That's an easy question. First, people will forget how to do anything and become highly dependent on AI. That's already happening. I already see people not able to finish their work without AI.
Then, once everything has become a "pay to do" business model (I know right, the wet dream of any CEO) we will be happy to pay to write code, write docs, do a presentation. We will pay both in money and environmental costs.
The last step is to just keep doing what we are doing with the environment. Let's not bother doing anything to reduce climate change.
It's gotten to the point where most people don't even know how to forage, hunt, farm, start a fire, build a shelter, or make their own clothes.
Point being that technology elevates our highest capabilities at the expense of our lower level ones.
I think that makes sense, but still, you would expect a hunter to know how to hunt. I'm talking about people losing their skills for the job they are supposed to be doing without gaining any new ones
