I think the real challenge is not whether AI will “replace” people, but how we preserve the spaces where skills are actually practiced and refined. Entry-level jobs, internships, and junior projects have always been more about learning curves than efficiency. If AI shortcuts those too aggressively, we risk cutting off the very ladder that produces the next generation of capable engineers and creators.

Maybe the question isn’t “Will AI take jobs?” but “How do we redesign pathways so humans still get the training ground they need—while AI handles the repetitive load?”
