The storm is not AI.
It's the uncountable number of fresh graduates standing behind you to do the same job.

It's the same problem this Twitter account is highlighting. The high earners do almost no work and thus have less or no experience. This has distorted job market beyond any sense.

Good talent thus sees few open positions and people hiring at good salaries see few good employees.
