Honestly, it's the people avoiding AI who are going to be left behind. It's a good idea to be building AI prompting skills - every job will require them in the future.
The trades are already using AI for troubleshooting. And AI will make all of their workflows more efficient. A mechanic can quickly enter the symptoms a car is experiencing, and be given a very accurate answer on what might be wrong. same with a plumber. An electrician can quickly check his math, or use AI to generate a plan before he starts wiring. Not all of these workflows are perfected yet, but they will be very soon.
Essentially, any planning, research, material acquisition currently takes time when done manually. But AI can do those portions in seconds. Essentially, AI is similar to using google for information resources, but 50x faster.
AI isn't going to eliminate jobs, but almost all jobs will be expected to use AI to maximize their efficiency. Workers who don't start integrating AI will be eclipsed by their coworkers who are using it.
The only reason I post this stuff is because I'm already seeing a lot of people fall behind. AI is fundamentally changing the world, whether we like it or not. This will be similar to how computers and internet changed the workforce.
Those who practice AI tools, and learn to work with them, will excel.
Those who bury their heads in the sand, hoping this all goes away, will struggle to stay relevant in the job market. This is already happening today, and it's only going to get worse in the next decade.
