When the first machine was invented, people thought workers could take it easy. But what happened? More factories appeared, the workload increased, and capitalists were all smiles, while workers still had to toil away. When computers first came out, we thought we could say goodbye to pen and paper. But what happened? Now, we can't even go to the bathroom without taking our laptops, afraid of missing an email. And don't even get me started on phones—we thought they would broaden our horizons, but our view has shrunk to the size of a screen. Many jobs are now completed with AI assistance, and tasks that used to take three days now have to be done in one. Keynes once said that by the end of the 20th century, technological advancement would reduce the average workweek to 15 hours, but maybe only the Nordic countries have achieved that.

There was a time in 2010 when I was seeing articles like "by 2025 we will start to see flying cars around" and we are just 69 days to that year and we are yet to see that such things. I'm not saying AI are not threat to mankind jobs but let's take things slow and reduce the rate at which this AI is hype like it's going to revolutionize the world, it will but not as we are expecting and there is much needed to bring AI to reality for them to take way human jobs.

Do also remember there is going to be a AI regulations to how AI are going to be use, there was robot evolution one time but the law state aside isn't making it progress as many people want, similar will be implemented for AI and don't forget that not everyone will be able to afford AI, it will be too expensive for many that human will be their best shot as alternative.
