I often find myself on other subs having to refrain from commenting "AI will soon make this job disappear, so your career goals/concerns are irrelevant".

Particularly on the subs about copywriting and the subs about acting. But also generally in any sub relating to working in the entertainment or content industry. I see people talking about how hard it is to get an acting role or to get their career off the ground, writers in hollywood trying to break into the industry, new copywriters, folks asking if now is a good time to go to a coding bootcamp, UX people - they are all very focused on leveling up their careers, or even just trying to get a foot in the door.

I follow Matt Wolfe's channel on youtube and the shit going on right now with AI text to video and text to music is insane - and so much progress has been made in those areas in just 12 months, not to mention the new multimodal generation of freely available chatbots. Perplexity, Claude, ChatGPT, Apple, are all rolling out awesome new features (Google Gemini is the only one I think is still too clumsy). Someone trying to break into acting does not understand that soon we will just have completely ai generated performances. established actors worrying about studios using their likeness in ai generated work do not understand that studios will just invent their own new actors and won't need to use someone's likeness or even their voice.

Copywriters on the sub have their heads so far in the sand they are practically peaking out the other side of the earth. They are fetishizing 'good copy' like people give a shit between that and medium copy, and severely underestimating what AI is already capable of doing in that field with the right prompt.

And folks going to coding bootcamps-omg. If not for AI, that industry would already be so oversaturated, but I cannot see why we would need a single person coding in 10 years TOPS.

I could go on and on. People do not understand what is coming. So many white collar content/entertainment creation industries are about to go 'people-less'. Maybe not right away or in the next year or two, but if you are thinking about your CAREER you are thinking in DECADES, in that time frame the idea that AI won't completely replace all of these people is just insane to me.
