AI wont replace your job. Companies like squarespace do what AI does for web, but a million times better, and even that hasn’t replaced your job.

What we refer to as “AI” as it stands is all smoke and mirrors. It’s a different UX over essentially a search engine.

There’s a school of thought that says what we have now can be scaled up to levels which create an emergent property of reasoning and thought (which indeed would replace all of our jobs), but there has been literally 0 evidence of this, with hundreds of billions poured into the field. And the incentives are very much there for AI researchers to keep pushing this narrative that GAI is close.
