Computers made people more productive and internet made trade far more efficient. AI makes my job far more efficient (I work in software as well); most my colleagues have been fired now in the past months because now I can do the work of 10+ by using chatgpt api. That says something about my employer, however there are boatloads of the same companies. And my colleagues, some of whom are great humans, are just not very good at what they are hired for and, as such, easy to replace by gpt4 wielded by someone who does understand. Nothing to do with disdain; it’s just the group that will fall first. But then it’ll come for us. I like your optimism, I just don’t share it; this is far more of a change than many think. Sure maybe not next year (although…) but your taxis, ubers, buses and serving beers might be the only jobs left for you and me. I am worried for my kids, not for me. But this is now within reach, while it seemed very far off last year. Deniers won’t save anything.
