what is cock teasing here? it is very specific and tangible: to do a modern office job, the wagie has to use and pay for ai, most likely chatgpt or its copilot variant. else he gets fired for underperforming or refusing to integrate into the work environment. the usage data is then used to train it for the job the wagie learned over decades. they can "opt out", but of course it won't function as well then. silicon valley 101 is to always intertwine negatives with basic features. same goes for the previous economy: to get data from the internet, the users tolerate profiling, because its hidden that its sold not just for ads, but also for sorting job applications. read the monster.com privacy policy, for example. they collect data from other unspecified sources. it is way more profitable, employers pay thousands for a better match. for the general replacement capability, it's clear that chips are nearing the computation rates to mimic human level association complexity. so it doesn't matter whether they can't do one thing yet, it's just a matter of when hundreds of billions of dollars will find a way. of course there will still be jobs in two decades. but the rapid loss of life investment into education and job skills is unprecedented in peace time.
