From my perspective, not everybody is busy but they are using AI to remove the load from them.

You might think: But that is great right??

I had a chat with a friend also in IT, ChatGPT and alike is the one doing all the "brain part and execution" in most cases. Entire workflows are done by AI tools, he just presses a button in some cases.

People forget that our brain needs stimulation, if you don't use it, you forget things and it gets dumber. Watch the next generation of engineers that are very good at using AI but are unable to do troubleshooting on their own.

Look at what happened with ChatGPT4 -> 5, companies workflows worldwide stopped working setting companies back by months.

Do you wanna a real world example???

Watch people who spent their entire lives within an university getting all sort of qualification but never really touched the real deal unable to do anything.

Sure, there are the smarter ones who would put things to the test and found awesome job, but many are jobless because all they did is "press a button", they are just like the AI enthusiasts, remove such tools and they can no longer work.
