I too made a post like this on here not that long ago. The point i was trying to make was to be AI knowledge first. The tools are here and someone has spent lots of money(foolishly yess!, But) creating this tools, so why not use them to your advantage. The one's that wait too long find themselves playing catch up on the next big thing that's comes of it. This is a phase that will blow over and in that process there is something cooking. Think of it as the stepping stone to the next era into the future. The future isn't created on its own, we must push for it. Hope doesn't do much in creating innovative advancements.

Before the smartpphones we have today there was touch pad LCD products all fighting for what now we call smartphones, that came with heavy innovative techniques to achieve a goal. The goal wasn't evident nor clear at the time.

This will lead to something else that is far more useful and could be harmful in many ways not just to employment.Economies are changing like never before transformational force are changing our lives as we speak. housing prices, Wages, Technology, Political Power, Warfare, ideologies, the list goes on. AI is the starting point in this new era. Choosing to use silly words like " This is not how we used to do things: no shit, we also used to ride horses and sacrifice virgins for it to rain. I don't know when people will ever get this ( The world is ever evolving) that is what humans do.

Having a say so and a control in what is harmful and what is helpful is just as equally important.
