Right now is that time. Time and cost are on a sliding scale with ML. The more money you commit, the faster you can train AI. As it is, an AI can be finetuned on basically the entirety of the worlds knowledge of a specific subject in a month with (relatively) significant monetary investment

In that case, you cannot keep pace with AI as a white collar worker that is displaced.

If you need new education to fill a different professional job position, chances are AI will be developed faster than you can upskill to get to that level.

We are not competing with AI. We are competing with other people who use AI. Everyone has and will have AI. Using AI won't give you a comparative advantage in 2030.

Companies that want to scale AI need people. AI really shines when it is supported. You need people around them to maximise their value.

If you want to get rid of your human employees and use only AI, your competition will eat your lunch. They will team up AI with humans and be faster and more creative than you. Competition won't allow companies to simply get rid of people.

All this extra creativity and work enabled by AI will be eaten by our expanding desires and entitlement. In 2030 the expectations of the public will be sky high compared to now, companies will have to provide better products to keep up.

right, but company will need just couple workers to work with AI, the work will be done much faster, rest will not be needed, same as in semi-automated factory, 90% of workers would be replaced by robot operators

Depends if people are investing money to make an AI related to that field but yeah that is the case

I think the notion that substance misuse is not rampant in white collar jobs is probably misplaced.

I'm not sure a month will do because I'm ignorant. But even if five years of training establishes AI competence in a field like the law, that is a huge impact. If I were advising a 20 year-old who wants to go to law school right now, I'm not sure what I'd say other than try working in a law firm before you make the commitment and pay very close attention to AI.
