This kinda aligns with the observation that exact science is more at risk than human sciences.
Math and coding are the first victims because they use exact language which only allows for a very few options in terms of next probable word/token.
Physics is next in line, as experimental uncertainty blurs the language we use.
Econ, as it mixes behavorial science with math, gives more options in terms of next words, so it's not too much of a threat yet.
Does that make sense?
I'm fortunate that I got tenure just before AI really started becoming widespread.
The tenure part is really the defining factor in how we act as scientists.
Related, a Korean Professor's union recently argued to abolish the tenure-track system (https://www.hibrain.net/braincafe/cafes/48/posts/407/articles/559797 if you can read Korean). Maybe that's the solution?
