For now. But how about 5 years from now? or 10? or 15?

Given what things looked 10 years ago, and what was revolutionary back then (ImageNet challenge) - it's hard to comprehend what state of the art will look like 10 years from now.

I’m saving and investing like I only have 10 more years of work before AI takes my job.

Either I’ll be well prepared for unemployment or I’ll have plump investment accounts and still be employed. Good outcome regardless.

Agreed. The network architectures have evolved so much in the past few years alone. Imagine what they can do in just 5 years if they can embed domain-specific knowledge to the current “dumb” statistical word guessers. Ten years is truly unimaginable.

I’m not expecting the singularity within that timeframe nor do I think we need it for lots of disruption in knowledge-based work. Still, I’m leaning towards a near future where these AI tools augment our capabilities more than the alternative where we lose all our jobs.
