On reading about the generative AI impact on graduate research, environmental, IT jobs, I thought so manual jobs might be safe .... and then I saw this. So no job is safe. Is this really the future we want?

If you want to understand the impact of AI on jobs, don’t look at jobs, look at tasks, says new report. And it's not good for new graduates. Fewer jobs and poorer pay since ChatGPT’s arrival. Golo Henseke reports
