> There is no particular sympathy towards programmers in society, I don't think.
The concern policy makers have is not about programmers, but about boatloads of other people having no time to adapt to the massive wave these policymakers see coming.
There a strong signals that anyone who produces text, speech, pictures or whatever is going to be affected by it. If the value of labor goes down, if a large part of humanity cannot reach a level anymore to meaningfully contribute, if productivity eclipses demand growth, you simply will see lots of people left behind.
Strong societies depend on strong middle classes. If the middle class slips, so will the economy, so no good news for blue collar as well. AI has the potential to suffocate the organism that created it.
