AI also isn't close to replacing other industries. They are both wrong.

Only if you confine "ai" to mean an LLM.

Automation has replaced so many jobs already. More to come. Head in the sand won't help anyone.

Today's "AI" is just a buzz word for Machine learning code. ML has been around for a few decades and has been used in predictive analytics for those same decades.

A machine that automates a job in a factory does one thing and never changes from that. It doesn't learn and doesn't make adjustments. When talking about "AI" no one is talking about the robot arm in a factory that does 5 total movements and repeats endlessly.
