General intelligence doesn’t mean it can do anything atleast doesn’t necessarily mean so and also to think either we will be utopia or dystopia is also extreme polar generalization

Agree on both points, I wasn't quite clear. I was trying to argue that if we do get singularity-type AGI, a machine capable of replicating human thought and communication, we will build an endless amount of them, and everything about society will change. You are right, it's not necessarily dystopic or utopic, but it will be different enough that trying to choose a future-proof job is close to useless.

And if we don't get that, and we "just" get amazing tools, I would assume jobs will adapt. Actually, if some fields get more AI tools than others, those fields might grow in the number of people working in them, just in new AI-adjacent jobs we don't recognize yet.
