Depending on the field, five years is generous. 6-12 months (if not already gone) for many things.

I made my 20 year career as a person who could do stuff with computers, software engineer etc. Every time I hear someone say, "my non tech friend who vibe coded an app got a bug he couldn't fix" etc, my response is they are using the wrong model and give it a few months. And I say this with great pain, I am in no way an AI booster, just a realist.
