Not just that the next generation of experts will hypothetically be employed as baristas, but I don't think people take the risk of deskilling enough. The next generation of would-be experts won't be as good at whatever because they've learned to rely on AI. We risk effectively transferring valuable skills from humans to Musk- or Altman-owned chatbots. That should horrify everyone.

    Ok, maybe not literally baristas. But my point is that the next generation of experts simply will not exist, because all the entry level jobs are evaporating. All of them. Just ask any group of college graduates with a tech degree about how hard the job market is right now.

    Not disagreeing at all. The mass unemployment of a bunch of industries is terrible. I'm just saying the other side of the coin is also terrible, that we're heading towards a world where humans have lost the ability to perform important skills to (potentially hostile) chatbots (owned by billionaires) that we won't be able to properly manage or oversee. That's the flip side of most 'positive' AI stories: 'AI is better at detecting early breast cancer... And the doctors that use AI have gotten worse because of it.'
