Of course, this is going to have enormous economic implications, far more than it already has. OpenAI, for example, is increasing its revenue at a rapid pace. This isn't a matter of whether you like it or not. Everyone is going to use AI, and if your company doesn't, it will go bankrupt because all the others will (obviously, there are exceptions to this, for example, if you're the only baker in a remote village). If you're an individual, pretty soon not using AI will be like not using the internet or not using mobile phones.
I'm starting this thread so we can discuss the topic, and I'm eagerly waiting for the Luddites to chime in with their nonsense so I can have a friendly debate with them, lol.
Back in the 1960s and 1970s, there was some set of people who criticized the use of computers. There were also arguments in some fields that the computer could lead to a psychological disorder called technophobia. Others fear that computers will lead to massive jobs. Hence, there is a need to protect humans from job losses. Currently, these concerns have been reduced, and almost everyone is using a computer.
The same thing is happening today with the use of artificial intelligence. However, the truth is that any individual or organization that fails to integrate AI into its operations will not be competitive and might become obsolete.
AI agents is indeed a revolutionary discovery that will help reduce workload and the cost of running businesses. It will also lead to job losses but those who are able to add the use of AI to their skills will easily get new jobs..
