lumos she has given a huge part of her fortune to making the world better for hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children. And that is unquestionably a good thing. Many of us Harry Potter actors have worked with it and seen the work she does up close." Is it brave to stand up for someone and say something nice about them when there's social pressure to attack them?
