At the risk of sounding disparaging, I've found so far over the timeline of the past year or so, most people with a "threatened" industry over estimate their skills to be unreplaceable by AI, and rather it's an effective tool to increase output. It wasn't until text to image suddenly gave anyone that can type a prompt the ability to make beautiful art that graphic designers started to feel the looming storm.
Personally after consideration, I think the most genius sector to disrupt would be programming. Not because it's the easiest (programming has a lot more involved than just typing code), and not so AI can just write its own code and self improve (probably a ways out from that). But The reason I think it's the best to go first is because it would have the greatest effect across all industries. We don't want to sit around wondering when our jobs are all going to disappear, we would want it to happen to as many people as possible as quickly as possible. Programmers are the foundation to basically any business that has any aspect of tech involved. It'd be the biggest blow, which is a good thing in the long run.
But I don't know. I really do wonder if it's a career worth starting soon. It feels like wack-a-mole for anyone trying to plan a career now because any sector could be disrupted in a month.
