I'm not so sure that's how it's going to go down widespread, have kids in some of the fields mentioned, and in my field, if they could AI that sh*t, good luck. But, I can offer a bit of incite pertaining to what I'm seeing in a tiny circle of IT with my kid.
Kid works at a tier one as an IT intern. He was ambitious enough to embrace the AI culture, studies the sh*t out of it. Apparently he has a half dozen of the software programs running at home on his desktops and laptops and virtual machines, etc, and can network the applications on any device he wants, local and offsite. The stuff he showed me was pretty amazing. I know computers pretty well, but he's taking it to a level that I still follow, but I can't follow the depth behind all of it.
In the workplace, he's creatively "creating" scripts to enhance productivity across the board - over and above his daily IT tasks. Internally, they utilize AI approved software, and you can't use unapproved software. While he's learning to code, it's not as necessity if you understand how to pull what you need from AI to fill in the voids. So basically with his system based and network background, and adding in AI, coding, and scripting components, it enhances capability tremendously. To add, he's the only one doing this at his location, meaning the door is wide open for opportunity - IF you can get in the door. His education is in cybersecurity, but his experience is IT and networking, with AI avenues over and above all of this.
Now, comes both the good and bad news.
The good news is that he's doing things others haven't prepared themselves to do at his facility. Developer interns (not dedicated developers) who take over six months to develop a script, he mentioned he could do it in a few weeks or less. But, I also mentioned to him the downfall of this technology. IF, you step up to mention this to your manager, and actually do this, then why do they need the person that takes six times longer? You will put people out of jobs. He understands. Excellent people will stand out on their own merits, but there's no reason to toss anyone under the bus while you climb the mountain.
The bad news, is that this company is downsizing like many others. Hiring freezes, downsizing, as his department lost a handful of people, like other departments across the facility. Instead, his manager asks when his schooling is done, and when can he go full time? He works part time while finishing up the bachelor degree. It's been stated multiple times, they want him full time, a salaried position is available when his school over with. They stated that they wish they could hire a number of candidates just like him over existing IT personnel, I kid you not. His manager and 2nd are grooming him to lead. That part worries me a bit. As a parent I'm ecstatic he's doing what he's doing, but it's also based on his merits, in which degrades those that aren't at the same level. I believe in the last layoff, they let go four or so IT personnel. They get him on the intern rate, doing things both in the IT field, and things that others aren't doing.
AI is a serious thing. When it becomes established larger scale, it can have the capability to displace many in the workforce. History repeating itself over again. I was young at one time myself. These companies su-k up that talent sometimes at the expense of the senior.
