OP, is this realization just now hitting you lol? I had this convo with my colleagues 5 years ago.

I work in big tech and have no concerns about my kids. DH and I need to be able to hold on for 10 years to retire, I am nervous about that.

My kids are young but all interested in blue collar jobs that exist in the real world, not just the digital world. They will be fine.

I call absolute bs that you were having this conversation 5 years ago. 5 years ago AI as we know it categorically did not exist. The only thing that existed 5 years ago was suggested sentence finishers and vague language interpretation, things like BERT. Also call bs on your 'young kids who are interested in blue collar jobs'. Your 5 year old wanting to be a fireman is not a solution for this moment dude. If in fact you were high enough up the food chain in tech and smart enough to truly know this was coming 5 years ago, then your net worth should be high enough you dont both need to work for another decade.

DP. My DH also works in tech (he’s in consulting, but nowhere near high up enough in the food chain to not need to work) and we’ve been talking about this for years. Heck Andrew Yang has been campaigning on UBI due to AI replacement for nearly a decade now.

If you weren’t worried about AI 5 years ago the you live under a rock.[/quote]
