Similar to how they tout an ai utopia. Who’s going to pay for it? Not them, but their customers will via taxes or whatever. I think the best analogy is oil. Oil companies produce oil everyone else uses it for good and ill. And thus far they’ve not been held responsible for the damage. They should be imo.

Similar to oil the infrastructure to use intelligence on tap will take time to implement be it systems or robots. Ai right now is a bit of a parlor trick imo. Developing ways to use it to actually get work done that humans actually do? Those are hard problems they don’t want to solve themselves. Coding and math are ideally suited work for ai. There’s a decreasing spectrum of jobs ai is suited for.
