AI is apparently, to the media, this evil black magic answer generator and job destroyer.

In reality, it's just a pair programmer with incredible brainpower (=computational resources) but no inherent humanness beyond the words it spits back at you in human language.

AI is not going to replace programmers. AI is not going to destroy the economy. The only application of AI that I am worried about is for the military in combat and not a scenario like Terminator or whatever but just impossibly overpowered dumb-sentinels. Contrary to what you may have seen in star wars, droids/drones don't miss. Look it up. They have incredible computing power so they basically are scary accurate at tracking a target and aiming and timing the shot.

But jobs? Things that can be automated? Yeah. Programmers will always have demand in a society that values technology. AI is not magic nor inherently bad. We decide how far we are willing to sacrifice our morals. Remember that.

In all seriousness, embrace AI or you will be left behind.
