I get the feeling, but I can't help but also say it sounds like how I imagine professional portrait artists felt about the photograph. Or scribes about audio recordings. Or any other occupation that similarly got more or less replaced by a technological advance.

Those jobs still exist, but by large are either very niche or work using that tech in some way.

It is not wrong to feel down about the risk of so much time, training, etc rapidly losing value. But it also isn't wrong that change isn't bad, and sometimes that includes adjusting how we use our skills and/or developing new ones. Nobody gets to be elite forever, they will be replaced and become common or unneeded eventually. So it's probably more helpful for yourself and those that may want to rely on you to be forward-thinking rather than complaining. Doesn't mean you have to become pro-AI, but may be helpful to be pragmatic and work where it can't.

As to work supply... I figure that will always be a problem as long as money is the main point of work. If people could just work where they specialize without so much concern for issues like not starving, maybe it would be a different. I dunno.
