I am curious what you will do when AI not only encroaches on your hobbies, but your work? You probably don't edit movies (or whatever medium you edit) with old school film, I assume you use some sort of digital software. I suspect it's more likely than not that software is already being developed and maintained using coding assistants. And it's probably not very far away from having a chat oriented plugin that would allow you to say things like "take 1:03 to 2:03 and merge with 2:45-3:00, color correct as required," at the very least. If so, is your ability to technically manipulate your specific software really the thing that makes you an editor, or is it the decisions you make about how to edit things? If something could help you focus your time on those decisions, rather than the technical limitations of your software, could that not be a good thing?

Of course, it also wouldn't surprise me to find out you use some 15 year old version of your editing software because updates only ruin things (not an unreasonable position given the previous 15 years).
