And he's very worried.

He doesn't know exactly what's causing it, whether it's a cyclical economic phenomena, just the economy in a bit of a downturn, the job market changing, being weak.

We've talked about that.

Or is it AI or is it all of the above plus some other factors?

But it's another sign that we've had several of these that where AI potentially is having its biggest impact so far is on entry-level jobs.

I had an email, we had an email actually,

on our Substack site the other day from somebody looking for career advice in the nicest, most possible, polite way.

This particular individual, who shall remain nameless, was thinking of changing jobs.

He works in the financial services industry.

He described his current job.

He described the job for which he's been offered and said, which one is going to be more susceptible to AI disruption in the future?

And I don't know whether you saw the answer that I gave him, Jim, but the honest answer is twofold that I gave him.

One, I've no idea.

Secondly, I do believe that with those smart glasses and all the other things that we could talk about, every single job in the world is susceptible to AI disruption potentially.

And the real question is, how long is it going to take for your particular job to be disrupted?

It looks like entry level at the moment.

But financial services is certainly an area that I think will be potentially heavily disrupted.

I don't know.

I don't know for sure.

I think the biggest uncertainty is over how long it's going to take, but it's happening.
