This technology lowers the entry barrier to almost any field. It empowers self education, creative hacking and growth. Why are you making it sound like a disaster? We can scale our ambitions quickly and absorb the new productivity without losing jobs. We have not solved global warming, poverty or colonised the space. We have to scale AI billions of times. We have to survive the demographic crash. There's plenty of scope for AI to fill in without replacing humans.
> This technology lowers the entry barrier to almost any field.
I am not saying it doesn't. But there is some factor n, that if the productivity increase is n times x in a short amount of time, the world will not evolve as rosily as you are thinking.
> It empowers self education, creative hacking and growth.
Again, I never said anything contrary. But making random new products for which there is no market by self education is not a bright prospect for much of humanity.
> Why are you making it sound like a disaster?
You are welcome to counter my points. I am just enumerating my view of the future.

Are you seeing the same pace of improvements I am seeing? One year ago there was no talk of any such thing, and now we have GPT4
AI might be very good for humanity as a whole over a millennium, but for individual human beings it is hard to say the same.
