Everyone has their underpants in a bunch about GenAI eliminating jobs. Let's step back for a moment and reflect on history.

Computers were used to replace infinite financial ledger curators, file cabinet stewards, and travel agents. Yet, how many millions of jobs were created by computers?
The Internet startled and confused the newspaper distribution industry. It's still confusing them to this day, but so many jobs were created beyond what were eliminated. Does anyone remember the mailroom clerk? I bet they're still salty about losing their job, eh?
GenAI will eliminate millions of tedious jobs. That's OK. Elevating ourselves to more meaningful work is an opportunity, not a threat. Like we've done in the past, we'll overcome this professional disruption and the bean counters will realize the error of their ways.
I for one, welcome my new tedium destroying overlords. I use tools to solve problems, and GenAI is another tool in the tool belt. As long as we have problems to solve, we'll have jobs solving problems.
Now, step back and breathe; look at the world around you. Do you believe we'll run out of problems worth solving anytime soon?
