IT support by staff like sysadmins can hardly be replaced in the near future.
I don't see AI being able to setup a whole environment itself.
Creative jobs on the other hand...
Developers are often the ones setting up the environments now via things like Terraform. IT is still needed for on-prem work though.
That's what cloud services are for.
And who sets up those? If sysadmin jobs are killed for on premise at companies at the very least they will be needed for datacenter work.
