Then figure out how to use AI to do something else that is easier and pays better. The times won't wait for you, as they didn't for sellers of buggy whips.

My own job seems to be on the line, too. Chatgpt can answer complex questions about my workfield with decent enough answers that if clients asked them to chatgpt instead of me, the differences are small enough to not matter. Luckily for me, most do not know what the right questions are to ask.

On the flip side? Imagine that you can now start to create things in a CAD program that you tell what to make in your own voice, not an arcane set of codes or even having to be able to draw. Then, get the AI aided/verified design 3D printed, and you have a prototype. The same goes for a modular printboard/micro computer design and the code for the software that runs on it. Suddenly, "everyone" can create new toys, tools, utilities, car parts, or whatever you can think of.

If you want to be fearful of AI, don't be afraid to lose your job. Be afraid to lose your life, Terminator style. 🙃
