I think that Elon is right about AI scaling and advances reaching a point in five years where you don’t have a computer or phone running applications, AI based applications running on a server will create spreadsheets, run complex programs and pull required data on the fly. Coupled with advances in robotics, this can lead to a major impact on the world of work and what skills are useful. I think like other technology revolutions, there will be a dramatic change, but as before in skill sets and required intelligence to be productive and to integrate with the new society. The idea that no one will work again is faulty thinking; AI is not free, the energy demands are enormous as are the applications of AI to furthering human growth.
it will be like before the cell phone and after the cell phone. All else is drama, hyperbole, confusion, and idle speculation.
