I think this will be a long-term trend in the use of AI, although not immediately but slowly it is starting to appear, but in my opinion after many jobs are replaced by AI, there will be new job opportunities, isn't that usually the case?
There will always be opportunities in every closing.
I am skeptical on the market being full of opportunities for the people being lay off because of the implementation of the artificial intelligence withit all kinds of industries, just look of the generative AI has already been impacting the market of digital art, it has been reported those how work in the business of concept art for videogames, movies and novels have been going through tough times because of how companies have decided to opt for generating their own images for free.
What scares me the most is how some people could believe giving artificial Inteligence a full hardware body or the ability to code by itself could be a good idea, by any means it should be prohibited to give the capability to this technology to code itself, otherwise it would grow outside of our control and could do very bad things or even turn against us.
It would be very ironic if programers are tasked by big companies to make AIs able to code and then they all get fired when the first version of such AI is ready to code/progam by itself.
