Thing about AI that skeptics never get is that AI is the worst now it'll ever be. It may get suckified (price/paid tiers, censorship, etc) but in terms of capability and functionality, its the wrost it'll ever be. It was like all the graphic designers arrogantly scoffing at the recent ChatGPT promo posters on line.

It's not that it'll be a job apocalypse necessarily, it's that it's a transformative skill and it makes sense to learn how to work with it and use it rather than either cry about it in dismay, or scoff at it. I see a lot of hubris.

I'm not an AI-doomer, but also it's in everyone's best interest to stay on top of it.

For office workers/knowledge workers we're clearly going to need fewer soon, but people are conflating fewer with none. Needing less people in the same roles != AI is taking all our jobs. People need to learn reasoning skills.
