@thomasfuchs You seem very very sure.
I'm also a skeptic, but I am not so sure.
I think an awful lot of BS jobs, like call centers, are at risk from BS AI. Yes, the error rate would go up, but the costs would plummet. Making call centers less useful might be part of the plan...
AI's main threat is to jobs. Automated driving isn't generative AI, but will, eventually, kill nearly all the 10 million or so professional driving jobs in the US and some huge number of jobs elsewhere.
