Sure, the total demand increases but not the same kind of demand that it's replacing. We may end up seeing CSS specialists "rust belt" falling in poverty while theres substantial wealth build up among "prompt engineers" with good taste in aesthetics.
- vasco 3y agoIn any job if you overspecialize and don't learn the fundamentals you're at risk. A CSS specialist is like a CRT TV fixer as compared to a general programmer and an electrician, respectively. Those jobs always have numbered days.

They acquire deep understanding of these tools and that's how they become experts of something instead of jack of all trades and master of none. Of course, they end up outdated in the areas they don't practice and risk being wiped out if the toolset they specialise or the whole industry falls out of favor. That's also why we have people who once were middle class but now their wealth and influence decays and they feel left back. With de-industrialization, that happened to awful lot of people in classical industries for example. Also, with progressing age it becomes harder and harder to adapt. As a twist in fate, maybe the AI people will eat the Software people who ate the classical industry people. Some will adapt and prosper, most won't because they will be busy doing their jobs and getting paid good salaries in comfortable jobs. The software ate the world, the AI will eat the software.
