Whether you're 20, 30, 40, or 50, you're gonna be fucked by AI in some way in the next decade. It doesn't matter if you're old or not.
How?
Can you give some realistic, meaningful ways the average person like myself will be fucked by AI?

Engineers need to remember that time exists.
You have three months to teach a teen how to control a robot with a microcontroller.
OK, how much of that do you budget to CS and assembly?
Month 1: Architecture and data structures? You have 18 40 minute periods and maybe homework assignments.
Half of the class won't even gain mastery in that time. By time your class is over they will still be having memory management problems.
So then you've failed to achieve the goal.
There are engineers who remember that time exists and for the rest we have engineering managers. Not ideal, just how it is.
To be sure engineering schools are doing a bad job at teaching reality. Even in a dx/dr environment, it's so weird.

Famous last words. "Proven because it is old" is a much weaker argument than "Proven because the compiler validates every individual unit." Period. Not to mention, we keep seeing this argument fall apart, especially when the "old code" egos prevail even when they obviously shouldn't have.

Common sense should tell you that old code is not proven simply because nobody has exploited it. But here you are, making that argument. You have implementations confused with specifications. Specifications tend to age better than implementations do.

A lot of folks watch these things already for a variety of reasons, but whatever those are there appears that the market for synthetic live action-esque movies has a positive cost benefit ratio for the folks making these things. Hell, most blockbuster movies are 50% CGI already. The jump to 100% isn't all that much.
