Despite advancements in AI capabilities, fears of mass unemployment due to AGI are unfounded; we are not at that point yet.

While AI has been discussed for many years, its adoption outside consumer software remains limited, with most value still concentrated in areas like advertising and web search.

Despite the advancements, society is cautious about adopting AI technologies, as seen with self-driving cars, which are statistically safer but face public skepticism.

Despite concerns about AI automation, many startups are successfully integrating AI into workflows, often reducing the need for human oversight as customers become more comfortable with the technology.

The expectation versus reality of AI adoption is often skewed; while expectations are high, the actual capabilities of current models may not meet those expectations, leading to a rapid adjustment in perception as models improve.

The short-term job displacement due to AI is imminent, and many people are either in denial or doing nothing about it.

Job postings for automation-prone jobs are declining, while manual-intensive jobs remain more stable, indicating a shift in the job market due to AI.

The future of AI will likely lead to increased demand for human work, as AI tools will enhance productivity rather than replace jobs, similar to how self-driving technology has evolved.

Despite expectations of a slowdown, AI advancements have continued to accelerate over the past three years.
