Guys, AI is not doomsday. If anything, it will be a boon to society when it reaches mass adoption. I'm thinking of how much faster we can develop new technologies, how much quicker we can research things. MEDICAL research that can be progressed that much quicker, lives that can be saved, animals rescued from extinction, etc. Hell, even the Computer from Star Trek. All of those things have potential applications with AI.

It's just a new tool. Just like when computers arrived, mathematicians were not replaced just because computers could do the calculations faster. When autotune arrived, artists were not replaced - they just added that to their repertoire.

Yes, some jobs will be lost. Yes, there will be a changing of the guards. That's just the nature of things - it's just how it's always been.
