> the people who are grasping for some indication that AI can’t do everything have become increasingly desperate. If you push hard enough, the answer is inevitably something like “the AI simply cannot [dream, love, laugh],”

Dogshit strawman article. I am willing to concede that a token predictor is better than you at whatever task you can dream up. It is not better than me, and will never be better than me, at my profession.

New is never normal.

I stopped reading when the author became overwhelmed by their compulsion to blame everything in the universe to the current US president.

I think what you are missing is that it will dramatically lower the cost of living so that everyone’s standard of living increases. It’s not about jobs.

that's not how it works. you get better tech for the same or more work and you can work longer before you die.

if you are no longer needed, you won't be allowed to live.

makes me chuckle every time folks think humans who get to power are nice.

This is flat out wrong. The problem is excessive taxation and government spending beyond its means that lowers everyone's standard of living.
