For the bottom 40% of skill and intellect, AI winning in a space is existentially threatening the way a tiger moving into your house would be existentially threatening.

The thing that kept shitters employed was
>idk we can have 'em make unimportant icons or shade textures for pre-baked lighting on physics props, or write non-quest store NPC lines or make variations on leafs or whatever
You just gave them all the scutwork where the difference between exceptional work and okay work was essentially irrelevant, it was just pass/no-pass shit you just had to do.

If AI can handle these use cases, there isn't really any use for them anymore, and they either need to
1. move down the company value chain to justify their pay (eg longer hours, lame double duty responsibilities like "you're the playtester/bathroom cleaner", or "it's not just scutwork, but work so unpleasant that historically we couldn't get people to consistently take it"),
2. give up their good pay and change fields to one that pays shittier but will still have them, or
3. accept obsolescence and mcfucking die

Far easier to scream and shake the chains when you see the tiger coming than wait till you have to fight the tiger.
