I've been editing video for 30 years, 25 professionally - narrative, advertising, live, etc. I know exactly what it entails. Rough cuts can be automated right now. They still need a fair amount of work to take them to the finish line, though who knows how long that'll remain true. I'm more interested in training an AI editor on my particular editing style and choices than lamenting the death of a job description. I've already seen newscasts go from needing 9 people behind the camera to only 3 and the analog film industry transition to digital, putting LOTS of people out of a career. It's been a long time since I was under the illusion that this wouldn't happen to my occupation.
And I'm telling you that's not what is happening anymore. They are just having middle managers do rough cuts and saying "good enough." Have you seen the quality of advertising video these days?
