I see the real story at the end of the day as "Ai will take a sht load of jobs from everyone until it screws up royally, and then companies will need to rehire at a higher rate...

We keep committing seppuku by emerging technology to where hubris becomes a large scale financial or even a physical crash, and the smartest ones of us avoid the knee jerk reaction to quick over-adoption of new and unpredictable tech. The main problem is that there are so many forces pushing us towards adoption of whatever is packaged and marketed most heavily, and we need to incorporate better rollbacks and ways of gradually adopting new tech. Testing is also a quickly dying art, as seen with Twitter... This will be our downfall if not properly reigned in.

The people (self proclaimed tech leaders) who we exalt have already shown us that they are impulsive, and driven by greed, vanity, and ego. If we continue to let them act as "golden children", and continue to make them more and more wealthy, there will be no going back to fairness in our world. Tax them fairly, hold them accountable, stop letting them influence politics, stop electing rich people and people with conflicts of interest, and let everyone have a voice and equal opportunity to climb into responsibility based on their incremental successes... We're not doing any of that at all right now -- it greatly worries me.
