The prediction that 50% of entry-level white collar jobs will be taken over by AI is already happening. Even computer programming will be done by AI if not already. Gen-Z programmers don't know how to program using a command line. Instead, they click-and-drag previously developed GUI commands into their programs. They literally have no clue.

I look at all of this is world-wide revenge of the nerds. Too many wedgies given in high school are now raining havoc upon our non-nerd lives. As for human extinction, those who rarely or never use computers in their lives will manage to scrap out, literally, a living from the soil. Back to the Stone Age, folks. Brush up on your flint knapping skills.

This is so creepy. I can’t finish reading it. That’s a good thing. I’m already old and I won’t be around for most of this fallout.
