I think everybody has worked with someone who can barely tie their own shoes. I worry about those types a lot. I'm a pretty optimistic guy most of the time, but I don't see how things work out for those people without crazy levels of government intervention.
I'm sure we've all also seen these people get raises, promotions, bonuses and opportunities in front of others as well. Thinking AI is just going to replace the low performers of the workforce is naive in my opinion. Once AI can complete a task it won't do it at the level of a low performer. 6 months ago everyone was laughing at AI images and the hands it was making - no one would pay for those. Fast forward to today and I don't think you can look at the image generation and say "watch out low performing graphic designers".

It's the same attitude everyone has when they hear layoffs are coming. They're too important and too irreplaceable to be laid off, until they're not.
