Just saw this post now, posted same day as mine here asking specifically about programming. A lot of the answers seem to suggest there's nothing to worry about within the decade or longer.

I was basically asking if it's basically over for anyone looking to get into entry level careers in programming/web dev. Like is it worth it to start learning it now to find a career in it a few years from now. I made the comparison to graphic designers not worrying, then suddenly outraged, but programmers say their work is much more difficult for an AI to do.

I think this will happen for everyone though, because they take pride in their careers and the ability of AI to do it more efficiently hits a nerve and creates denial. This is going to happen with every sector.

Personally I think programming should be the main focus. Automating it, especially fully automating it, will accelerate every other sector. The faster the transition, the larger the sense of urgency placed on governments, the softer we get through the transition to some form of UBI or whatever this revolution brings. I think there's some very intelligent people that have planned this to reduce suffering among the population. I hope so anyway, because governments will drag their feet to avoid making decisions.
