The thing is; now it doesn’t matter if your job has been done properly by AI or not, what matters is that it’s just cheaper. And when all companies jump on this bandwagon of enshittification for profit it becomes the standard. This already happened with customer support. It’s nearly impossible to get a human when you call for support. All customers hate it, make their life harder. But still all companies do it and with no alternative you just have to accept it. From what I see, the adoption to AI happens in two ways: either you want to make your human driven processes better by utilizing AI or for cheaper with AI but with ‘passable’ quality. And it looks like companies are mostly in the second camp. So I don’t think besides some exceptional cases and industries the quality of work will be a determining factor.
I predict that “career” as we know it today will disappear shortly. We will have to change careers every 5 to 10 years. Depending on where the wind is blowing from and if there will be any vacant jobs. Being an expert in a field will not have much of a value as that expertise will be stolen by AI during one’s employment anyway. What can be helpful in this dystopia waiting for us would be analytic problem solving skills, creativity, constant learning and curiosity. But no matter what, we will all end up with minimum wage.
