Chomsky is a writer. He is probably scared out of his wits that his job will be taken over by a bunch of transformers.

Yes, the 94 years old Noam Chomsky is scared shitless that AI will leave him jobless. This is definitely a sane take on this issue.

The entity that wrote it clearly lacks a world model :)

I doubt he is in a position to care profundly about losing his job. He's a highly successful person. Presumably has made decent bank over the years.

He's not a writer, he's a professor in linguistics. He almost singlehandedly pushed the field towards a more technical analysis and formalisation of grammar suitable for automatic language parsing and translation.

If he isn't retired already, it's only out of personal choice, and not because he's desperate for a job.
