When you are paid $500,000+ a year you lose the right to use the "I'm just supporting my family" excuse. You sold your morals for a wheelbarrow of money, that is the end of the story.

Companies that use AI well will replace the companies that use AI badly. There is no world in which AI is not used extensively in all employment going forward.
