While I was formulating my reply I asked myself: if we knew AI would only yield minor incremental improvements, would it be worth enduring the social upheaval caused by job losses and other stresses? Possibly not. Technologies should serve humanity by enabling greater cultural development, reducing suffering, and allowing us to achieve what otherwise would be impossible. The current level of AI, while helpful, doesn't fully achieve that. So which is it? AI is useless or AI is good enough to start replacing humans in jobs?
