These questions can be distilled down to: Will fill_in_the_blank jobs go away? Less demand equals less pay and less interesting problems.

AI is the second wave of software eating the world. The first wave improved knowledge sharing and mechanized business processes. That wave replaced many jobs and produced funny t+shirts like "I could replace you with a bash script".

The second AI wave will replace low hanging fruit pattern matching jobs, when there's enough data to train on. If your job is to pattern match input, then it's likely ripe for AI replacement. Think jobs with analyst in their title. Compliance Analyst. SOC Analyst.

Any job that requires critical thinking, has limited training data, or has low tolerance for failure - they're not going away anytime soon. Maybe augmented with AI tools, but not replaced. Jobs like Security Researcher or Security Incident Handler.
