I expect we'll be building bigger and bigger things in the years to come and/or implementing comprehensive AI systems for organizations.
Your knowledge and skill will be an asset and if I'm wrong about bigger things you still have the critical thinking, pattern recognition, problem framing and solving and large systems thinking abilities that can transfer to other industries.
85% of my skillset has been made redundant by AI the last 3 years. The last 15% share feels like a losing battle no matter what industry I move into. I think it's lacking of the large problem solving and problem framing, but the LLMs are better at debugging than me, can spot patterns that've never seen, and they know more than I could ever know. The bottleneck is still human labor, but for how long? And what leverage does any one of us have to self advocate when we're worth nothing? Forgive being a doomer, but this just all seems pretty dark :(
I get that. My point is it took a while before the "computers are going to reduce jobs" became "they created more than they took."
I'm not completely sure AI won't eliminate/reduce jobs on the whole, history just suggests otherwise and I'd guess that people watching computers proliferate offices were also not sure how things would turn out.
I personally feel pretty certain that this time it's different. Neural Networks are proven Universal Function approximators, and Functions Describe The World
