You'll have even more time with your family when you are no longer a SWE, e.g.

When automation displaced farmer manual labour, it also led to new jobs opening up for that labour to flow into.

What new jobs/fields do you see developing out of AI tools and how they've been marketed so far?

Every step of automation across the history of humanity has led to a "concentration of power" in jobs/fields which required brainpower. AI is the technology coming for brainpower. Where do we go from there? Back to farming?

And when I say AI is coming for the brainpower, it's coming for it in two ways: directly where it takes our jobs and indirectly where a lot of people using it are seemingly getting dumber. Both are quite dangerous to our combined futures.

Good luck farming. Even the people with the newest farming technology and multigenerational experience in their land are going bankrupt.
