replyI think social media is a big factor. Anti-AI posts and comments are very popular on mainstream Reddit subs at least. Not sure if its a cause or an effect or even external manipulation

replyIt's repeatedly stated that while it's still improving, AI is coming for the entry level positions and the juniors first. How many times have you seen AI described as "like an eager junior"?

replyWhy would that surprise you? They aren't stupid. They can see that people are trying to position AI as a way to replace them.
My intuition would be that the resistance would come from grumpy old guys like me who spent most of their lives perfecting their craft.
replyYou grumpy old guys probably own a house. As labour continues to get devalued, it feels like assets are the only path to prosperity. That's where my anxiety is coming from, anyway.
replyIt should be coming from them too
replyMy guess is a lot of those grumpy old guys, on this site at least, are sitting pretty with large bank accounts. So they don't need to worry about their jobs anymore. They could retire safely tomorrow if they wanted. So they don't care.
Just another instance of the older generation trying to loot the future from the younger.
