Yeah I agree with dakiol. I think a fair alternative viewpoint I also considered is: Everything high skill is becoming low skill. Low skill jobs at equilibrium pay low, keep you busy with mundane work, and consequently fucking suck to most people. Uber is amazing but being an Uber driver is not imo. Taking out any related talks on self-driving rn, if AI evolved the way ridesharing did up to now, I almost can't help but entertain the perspective that we'd become the operators of these complex systems and have to deal with consumer blame, lack of management trust, etc. the way I've heard most ridesharing drivers deal with.

That being said, I don't think AI will become "smarter" than humans in knowing what we don't know which is especially important when it comes to execution of ideas, so there is always gonna be "high-skilled" labor that can't be easily automated when it comes to being creative and innovating.

As someone working in FAANG seeing how incredibly low-labor the SWE work is though, it's hard not to see this still as a golden era that will be looked back on in decades.
