What is the value of saying this when ChatGPT was released in 2022? There’s no way there’s enough data to make any meaningful extrapolation about anything.

To get onto Hacker News and other social media sites for marketing exposure?
The current narrative is that AI is displacing jobs.

Similar to the current post there’s just not enough data to be conclusive.

Current narrative where?

I don't see this narrative being more prominent than the "AI won't be displacing jobs because things worked out in the past" counternarrative.

For example, only recently has The Economist published articles that go more towards that narrative (AFAIK) [1].

> there’s just not enough data to be conclusive.

With this, I can agree. We can still extrapolate based on what we currently know.
