It'll definitely result in a bunch of lower-level job losses. But ultimately in the case of law, and regulated finance like accounting, *someone* in the chain with a certification will be required to "sign off" on the work. Same thing in medicine.
This will, however, in the long term lead to the "pro-social" outcome of prices in those fields dropping dramatically.

Agree 100% on your first paragraph. And, at least in my country, the required sign-offs only ratchet upwards.
Hopeful - but unconvinced - about the second. The entry-level jobs that will be lost barely pay more than retail.
The costs of those industries have less to do with utility generated, and more to do with sharing in the spoils of power.
But disruption brings opportunities, something could do to those industries what Uber did to taxi-medallion investors. I hope that something can be open-source AI
