I still think that all jobs are, in general, safe for the foreseeable future. But we will be expected to use AI tools and just produce more and more, so that a few people will gain more and more resources and power.

E.g. as engineers we will do less and less actual planning, but we will run AIs like it were a team of engineer slaves.

And I think this will be similar for other branches. A music composer will run AIs to compose parts of a song, adjust it, readjust other parts, till the song is good. I mean, afaik this is already how much of it works.

I believe that a few jobs will be hard hit. Things like first level phone customer support or service are probably going to be decimated, keeping humans for 2nd or 3rd level.

A similar thing happened with the irruption of the PC. In a few short years, the majority of professional typist jobs disappeared.

Entry level at most jobs will be hit. If you basically exist to do grunt work that somebody else assigns and will “approve” before going out, AI may replace you. I would not want to be a junior marketing communications person.

AI has sucked for years and that didn’t stop companies from trying to replace customer service with AI.
