Oh the people with jobs in peril, they are definitely in a state of denial about the state of AI. It’s easier to accept when your survival doesn’t depend on your ability to think and do things.
On a funnier note the people who believe they are genetically superior to others and naturally smarter, those people probably won’t accept this at all
The people who think they're genetically superior to other people seem to be the very biggest AI boosters of all, I'm not sure how to read your post here.
Out of curiosity, what jobs do you think can be replaced by AI?
The ability to accomplish tasks is not in and of itself an indicator of intelligence, and “intelligence” in the context of AI is a misnomer.
