But he says it confidently, and that's all that matter.

I wish this wasn't so true.

Forget taking over my job. AI is headed straight for the C suite.

Tech CEOs or AI?

Just kidding, I know it is both.

I work in a technical field, and the amount of bad work I see is way higher than you'd think. There are companies without anyone competent to do what they claim to do. Astonishingly, they make money at it and frequently don't get caught. Sometimes they have to hire someone like me to fix their bad work when they do cause themselves actual problems, but that's much less expensive than hiring qualified people in the first place. That's probably where we're headed with ais, and honestly it won't be much different than things are now, except for the horrible dystopian nature of replacing people with machines. As time goes on they'll get fed the corrections competent people make to their output and the number of competent people necessary will shrink and shrink, till the work product is good enough that they don't care to get it corrected. Then there won't be anyone getting paid to do the job, and because of ais black box nature we will completely lose the knowledge to perform the job in the first place.
