I think you greatly understate the impact as EVERYONE is freaking the fuck out about AI, not just NLP researchers.

AI is obliterating the usefulness of all mental work. Look at the high percentage of HN articles trying to figure out whether LLMs can eliminate software developers. Or professional writers. Or composers. Or artists. Or lawyers.

Focusing on the NLP researchers really understates the scope of the insecurity induced by AI.



As someone in NLP who lived through this experience: there's something uniquely ironic and cruel about building the wave that washes yourself away.
