The problem with AI is that it isn't like any previous technology. There may be temporary jobs to fill in the gaps but they won't be careers. The AI will do the process engineering and self optimization. The prompt witchcraft is a good example because today its totally unnecessary and doesn't actually increase performance, and they'll continue to make it easier to direct/steer the models. We're literally trying to build an intelligence to replace us.

We?

  The human species. "We" doesn't include everyone and doesn't necessarily imply the process happens through collaboration and planning (conspiracy). The race to automation is happening as expected; outside any group control and bound by competition. Game theory suggests the end result is us being replaced, if we make it that far. "We" as a species are the ones making it happen.

    Good one. "We" are not Demon Sam Altman or that clown of Anthropic or Google or Microsoft

      Don't forget you are also not Meta, xAI, Mistral, Alibaba, DeepSeek, Zhipu AI, Moonshot AI, ByteDance, Baidu, 01.AI, MiniMax, or Tencent.

    There is a very very small percentage of humanity that’s pushing this stuff on everyone else. In fact most are saying “please stop”. “We” as a species certainly aren’t making it happen.

      It is estimated that over 99.9% of all species that ever lived are extinct. The average lifespan of a species is 1–10 million years

Assuming we get smarter than human AI but keep control of the guidance and off switches we will be in the position of a king or rich person with servants smarter than themselves of which we have many historical examples. I figure it will go kind of like that but with more equality amongst the humans than historically as we'll be able to vote in some sort of socialist like set up with all humans having fun which has not been possible in the past as you need someone/something to do the work to keep things going.
