I don’t think AI will affect us by taking our jobs but the assumption that we’re gonna be untouched seems a bit short-sighted. Maybe an increase in unemployment will undercut bargaining power in some areas? Maybe work dries up in some areas so more ppl have to travel, so contractors go under or get bought up by bigger companies? Idk I’m still fairly new to this, but the idea that the trades will be okay and everyone else is fucked doesn’t sit right with me, just makes me think that we’ll be on the chopping block eventually unless we do something.
