With regards to taking over jobs, this time it is different. Humans may "specialize in whatever AI does worst", but this is just treading water. Every year, the Venn diagram of uniquely human skills gets smaller as Al/robotics's footprint grows. Using the examples of transatlantic phone calls or e-commerce are false equivalents because these technologies were not simultaneously available, inexpensive, and with low barriers to use. Today, a smart person can watch a 20 min video on Langchain and create an Al app to automate a task in a day. In a year, I'm guessing we'll be able to just ask the an Al app to create a task automating app. The human may have to critique it for a few rounds to get it right, but dont our bosses already do this? Sure, humans are flexible, but they can't compete with a world of motivated people cranking out apps and posting them to Github for the world to improve upon. We currently have a safe harbor in physical tasks, but that will last 5-10 years at the most. Don't get me wrong - the end of scarcity is a good thing, assuming we can successfully make this transition and we aren't wedded to the idea that sharing the benefits (horror of horrors) socialism.
