Heavy doubt on this one.

There is still so much misunderstanding on the state of AI and its potential based on current technology (spoiler: reduce your expectations significantly). How can you expect anyone to make predictions with such misunderstanding.

That said it kinda seems like a financial crash is already happening, regardless of AI.

I think it's tech illiterate people being amazed by chat gpt and shit, not realizing just how janky and limited it's actual "artificial intelligence"actually is.

I don't know why everybody keeps downplaying where AI is already at and the speed at which it is improving. It can already disrupt multiple industries with where image, voice, and LMM AI is at right now.

For me personally it's not that I want to downplay it, it's that I want to balance the scales. I see far more over-estimating of AI happening than downplaying.

The current form of AI is great as a tool and sadly there are definitely jobs out there that are nearly completely replaced by this tool. But that scope isn't about to change much based on where we are currently at. Many jobs require actual intelligence to make judgment calls, and the current form of AI just isn't going to cut it here as it has no real intelligence.

Of course, that won't stop dumb business leaders from still trying to use AI here, but that's an error in judgment that imo will correct itself over time.
