I would not only be devastated from the loss of income, but psych;ogicaly speaking, it would really affect me negatively. Knowing that I busted my butt for years, only to get fired due to AI replacing me would be just too much to accept. I think there's still a human aspect to my job, but I could potentially see my job cut to only a few hours per week. I think I'd ask why my AI friend did that to me and wait for an answer.
