People really need to accept AI as the useful tool it is and lay off the old grumpy "back in my day"-attitude. It's a disruptive technology and it's here to stay. Adapt and praise it for what it is ... and most importantly recognize what it enables you to do - instead of feeling challenged by it. Every profession that has tools that assist or take away certain aspects of it will enable you to put in more work and effort into other aspects of it. Just use that as an opportunity, like it happens every so often with every other technological advancement.

"AI" already came for most professionals with the arrival of computing/digitization. It has basically stripped the legal field down from a big pyramid (10s of associates per partner) to being more column-like (maybe 5-10 associates per partner: one of the law firms I use has a 1:1 ratio). It's not clear to me that there are fewer partner-level lawyers, though. I expect the same to happen with most creative fields, and programming, because of AI. Basically, if you were hoping to coast by on mediocrity, you will be shown the door, but if you excel at something, the opportunity will be a lot greater.
