I love the hand-wringing. I can hear the South Park, "They're coming for our jerbs!"

The problem is going to be the what people do with the AI. Imagine our good friends over at Meta setting the AI on its products with the express purpose of driving engagement. Optimize for the maximum possible amount of usage. They already do this but now they'll have AI to make it even better. And then we've got more people wasting their lives on their phones.

Or casinos - have the AI optimize for the maximum possible reaping of gambler money.

Or marketers having AI improve their ads so we just can't keep from clicking on them.

Or script kiddies using AI to compromise systems.

The problem is the people, people.
