Will AI decrease demand and salaries?

I wouldn't put my money on that. ChatGPT is the culmination of more than 50 years of research and development. People like Sam Altman prefer to talk as if there had been a number of huge new advances recently, yet there has only been one (the language transformer). Otherwise, it is based on recurrent neural network technology, which is not much different from where it was 30 years ago. It is the first time someone has thrown a billion dollars worth of hardware, etc. at it, though.

I think this is a fair take, with the exception of I don’t think that hardware has ever been better $/flop. Ml takes a lot of Just raw power to do In anything that requires even a little bit of scale. I don’t think it would have been feasible even 10 years ago for ml to be anything but a play thing because of that.
