People doubt this, and maybe the percentage is too high, or the time horizon too low. But it's coming without a doubt.
Remember the times about 15-20 years ago when people were dishing good money on DSLR. Professional photographers were complaining that amateurs come in and lower both the quality and the prices charged. Well, after everyone now has a camera in their pocket that rivals a professional DSLR from 20 years ago, everyone can make decent photos. Not Ansel-Adams-levels, but usable photos.
AI will be like iPhone cameras on steroids. A lot of people will be able to do a lot of things, not at professional level, but at passable level. Very soon live speech translation will be a thing on a smartphone. How many professional translators will still have a job?
