Labeling "fact" doesn't it make it so. Facts don't occur with the word "most". Facts are a 100% truth. the term, "overworked" is completely subjective.

Fact. To keep a job that has a massive pool of people aspiring towards, you have to be A- Insanely Good. B- Work Harder than the next guy or C- Both A and B. Having a union doesn't change the fact that for every professional game designer, there are hundreds aspiring and talented waiting in the wings. It just adds a barrier to entry by preventing companies from getting rid of workers who aren't as good or hardworking as the guy knocking on the door with CV in hand. Or better yet, fresh cycling talent in conjunction with production cycles.
If I want a world in which people can purchase success and power with cash, I'll play Real Life. Keep Virtual Worlds Virtual!
And no, I'm not kidding. The quality of AI generated content is an exponential growth.
This is true too in my opinion, and not just tech work. I think we will see a shift in how tech work happens. We'll see positions for building, training, maintaining, and providing direct support using AI open up. Traditional jobs will start to incorporate using AI to resolve tasks and that will be an in demand skill set.
