the problem is not whether AI will be good enough to take your job. The problem is the employers are trying their hardest to make it happen, and if will take a "good enough" or even a "bad, but acceptable" level of performance from AI just so they can stop paying employees.

Think about call centers. In the past, you'd call customer support and you'd talk to someone. Now there is a stupid recording that always tells you that "our options have changed, so listen carefully" (LIE) and "due to an unexpected high volume of calls, the wait time will be longer" (LIE, no additional volume of calls), and then you wait hours after a 3 different sets of stupid menus, that usually finish with "did you know you can do this and many other exciting things over the internet? Try self-service at www.ourwebsite.com/support! :) ".

Is that shit even comparable to being able to talk to an actual person in customer support? Hell no. But it was deemed "good enough" to substitute people. And that's not AI.

AI will replace everyone when it is deemed "good enough", even if that means a horrible performance compared to an actual human.
