@Gargron As always, there will be enormous benefits, for a small percentage of the population. Whether the benefits flow on to the rest of the economy, at the global, national, and local levels remains to be seen.
The eventual benefits of the industrial revolution, which took away jobs, and disrupted the economy, are the very foundation of our current, technological world.
The fact that those same changes to the economy also cause climate change, waste on a truly horrendous scale, the poisoning of the air and water, should not be overlooked. So even if AI eventually becomes an economic boon to the world, it may well still be to the detriment of the planet.
Or maybe I just think the sky is falling.
