AI isn't replacing people, its just making skilled workers somewhat faster and better at their jobs.

The primary motivation of most CEOs for adopting AI is to replace as many salaries as possible. If it has other useful uses, that's great, but the primary corporate dream is to increase profits through job replacement.

Which isn't happening. AI can be run autonomously for simple tasks, but not the complex ones which are actually what costs the most. The quality of LLM output depends on the quality of input. GIGO holds.

That's neither what its being sold as nor is it a reflection how tomorrow's capabilities are being advertised.

And that is why the collapse of current hype is inevitable.

It will become hopium that you'll end up sell your kids to be raped by the Epstein class because you're so desperate for a bowl of hot soup to stave off starving to death.

I have no idea what you are trying to say.

That people are only going to be more desperate.
