Working freelance in web development is the opposite of job security, so I can understand why you feel concern about the impact of AI on your industry. However, reading this, I do not get the impression that your background gives any kind of unique insight others have missed, more that you’ve just read a lot of opinions online. Online isn't reality. Online, people don't talk about corporate politics and inertia and the million tiny factors that determine which jobs get "replaced" and which don't. I use quotation marks because most people mid-career or higher can see changes coming and either shift out into another role or go into management or solution architect roles where there is a need for human oversight (and tend to be roles that offer more money). AI is an existential risk only if you choose to do the same job forever.
