In some isolated cases like that it might, and we've also had someone comment that the AI push is actually a free-labor ponzi scheme, since it will eventually take warehouses full of low-paid sweatshop workers to help wrangle the AI responses into something presentable for any large amount of labor where the quality of the work actually directly influences customer perceptions, so in the long run overall it might increase total jobs available albeit at a lower average pay for them, but those sweet high-paid entry level CS jobs are the first things these companies are gonna try to replace with it, so the short term outcome is definitely gonna be a general gutting of the economy.

If you haven't seriously checked out anything on PBS since the 90's you're missing out. They've still been delivering excellent new educational content for adults and children up to the present, and their entertainment content is surprisingly good too. Back during the stupid actor's guild strike when nothing was on TV I took the time to give PBS a chance again for the first time since childhood and found it to be exemplary. Sure, maybe youtube howto videos might cover a lot of the fundamentals of this, but the medium is also greedy, disorganized, and loaded with inaccuracies and utter trash. Killing PBS is an atrocity and it's going to hurt society badly in the long run.
