Your example regarding scientific papers is indeed valid and demonstrates that AI is still a long way off from handling complex calculations and scientific research. However, the discussion here isn’t about scientific inquiry, but rather about the replacement of humans in simpler roles a process that is already underway…

Art and music deserve a post of their own. I need to share my thoughts on that, too. I feel deep hatred and anger toward the creators and the fact that corporations simply scrape millions of artworks and music tracks to train their neural networks without ever asking the artists for permission, they basically stole other people’s work for free just to train a tool and sell it back to the public

That last point perfectly illustrates why they are so eager to invest in AI. There is a concept from game theory - specifically the Prisoner’s Dilemma and the Nash Equilibrium - where it benefits a small group of individuals to initiate an action that yields short - term gains for them, even though it makes things worse for everyone in the long run. I doubt corporate giants seriously consider the fact that implementing AI is essentially shooting themselves in the foot by suppressing consumer demand for their own products.

Because they genuinely believe in their own superiority and greatness over ordinary people, I’m more than certain they truly see themselves as being ahead of the rest of the planet and think about how great they are, without ever stopping to consider the consequences for themselves.
