I grew up in the 80s and we were basically taught that at any moment we could see a mushroom cloud and get a minute to say goodbye to everything. As horrible as that was, I think it taught us to deal with uncertainty in a way that maybe other generations didn't get. We learned to accept that we don't always have control over what's going to happen. And in that acceptance, there is a Zen peace.
The truth is, we don't know how AI will evolve. Maybe it will replace all jobs in 10 years. Or maybe never. Or maybe the world will change bit by bit over the next 50 years until it is utterly unrecognizable. Anyone who tells you that they know for sure is selling you something.
If forced to guess, I would say AI is like electricity or the microprocessor: it will change everything, but it will take decades.
Once you accept that things are going to change, it frees you to focus on what's important. Focus on what you can control: your skills, your effort, and your relationships (business and personal).
