I think we are on the same page. There is a sociological concept of Generic Worker and Self-Programmable worker by the sociologist Manuel Castell. The self-programmable workforce is endowed with the ability to retrain and adapt to new tasks, new processes and new sources of information, as technology, demand and management accelerate their pace of change. Generic labor, on the other hand, is exchangeable and disposable, and coexists in the same circuits with machines and unskilled labor from all over the world.
Generic workers are already being replaced by automation (robots), but now LLMs are threatening self-programmable workers. The only way to adapt to the new reality is to become indispensable in training LLMs. It will completely upend the current job market as we know it. And as you said, the danger is if we treat LLMs as generative AIs.
