>I’m bringing this up because, in the workplace, AI models have the potential to deliver both things. And that should terrify you.
Calm down!
Things that should terrify you:
- bioweapons
- nuclear war
- the collapse of society
- a civilization ending solar flare
- a comet striking earth
- a mega volcano
Gyrations in the job market are worrying, especially for young people, but they should not terrify you.

Eh, this totally depends on magnitude.
Great depression level 'gyrations' leads to mass unemployment, social unrest, starvation, and war.

Much like democracy being ill-suited to combat climate change, capitalism seems ill-suited to deal with a long-horizon problem like this. It doesn't matter if you will be unable to find workers in a decade or two when your KPI is headcount reduction and it's evaluated quarterly, or when your bonus as an executive depends on the stock price over a given year.
One of the only arguments that hit for me against AI art was exactly this one. How will we get skilled human artists to handle the 20% of use cases AI art may not be suitable for when they never had the chance to hone their skills by working on the 80%?
