I had a similar contradiction with a friend yesterday, and I argued that the big winners of the AI revolution might actually be those in construction/electricians for instance, as their livelyhood won't be significantly affected in the next 10 years, as LLM can't be used to help or replace them in any way. I'm very worried and currious about the future, regardless.

There are a number of interconnected things, not all of which are probably properly called the Baumol effect. However, it seems that given more efficient manufacturing, demographic trends, and other things, one of the results will be that we see more automation/AI, self-service, and things we decide are maybe occasional luxuries rather than something we partake of routinely.
