Reply to comment by DyingShell in The CEO of OpenAI had dropped hints that GPT-4, due in a few months, is such an upgrade from GPT-3 that it may seem to have passed The Turing Test by lughnasadh

There are two comments here, first the attack on the quote, fine. The point is we cannot measure time to human level AI in years, but it must be in technological breakthroughs.

Second, yes AI will replace jobs. It's going to be a lot slower than most people predict. However, economies are naturally dynamic. 140 years ago 96% of Americans were involved in agriculture. Today it's more like 1.6%.

Despite that, our economy didn't fall off a cliff. We have hovered at near record unemployment for several years now. Automation and improvement is a normal part of life.

Yeah but you could be over learning that past lesson, which happens at times in history.

The difference between this and say anything else in our existence is the machines can program better machines. We are not needed at that point.
