Hello GrahamTheDev,

thank you for your article.
I enjoyed reading it and your questions in the "What do you think" section are very interesting questions.

Here are my short answers.

"Do you believe we are entering a new age / era?"
Not yet, as society and large corporations are very slow when it comes to change, but I would agree that it is a foreshadowing of things to come.

"Do you think society will change rapidly over the next few years? Or do you believe that AI will change very little?"
No, as I mentioned above, large companies are very slow when it comes to change. Having said that, I would like to say that it also matters what a few years mean, right?!
I'm saying all this because things need to be answered first.

-"What happens to the 'losers' in scoiety who don't benefit from this new change?"

-"Does more productivity bring more wealth to society, that is, is it shared to reduce poverty and increase wealth?"

-"What happens if the new era creates too many unemployed? Who can then buy the products?"

Depending on the impact of the change, I think some governments will stop or slow it down. This could mean that an era that would have come will never come or will come later, like the energy transition from gas/oil to renewable energy.

Cheers!
