There seem to be two types of people in the "AI doubter" camp:
1. Educated people who don't really understand how AI works or aren't aware of how quickly it is advancing.
2. Uneducated morons who aren't able to reason cause and effect properly or have any sort of grasp at the scale of the changes happening.
I used to be a doubter, but not anymore.
AI is progressing faster than even the evangelists predicted. With OpenAI's latest release (Sora), you can create any kind of movie or video with a simple text prompt. Just whatever absurd premise you can dream up, it generates a video in any style you like. Or just normal things, like drone shots of a city or coastline.
AI basically killed videographers, drone companies, animators, video editors, photographers, graphic designers and a bunch of related careers overnight. There's no future in those careers; they have about 6-12 months left of viability.
AI is getting very close to being able to solve abstract problems without using the material is was trained on. This is the key point. Soon it will longer relies on data inputs from humans, it will be able to reason on its own.
Lawyers, healthcare technicians, data analysts, accountants, finance workers, copywriters, people working in marketing are next. Better start preparing.
If you disagree, you're not paying attention.
