What exactly are you betting? That some workers won't be replaced by automation? Because that's already happening today..
We'd have to hammer out the exact numbers, but I'd bet against that quote I pasted claiming that marketing, sales, software, and R&D are going to be automated away.
Many a tech writer is anxious over AI and I keep telling them they'll just become junior editors. I don't care how good the AI is. If you take it at face value and publish, get ready for human driven rewrites.
No company will allow basic AI, open to others, to exist and learn in their private ecosystem. Just look at Samsung with dumb employees using AI for meeting minutes. I wonder how much info OpenAI or someone else got from that.
Yeah, I think this is more likely. Our jobs will just become increasingly joyless and miserable.
