We are only one major incident away from this trend reversing. Now that we have AI, regulation is less burdensome. More testing requirements, more certification requirements, more security requirements, more accessibility requirements.
Everyone keeps their jobs; the bar goes up. Whenever an industry gets better tools, we raise standards instead of making more cheap junk. We make $25K cars instead of $5K cars at 1960s engineering standards.

As with any tech revolution, jobs don’t go away in total but the types of jobs do. There aren’t a lot of buggy whip manufacturers any more. Professionals photography has taken a sharp decline. Certain kinds of white collar work are a dead end now.

Company bosses somehow see this differently. Now that the best performers are empowered by AI, cut the worst-performing workforce, and still enjoy efficiency gains!

Professional photography is still expected to grow over the next decade. It’s a competitive field but hasn’t actually shrunk much.

#6It certainly replaced a couple of white collars that used to do translations and asset creations for CMS, in some projects that I am aware of.

I think progessional photography is so wide as a definition that makes no sense. Product photography could be somehow replaced with AI, maybe, but not journalist photography at all. In fact, journalism photography is more importnat than ever with AI now.

I don't think that's what's happening.
Companies massively overhired during Covid after receiving trillions in free money and are now cutting the fat after the well's run dry.
AI productivity is just the excuse to save face because people believe it.

#9Most white collar work is writing documents that no one cares about. I've replaced 99% of my non-meeting workload with AI, and it's doing a great job.

Which is funny because they are the most AI replaceable humans in the building. Their entire function is to follow the corporate decision tree to the letter and make sure that all communication upwards gets filtered through their outlook account.
