"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.
