We're definitely already there. All the world's knowledge at our fingertips and people are convinced Ice Spice is throwing satanic signs at a ballgame. We're there without AI.
AI has taken the stress off of writing resumes and cover letters for me. I think I'm ok with that extra help.
That's already been done? Since the hiring of "low-skill workers" in automated assembly lines in the early 1900s, people have generally become more uneducated. Less people understand mechanics, electronics, metallurgy, chemistry, etc. It's been a long time coming to see even thoughts being automated.
To believe this is anything new speaks volumes to how ignorant people are of the race to the bottom that is capitalism.
Less educated? No. Less skilled workers in manufacturing and fabrication through automation? Yes. It was part and parcel of cost cutting of labour. Even Charlie Chaplin made a point of it.
In modern times, things have gotten more complex though, because of technological advances. Not that it stopped western "capitalists" from cutting labour costs, by instead opting to outsource labour to communist China.
There's that pesky dialectical materialism showing its ugly face again.
