Prediction: OpenAI/GPT (or Google's DeepMind, if you prefer) is going to cause mass unemployment in certain sectors of the economy (for example, graphic designers, copywriters, and many IT professionals) long before it ever addresses any of the fundamental problems that currently substantially reduce human quality and quantity of life, like aging or cancer.

In the near-term, AI will just accelerate the winner-take-all nature of our economy.

Also, this isn't just an idle prediction on my part; for what it's worth, I've started substantially shifting my net-worth towards the entities I think will be the winners.
