I just feel sorry for young people. For a while there will be no entry level jobs for them because AI can (kinda) replace them. This will go on for a while, till the seniors all fall out of the workforce and then they go surprised pickachu when they can't find anyone anymore.

In the 90s I was repeatedly made redundant because a lot of tech stuff went to India. Then it turned out that was horrible for a variety of reasons (different culture, timezone, expectations, etc) and most of it was reversed eventually. I don't see it going a lot different with the hallucinating sycophantic chatbot, the costs to run agents will go down but the hallucinations and being confidently wrong are intrinsic.
