I'm gen X working in a field and job that will absolutely be hit HARD by this. I'm fully aware I'm most likely working my last "real" job before I'll have to move on to gigs. I'll surely not be eligible for pension when this starts happening (only 41) but I fully expect my position to be taken by AI somewhere in the next 5 years.

I'm not fighting it. Something tells me the entire world will have... other attention-demanding proclivities in 5 years, and employment may not even be in the top 10 at that time.

@ 41, you are a Millennial friend.

The dates are fuzzy, because generations are more cultural than clinical.

If person born in 1984 grew up thinking "I could get a good job but what's the point" and worried about nuclear war constantly, they might ID as genX.

Millennials: “I could work forever and die with nothing, the environments going to kill us all painfully, but fuck it memes”

Yes, genX is kind of characterized by 'boomer class betrayal' apathy, growing up in the reggae/punk/goth and oldskool hiphop music era, and Pong to Quake gaming.
