The problem with the discourse around AI is that people tend to fall for the extremes.
"AI will replace all programmers within 1 year"
vs
"AI is just another fad like NFTs"
Both sides are very obviously wrong, and the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Most people knowledgeable about AI agree that it will eventually surpass humans in all tasks requiring mental labor (and will thus displace those humans, as using AI will be cheaper than employing people), but no one knows exactly when this will happen. I personally believe it will happen within the next 10 years, but it’s really just a slightly educated guess.
