I think AI exists to make humans better, not to replace us (which it can’t anyway). I use LLM’s with new topics answer questions and tutor me (for instance with multivariable calculus -course this spring I asked Claude to create 10 practice exercises, which I then did and it reviewed. Harder ones it did with me step by step.) hopefully not needing them after awhile, when I gain proficinency. Automating humans away is not going to work. There’s a reason why we are the apex predator and ruled this planet for million years.

You have very optimistic assumptions about AI. Of course AI will not "replace you" on its own, but some person in the company will decide it.

I agree, but it doesn't change the reality that AI is the stated reason for many layoffs.
