AI is coming for the professional class. Expect outrage -- and fear.

6. I worked as an art director for newspapers and magazines...

and just as I was completing typing this sentence it occurred to me that my profession has already been devastated by the demise of newspapers, magazinnes and print jobs in general over the last couple of decades...and that's because of the advent of the internet, and that has happened before AI has even gotten started displacing such professional supervisory editing, editing, writing, reporting, art directiing/esthetic evaluation positions as programming has already done much of that, and I have tos say the standards of print journalism has not moved/kept up with/ transferred to the online world as strenuously as it was practiced in the print world.

Such as it is, life goes on, excellence doesn't always, and large language models that AI uses can still result sometimes in gibberish as cannibalization of the models can happen.

There's still hope, not for the jobs and professions lost, but for the needed vast expansion of the models and hope for improvement from the sometimes nonsensical output.

Oh, I should mention that a guaranteed basic income is going to be essential or it won't be the machines/AI revolting, it'll be the humans (usless eaters?) who they replaced.
