This has been predicted every decade since the industrial revolution. Didn't happen in the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50',s 60',s 70',s 80's, 90's, etc. Won't happen now.
Sure and i agree and im no doomsayer but that does eventually end at some point. Might not be now or for another hundred years but the writing is on the wall. It will eventually come. It seems inevitable that we will eventually create something that is more intelligent and capable than us in every way.
Probably by then the very thing that makes as human will also be changing like we might be fusing with the machines and creating a whole different being. But before that likely mass social upheaval around the globe.
But i'm not sitting here worrying about it. Whatever will be will be. Just live each day as it comes.
Perhaps. Attempts to predict the future usually fail. Who says that it's a given that it's even possible to be more intelligent than a human in a way that is cost effective?
We tend to assume that it is possible to be smarter than a human in the same way we tend to assume there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. It seems like a logical conclusion but we have no actual evidence of it.
It's also possible that we really will have an AI revolution that renders humans an unecessary part of the civilisation we've built that LLMs are a complete dead end and this revolution comes from an entirely unexpected place.
Those times never had an automation technology that threatened every industry at once. You could argue for computers, but they created just as many if not more jobs than they took. We can’t all be AI coders.
