The devastating impact comes if you remove AI but there is no reason to believe AI is going away.
Then there is the fact that companies have been relying on Indians for a long time and AI makes it that they need less Indians and the one remaining being better do to AI.
The skill erosion would take 20-30 years, to actual hit hard enough as to have an impact.
An AWS error took out a significant portion of online services for a good portion of the day just today, and cloud based services are by far the most popular consumer AI usage methods.
There's every reason to assume that AI infrastructure will break at some point, at least temporarily. Nevermind the incentives to monopolize and price gouge AI access in the future.
Apparently a lot of our infrastructure continues to be put up in US East, so power brownouts and lack of infrastructure development may smother AI for the next couple of years in the US.
Are you suggesting higher unemployment is a good thing because it means more Indians will also be unemployed? Very low IQ take there.
We've seen skill decay have noticeable effects in much less than a decade. Mainstream outlets have already written about people getting degrees without learning anything because of post-ChatGPT AI that's not even been around 3 years: https://archive.is/R65nt
It was about skill erosion and not unemployment. Skill erosion will not have such an impact as people think it will just because we're already using low skill people.

Good.
That is a good point but if AI becomes indispensable it will just cause companies to have redundancy.

In other words the skill erosion has already happened then. But never underestimate how much things can still get worse.
