>the company will succeed at developing AI systems that make most human labor obsolete.

Hmmmn. Most of the humans where I work do things physically with their hands. I don't see what AI will achieve in their area.

Can AI paint the walls in my house, fix the boiler and swap out the rotten windows? If so I think a subscription to chat GPT is very reasonably priced!

Obviously if your job requires blue-collar style manual labor, no it's likely not going to be replaced anytime soon.

But if your job is mostly sitting at a computer, I would be a bit worried.

Given the low quality of relationships between customers and blue-collared jobs, i.e. ever tried to get a job done by a plumber or a painter, if you don’t know how to do their job you are practically assured they will do something in your back that will fall off in 2 years, for the price of 2x your daily rate as a software engineer (when they don’t straight up send a paperless immigrant which makes you culprit of participation to unlawful employment scheme if it is discovered), well…

I’d say there is a lot of available money in replacing blue collared jobs with AI-powered robots. Even if they do crap, it’s still better quality that contractors.
