Are jobs and the world going to be like this, moving forward?

Hi, I'm an intern at one of the big tech's, and it feels like, not to be dramatic, I'm staring into an abyss. I effectively spend 8-9 hours a day using claude code to do my work. For roughly 10-15% of my daily salary worth of tokens, I am able to finish 80% of my job. This is a topic discussed quite commonly but it really feels like work is getting enshittified; it isn't cognitively engaging at all. Beyond that I feel extremely worried about ai diffusing into the world. I don't think I, or most people, can compete with a technology that can run autonomously for hours on end, that's improving at the rate it is, that has basically infinite knowledge, and has the smartest and wealthiest people investing their resources heavily into. I'm not sure what sorts of white collar jobs will have durability. With how physical AI is developing I wouldn't be surprised come 3-4 years that even blue collar work to a large extent get's automated. The future looks very bleak, and those that don't think this technology is all that it's hyped up to be are naive in my opinion. So, what's the strat here?
