Yet you claim AI will save the world so will it or won't it?
If you go back and read the first post, you'll see I claimed nothing of the sort; I posted a link to Mark Andreessen's blog post in which HE says that.
It is difficult to forecast just how far into the future. It could be years. It could be decades. It could be centuries.

Factually incorrect. The only people doing that are journalists, who, for the most part, are economic failures.

The Economica Illiteratti have prognosticated such economic rubbish for centuries. It has never worked out that way.

Well if you didn't agree with it then why didn't you say so? It's kind of obvious from your fuurther posting that you do agree with this.
I'm looking forward to using AI. Hopefully it will be better at weeding out bad inputs than I am. You search for any facts on things controversial and it's so hard to get straight facts. Human interface has been no guarantee either. I get my US information mainly from the The Economist published in London to reduce the level of spin....and to remember there are other nations besides the US.
Of course, factually correct information is never a guarantee of popularity and unanimity, but at least I'll know.
I expect AI will be useful in closed ecosystems. In other words, situations where an organization, corporation, or consortium trains the system for a specific purpose. It could be Johns Hopkins making medical diagnoses, the U.S. Army creating domestic defense contingencies, or a pharmaceutical company designing cancer drugs.
With that said, I'm skeptical it will be a net positive for the general public. I expect it will go the way of the internet, which is a mixed bag in my opinion. Some of the conveniences it offers are nice, like paying bills and getting publications online. But much of it has become a cesspool of confusion and conspiracies. It's hard to know the veracity of online reviews, and web searches for consumer products/services tend to send us to suppliers based on profit instead of finding the best match. Etc...
I'm all for it. Of course, those who need some "extra help" the most will be the ones who use it the least...
