First of all, I don't want to be poor. I know many of you are thinking something along the lines of "I am smart, I was doing fine before, so I will definitely continue to in the future".
That's the unearned hubris I was referring to. We got very lucky as programmers, and now the gravy train seems to be coming to an end. And not just for programmers, the other white-collar and creative jobs will suffer too. The artists have already started experiencing the negative effects of AI.
EDIT: I understand you guys might not agree with my comments. But don't you thinking that flagging them is going a bit too far?
