> Remember how a decade and a half ago everyone was convinced that taxi drivers and truck drivers would be replaced by AI in the coming years?

I remember that as an AI-car company driven hype cycle that was used to justify beta testing their cars on public roads. According to them, traffic Jams were supposed to be a solved problem and everyone would be making 20k/yr leasing out their car as a robotaxi.

With that said, the impact of AI is not equal across different industries.
