I know how you feel.
I comfort myself with the thought that in the past, when there's been this kind of transformation (mechanical looms, automobiles, tractors, computers, internet), people could just not imagine what kind of jobs would replace the lost jobs. They thought there would be massive permanent unemployment, but there wasn't. The lost jobs WERE replaced with other jobs.
Is AI all that different? I think our wants will just expand. Not that I can necessarily predict WHAT exactly will come up.
But personally, I'm advocating for my kids, that they get seriously into AI, and use it regularly.
Ideally, this is not just asking AI to do schoolwork. Instead, it's creating different AI experiences, writing your own AI tools. It's a wide open world, and those people that are skilled in AI will do well. And hopefully other people as well.
