Another hand waver saying “AI will replace all humans”. Is as much a theory as saying if the earth turns 3000c hot, everything will perish, and I don’t dispute that in a few billion years.
The problem with the theory is there are vast variables and unknowns in the timeline that matters, but they are just saying it will come very soon. The how is a simple “If AI replaced all cognitive work” which sounds exactly same as “If earth becomes 5000F hot”.
Is the same lazy posit they all make.
