Reads like astroturf to me. > do not know what's coming for us in the next 2-3 years, hell, even next year might be the final turning point already. What is this based on? Research? Data? Gut feeling? > but how long will it be until even that is not needed anymore? You just answered that. 2 to 3 years, hell, even next year, maybe. > it also saddens me knowing where all of this is heading. If you know where this is heading why are you not investing everything you have in these companies? Isn't that the obvious conclusion instead of wringing your hands over the loss of a coding job? It invents a problem, provides a time line, immediately questions itself, and then confidently prognosticates without any effort to explain the information used to arrive at this conclusion. What am I supposed to take from this? Other than that people are generally irrational when contemplating the future?

We have reached the "singularity of marketing". It's what happens when an AI model has surpassed human marketers and traditional bot farms and can be used to do its own astroturfing. And then with the investment frenzy it generates, we can build the next generation of advertising intelligence and achieve infinite valuation!

TL;DR: There's many more ways to lose money or barely break even than gain from AI investing. Because unlike previously: - You can't invest in these things directly (mostly private) so gains are at best diluted for retail investors. - They can take your job AND still be unprofitable (i.e. on VC money/subsidized). - Value accures to capital/companies using it potentially, not the AI labs themselves in a competitive market. In which case the gains will be across many industries and be diluted (i.e. not life changing if you invest enough to offset income loss) Combined with the fact that many are reliant on their income to pay the bills and don't have enough capital to invest in these things and yes: - They are exposed to the loss of income of their labor. - They don't have the capital and/or risk tolerance to invest accordingly. - The way to invest in these isn't obvious and is subject to unsystematic risk (i.e. can you pick the winners?).
