It is not that AI is replacing humans directly, what is happening is that humans who have not learned how to use AI for productivity is getting obsolete and the ones that knows how to use AI for productivity gets marketable in a wide range of industry. This is the future but we are already at the doorsteps.
Before, it's only the engineers that is suffering from the half-life problem. Now, society is slowly entering this same problem for everyone.
Some will argue that this is only true for computing based systems but not in the physical reality. The problem is this, there has been several milestones or revolutions in the industry brought by AI or LLMs in particular and that already happened since ChatGPT came, and right now the continuation is on the Physical AI.
That means the future will be replete with robots powered by AI Models, we call them Physical AI and they will be a force multiplier to human workforce and indeed, this might well be the real proof that indeed AI is replacing humans. Not yet a full scale scenario but it is happening.
The only choice we have is to embrace AI and evolve into an AI-Human fused individual.
