Overseeing robot is a time limited activity. Even building robot has a finite horizon.

Current tech can't yet replace everything but many jobs already see the horizon or are at sunset.

Last few time this happened the new tech, whether textile mills or computers, drove job creation as well as replacement.

This time around some component of progress are visibile, because end of the day people can use this tech to create wealth at unprecedented scale, but other arent as the tech is run with small teams at large scale and has virtually no related ondustries is depends on like idk cars would. It's energy and gpus.

Maybe we will be all working on gpu related industries? But seems another small team high scale job. Maybe few tens of million can be employed there?

Meanwhile I just dont see the designer + AI job role materializing, I see corpos using AI and cutting the middleman, while designers + AI get mostly ostracized, unable to raise, like a cran in a bucket of crabs.

_Where?_ so far the only technology to have come out widespread for this is to shove a chatbot interface into every UI that never needed it.

Nothing has been improved, no revelatory tech has come out (tools to let you chatbot faster don’t count).

Honestly, this comment sounds like someone dismissing the internet in 1992 when the web was all text-based and CompuServe was leading-edge. No "revelatory tech" just yet, but it was right around the corner.

In the backend, not directly customer facing. Coca cola is two years in running ai ads. Lovable is cash positive, and many of the builder there are too. A few creators are earning a living with suno songs. Not millions mind but they can live off their ai works.

If you dont see it happening around you, you're just not looking.

So, a company cutting costs, a tool to let you chatbot faster, and musical slop at scale.

This doesn't sound like "creating wealth at unprecedented scale"

		imagine how unimaginative one must be to reduce lovable at a chatbot. that or you're not making an argument in good faith.
