It’s fair to compare but you can’t dismiss concerns based on that.

Past automation often removed duplicate or superfluous work type things, AI removes thought work. It’s a fundamentally different kind of automation than we’ve seen before.

It will make many things cheaper to do and easier to start some businesses, but it will also decimate workers. It’s also not something that’s generally available to lower classes to wield yet.

It’s here but I don’t have to be optimistic.
