Firstly, is this guy an in any way qualified to talk about AI? If not, I don’t see why we should trust him about it; he’s just one of the many self-proclaimed experts really knowing nothing about the topic. A few things I think are relevant here:
AI could only potentially replace cognitive jobs.
“AI” like ChatGPT is only ruminating on its training data, so it cannot drive innovation, only do jobs where information is already available.
As with all innovation making human work obsolete, it is only really a bad thing if we allow its benefits to be unevenly distributed.
