Altman Says AI Will Not Eliminate Human Job Opps ....

 Hmmmmmmmm 

AI purveyors are changing their tune on the job apocalypse. Should they be believed?

“I’m delighted to ⁠be wrong about this, I thought there would have been more impact on entry-level white-collar jobs being eliminated by now than ​has actually happened,” Altman told Matt Comyn, the CEO of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, which sponsored the AI conference. “I now think I understand more about why it hasn’t, ​and I’m obviously grateful, but that is an area where my intuitions were just off.”

Similarly, Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, has offered a positive reassessment of his thinking on what an automated future would look like. Instead of eliminating half of white-collar jobs as he previously claimed, Amodei now says that AI would be a productivity booster.
