Most jobs don’t matter tbh. Does any society actually need advertisers/marketing people, corporate executives (or frankly about 70% of middle management jobs), corporate consultants, or private equity? These jobs could vanish overnight and no one in the general population would give a shit. Lots of those jobs are a net negative to society, people might even be better off.
AI just exacerbates the existing trend of Bullshit Jobs by allowing people to produce orders of magnitude more worthless garbage (which is a massive boon to the worthless garbage industy, e.g. advertising, fraud, and propaganda).
My job is mainly producing the thousands of datasets. Producing one-off SQL queries for our customers is merely a side quest (which is now aided by AI). I can spend more time on my main quest.
Your job wouldn’t be missed if AI disappeared tomorrow if you’re that reliant on it.
Nothing you do matters. I hope you understand that.

Tell that to the ones who are paying me to do my job.
You just told us why they don’t need to pay you much longer…
Because we’re doing things faster than competition?
You’re not doing anything though. You admitted that in your post. If AI went away tomorrow you’d be screwed. You aren’t doing a job, the AI is.
You’re completely useless. And it won’t be long until your bosses realize that.
