Aside from task automation and what that means for jobs, the first losers will be people who are just starting their careers. When you're starting out, you don't know shit. Even with a college degree or two, you don't know anything. There's a lot about a career that you can only learn by doing.

So what happens when the lowest level tasks are taken care of by AI, and all you really need is someone with experience to validate the outputs? Take copywriting. You can easily use prompts to churn out copy, but it won't be perfect. It will miss some key phrasing, might include points that don't need to be there, maybe there are additional marketing messages to weave in. But on the whole, the drafting part of the writing is automated.

Now, if I'm the business leader, I don't want some very junior person validating those outputs. They don't know what to look for. They probably could not even write it as well as the AI. If I'm a business, I don't need junior people, I just need 1 or 2 experts.

The consequence is that getting into a career and earning your place is going to get very difficult. If you're in high school or college right now, the way I started my career and the way you're going to start it are really different. I don't know yet how we will overcome this as a society. If you remove opportunities to learn, then humans will perpetually lose skills as they are automated. How do you become a copywriter if no one needs you and your newly minted bachelors in communications? How do you become an expert without experience? That's going to be a huge issue going forward, and I don't know of anyone with a real answer for it.
