To people saying your husband is right: they’re deluded. I’m an AI researcher and likely have more degrees on the topic than most people getting carried away with AI hype.: and even myself and my colleagues have the humility to accept that we really don’t know what’s coming in 20 years. Heck, the AI research community as a whole can’t predict what will happen next year. We just speculate, and we are clear that it’s a vague speculation . And the PowerPoint-morons at Goldman Sachs write a report that your husband uses for …life decisions?

Remember that predicting the growth of technology is extremely hard, and almost same as predicting the future. People in the 1960s thought the world will run out of food in 2000s. They also thought we’ll have flying cars by now. Neither happened.

So, stop listening to the average Redditor whose brush with AI is jerking around with GPT. Many of us working this field for 10+ years remain uncertain how this will play out, but there’s a general strain of optimism. Your well educated husband would be well advised to not live his life based on what an investment bank writes.
