  1. Sooner or later AI will take all the jobs, we cant compete. First will be the white collar jobs, then the blue collar and artistic jobs. There is no field we will be able to compete in indefinitely. AI will be better at data entry, manual labor, running the company, writing a better novel. No job is safe, and its a good thing. What we need to do is have an adult conversation about purpose (which we wont), and some sort of universal basic income and what a post economy economy will look like, and get ready for things to start to get real silly.

  2.  @gamer-ff6mh  I guess everyone can just play sports for a job then. That's assuming people in he future wont have better things to do with their time then watch sports

  3.  @Godfrey544  We are at the bottom of a line that goes straight up. Most mid level white collar jobs could already be eliminated (and along with them most mid level managers) it's mostly just lack of knowledge and inertia that keeps things going as they are. I'm not able to predict what's actually going to happen, nobody is this is uncharted territory. What we've seen so far is pre Wright brothers stuff, contraptions that have no hope of flying, then all of a sudden 60 years later were on the moon. Only the rise of AI will be much faster and much more disruptve then flight. Already ChatGPT scores in the top 10% on the bar exam, meaning that for 90% of the population its more optimal to talk to AI then to an actual lawyer. Art, which at one point we thought the realm of humans turns out to be pretty easy for AI and its only a matter of time before we start seing AI books, video games and films, complete with AI actors. The last bastion will be blue collar work as our robotics development is behind our AI so far, but once we are able to ask AI for blueprints (and it can already code so I dont think this is that far off) things will change drastically even for blue collar workers. Kurzweil still thinks we'll have super intelligence by 2029, i've seen other's in the field predict anywhere from 5 years to 18 months. People get hung up on concousness for AGI but as one person put it, who's name I unfortunately forget. It doesn't matter so much what AI thinks, but what it can do.

  4.  @jimmcneal5292  You may be rght. Though I think people get hung up on understanding and conciousness. It doesn't matter so much what an AI understands all that matters is what its capable of. Kurzweil still thinks we'll have super inteligence by 2029, i've seen some estimates that put AGI from 5 years to 18 months off. I've seen other predictions that by 2030 unempoyment will be 70%. I have no idea what the future will actually look like, nobody does. But like I said in my OP things are about to start getting real silly.
