David Sacks says the doomsday scenario of AI wiping out jobs is 'overhyped'
Briefly

Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is viewed as AI achieving human-like reasoning. David Sacks, the White House AI czar, believes that AI technology has not progressed as rapidly as anticipated. He emphasizes that while AI shows improvements in quality and usability, fears of job loss and apocalyptic scenarios are exaggerated. Sacks points out that AI currently depends heavily on human input for effective operation, suggesting that concerns about losing jobs to AI are unfounded. Instead, individuals may lose jobs to those who leverage AI more effectively.
AI hasn't progressed as quickly as many have predicted; specifically, the idea that AI will 'self-improve' and rapidly achieve 'godlike superintelligence' has been blown out of proportion.
Sacks rejected the fear that AI will lead to massive job losses, stating that AI relies on a lot of human input for prompts and for verification.
The truism that 'you're not going to lose your job to AI but to someone who uses AI better than you' is holding up well.
There is strong improvement in quality, usability, and price/performance across the top AI model companies, which indicates significant engineering progress.
