This weekend I had the same conversation twice:
“I’m scared AI will improve and take my job within X months”
I told them how Generative AI is a probability machine which cannot think or understand anything. As such, it cannot “improve” in the way they fear. It’s fundamentally flawed, can’t be held accountable, and was made to increase demand for computing power not meet needs.
If you come across anyone who needs to hear the same, I recommend sharing this article:

(2) Also that article is nearly a year old. Extremely out of date with today's capabilities! It's a fast changing field. There are many new techniques in common use in today's models that didn't exist a year ago. It seems reasonable to assume there will continue to be new techniques in coming months.
