I've heard it as "No one is losing their job to AI, but they will lose their jobs to someone who is using AI."

Think of AI like computers and spreadsheet software in the early 80s. I bet a lot of accountants were pretty freaked out about what this new technology was going to mean for their jobs.

Did technology replace those accountants? No, but companies probably didn't need as many accountants as they did before. AI will likely reduce the number of programmers that a company needs, but it won't eliminate them

Really I think it's kind of the opposite. There are plenty of jobs awaiting higher skilled labor. Just as Excel didn't hurt accounting, it gave many people who weren't trained I'm accounting to take on more tasks than they would have.

Case in point: I'm using ChatGPT to help me write cover letters. I make sure to proofread them and sometimes it hallucinates my expertise, but it makes it a lot faster.
