This is, with respect, not very well thought out. There has never been a technology that replaced cognition in a general sense. It replaced muscles, hands, etc. when a technology can replace yourind and your body, what's left?
And/Or, if/when they do replace cognition, there's essentially a "laserbeam of genius" and they'll point it directly at muscles and hands again, to replace physical labor.
Of course, nobody knows where this goes, but as a software developer I have never been more busy. I am still worried, but if software developers go down I imagine much of the white collar world will follow, no?
It doesn't replace your body or your mind.
I'm not talking hypothetically about a generation from now... I'm taking about this person fretting their job today.
We are so far from AI putting everyone out of work that your comment comes off as not well thought out.
What are we talking about here exactly???
