Businesses are quick to adopt tech when it affects the bottom-line -- if employees become more efficient, the business will need fewer of them.
The entire ecosystem around search engines (eg. SEO) might dry-up as people abandon the crummy ad/notification/cookie-consent/popup filled web.
I was reminded of Mechanical Turk the other day and wondered if it's going to continue to exist or just be automated away. What about all those commercial artists and the art colleges? There's a huge number of apps and extensions that have been rendered obsolete before they were even created. An extension to do X in Office for example is now a non-starter. What about an app to do X -- you have to verify that X is not already handled by AI.
