AI is overhyped, but there is much promise. maybe the best way to conceptualize this, inspired by @random_walker, is to compare AI in the 21st century to machines in the 20th century. in the industrial age, machines automated rote physical tasks. in the information age, AI could automate rote mental tasks. the more objective and templatized the task, the more vulnerable it is to AI displacement. conversely, the more subjective and creative the task, the safer it is from AI displacement.
