I'm pretty sure we've been through this kind of thing before, and I'm also pretty sure AI will just be a part of the future, not replace it.

Have we? I can't think of any previous development that threatened pretty much every form of employment available.

Sure, computers removed a lot of jobs, but they also created a whole new class of them (the ones most people on this site have).

AI will remove that entire class of jobs, too, with nothing new to replace it. For a while, there'll be new opportunities for AI research, but if they actually succeed at improving AI, they'll eventually make themselves redundant, too.

Shit. Are you saying this prompt engineer bootcamp I'm doing is worth squat?

It took me five minutes to write a prompt for GPT-4 that makes it prompt SDXL better than I ever did.

This is actually a funny joke it took me a couple of goes and a quick Google search.
