That's a neat demo. Now explain how you know, "AI that will terraform society and rapidly displace human labor over the coming decades", to be true.

Because I didn't say it will "obsolete" human labor.

You're right that the word "will" is strong in that statement. But, since basically nothing is absolute in a philosophical sense and certainly no one can prognosticate with certainty, it's fair to read that as "will with high likelihood".

And your surgical nitpicking doesn't hamper my argument in quite the way you think it does. Frankly, I believe it's in defiance of the following HN guideline:
