    Maybe my phrasing wasn’t clear, but the areas where I said I didn’t see it changing the trajectory much for the job, I meant that (as I mentioned with writers) the prospects already had lots and lots of competition and a very small percentage of people who’d like to do the job actually can make a living doing it. The numbers are already close to winning the lottery, I just don’t see AI making it like wining the powerball (multi state lottery) a substantive difference to people trying to “make it” in that field. If I’m already at 1 in 10 million, I don’t see that my decision making is going to be that affected if AI makes it 1 in 20 million. I don’t think people make decisions in that way.

    And for government interventions - do we subsidize writers now? If not, I just don’t see it politically, economically, or even philosophically to make sense to do so because of AI.
