Indeed. There’s definitely a bit of that in there, no doubt. But I think, after reading it, that it’s one of those articles that might off on some details but is in the ballpark in terms of trajectory.
The trajectory is simple: everyone is hooked on paid AI subscription and loses the skill of thinking and learning. The models are proprietary and cloud-only. Everything you input is also monetized. The end.
If AI takes over everything even remotely in the radius of "knowledge work" and leaves 25% of workers jobless, where is all the demand for this new "productivity" going to come from. Robots buying stuff from each other? Our benevolent billionaire overlords stepping up their consumption to compensate?
