AI is certainly going to displace some jobs, but from where we stand right now it's only going to impact lower skilled jobs for the forseeable future.
Whenever I try to use AI to help me write code or do research, it's really good at doing basic stuff that has likely been done by many humans in the past. But whenever I try to do something novel, I run into a brick wall.
This seems sensible to me, as once you veer outside the scope of an AI's set of training data, it won't be able to "predict" what the answer to a query should be.
