You're doing it wrong. You're meant to look at people who are happier than you and think smugly "ha... ignorants!"
I'm surprised they didn't go for their signature move.

The article makes a good point that it's less about replacing a knowledge worker completely and more industrializing what some categories of knowledge workers do.
Can one professional create a video with AI in a matter of hours instead of it taking days and needing actors, script writers and professional equipment? Apparently yes. And AI can even translate it in multiple languages without translators and voice actors.
Are they "great" videos? Probably not. Good enough and cheap enough for several uses? Probably yes.
Same for programming. The completely independent AI coder doesn't exist and many are starting to doubt that it ever will, with the current technology. But if GenAI can speed up development, even not super-significantly but to the point that it takes maybe 8 developers to do the work of 10, that is a 20% drop in demand for developers, which puts downward pressure on salaries too.
It's like in agriculture. It's not like technology produced completely automated ways to plow fields or harvest crops. But one guy with a tractor can now work one field in a few hours by himself.
With AI all this is mostly hypothetical, in the sense that OpenAI and co are all still burning money and resources at a pace that looks hard to sustain (let alone grow) and it's unclear what the cost to the consumers will be like, when the dust settles and these companies will need to make a profit.
But still, when we're laughing at all the failed attempts to make AI truly autonomous in many domains we might be missing the point
A few slaps on the butt (assisted by a carpet beater when the occasion demands it) will usually do it. At least that's how my mom did it with us.

... that's reductive, they have so much MORE potential!
interestingly, $35 millions came from a single donation in $MELANIA memecoins
yes, but which one is more likely to try to invade Sweden, grab the Nobel Peace Prize and take it to Trump with blood still dripping from it?
although, if Trump wants to take over sucking dick in a gay bar..... I mean, he does have a lot of experience with Putin and Netanyahu
Because clearly the US has a trade deficit in movies and entertainment, right?
It's kind of funny (the sad kind of funny) that people with years of legal studies and experience have to meet and formally rule that something blatantly illegal to the point of stupidity is... well... illegal.
"If I have a made-up position that my own government admits is not an official one, can I go ahead and randomly fire thousands of people?"
"A ha! Good question, let's see what my copy of The Legal System for Dummies says!"
The Moon, unprovoked, collided with the Russian vessel that was approaching amicably. An old, whitened but still recognizable USA flag was planted on the Moon's surface, indicating this as a clear act of aggression from the imperialist power
Hedonic threadmill: it's the hypothesis that we tend to a baseline level of happiness and on average, after some time, people who have won the lottery are as happy (or unhappy) as people who have gone bankrupt.
Look at us, we are apes, barely out of trees. We were fighting predators and cold and diseases that no longer exist. Just by being alive, we are the winners of millions of years of genetic lottery, evolution, fights, love and ingenuity.
We have access to most of human knowledge through devices that fit in our pockets, can visit other countries that were legendary to our forefathers, instead of hunting wild beasts we have satellites that guide us step by step to the nearest McDonald's.
Imagine time-traveling a few generations back, describing our life to our grand-grandparents, seeing their eyes grow wide. Now imagine, at the end, telling them how ennui got to us and we can no longer find meaning in our life.
