Or I guess what I mean to say is, none of these skills seem very difficult to obtain. So what's the problem?
IMHO the problem is that many professional are sleeping on AI. They don't take the time to try it and become proficient with it. Part of it is likely due to inertia, part of it due to prejudice or bad experience with earlier iterations.
Well put! Inertia, plus distrust with anything new.
The most I can add is from historical experience. When I first got into tech, technology was largely tube, with transistors starting to be employed. Even early RTL logic IC's in a few places.
Tube guys didn't want to upgrade their knowledge.
Computers were migrating from ferrite core drum memory. Dunno if many people lost their jobs over migrating to IC's from that, probably some.
Ive seen people lose their jerbs over refusing to transition to digital photography from chemical. Or transitioning from Ozalid viewgraphs to photochemical viewgraphs to 35mm slides to PowerPoints. 3-D animation work going from VTR frame buffer frame by frame recording to non-linear Editing. I'll bet the newer people here never heard of some of those things.
Tech Fields are not fields for people who resist change.
