And yet some people think AI will take over jobs. I am amazed this robot was not in place 20 years ago. Really ?

I don't understand why people still express doubt about this - AI already is and has been taking over jobs.

It's really about the hype that is the problem and that people often mean LLMs when they say AI.

LLM isn't going to drive a forklift; it needs more agency than a textbox in order to do that.

But it's really going to be products (ex. Microsoft Word) rather than a technology (ex. Electricity) that'll replace jobs (ex. Typists).
