While I believe, that we are still quite far away from a generic artificial intelligence, the pattern reproduction automatons known as LLMs we have right now already are a threat. Not on the scale of global warming, but a big social threat. Even the quite flawed implementations we see in the market at the moment, make it hard for people to get entry level jobs. And without entry level jobs, where to senior positions come from?
Jobs in service areas are under pressure as well as creative jobs we believed to be safe. In the end the question might be if the human or the computer is cheaper.
I find this all very short-sighted, but alas this hasn’t stopped humanity so far. Should AI stay around even only as it is right now, politics have to address to issues that arise from it - and they won’t without big pressure. We can all see how well social solutions to problems are doing at the moment…

Well, that’s one of those “nobody anywhere has any idea” things. But I have to say, the more attention and money we spend on LLMs, the longer it will probably take to make any useful generic intelligence. No idea if that’s good or bad either.

Those jobs are being destroyed by government policy. The only thing LLMs are currently able to do is spam, it can’t replace people on any other activity.

They aren’t a threat. The system that manages them (capitalism) is a threat, and has been emboldened by this rampant fairytale bullshit.
