A lot of the practical effects guys were in fact made redundant and replaced by CGI guys. So, the industry as such survived, but not all the jobs did.

- sanjayio 4y agoIt’s nice to know it didn’t happen over night as GPT enthusiasts posit.
- TaylorAlexander 4y agoOh absolutely. I just think the change was more gradual than the kind of overnight doom and gloom predictions we get from new technology a lot of the time. And you end up in situations where the previous practical effects workers might move to adjacent fields due to their industry experience, rather than just lose work entirely. Things will absolutely change, but that doesn't mean whole industries get obliterated overnight. What I am trying to say is some predictions are overly pessimistic about future job prospects, and that in reality a lot of predicted technological change is overblown. I suspect we will still have programming jobs in 20 years, and I would be surprised if we had fewer than we do today.
