The skillset needed to be a productive employee who is, say, a programmer is not the same at all as the skillset to run an entire business.

Sales and, shudders, marketing. I am not joking. As much as I hate to say it, my personal opinion is that this is the 'safe' spot now.

AI is definetly taking a big portion of the marketing budget as well.

Just today I was served a clearly AI-generated Halloween ad for Coca-Cola.
