Just to get this out of the way, I don't think AI is going to go Skynet on us and deploy nukes.

 The short version of this post is that AI is very accurate and extremely fast.  No humans can compare to the level of efficiency.

 What I've been using it for over the past year is reading research papers, then employing teams of people to analyze the accuracy.  In brief each paper would be read by teams A and B and they would formulate mathematical outcomes of accuracy.  Those results would then be blind-tested for accuracy by Teams C and D.  We did this in 9 countries and used 4 VPN reassignments for every search.

 AI is incredibly accurate.  This makes sense as it has no reason to "spin" the numbers or information within.  It only gets positive learning from accurate assessment, has billions of checks per minute planet-wide, and gets paid nothing for it's end result.

 Yes companies that make AI available get paid, but for the access, not the outcomes.  Like how a company gets paid for the screwdriver it makes, but not for the cars it repairs or the cabinets it helps build.

 Today we ran 400 research papers on Multiple Sclerosis, something that would take 2-3 weeks to do with 4 research teams.  AI did it in two hours.  Avoiding AI is like using pencil and paper for calculus problems instead of a calculator.  There is simply no comparison, and zero reason to use 40 employees/contractors when a software program can do it in hours.

 A large part of my business success has been having very accurate predictions and analysis of events that in turn keep humans alive.  Most of it has been Government training, SS, SF etc. where opinions don't matter, only data is to be taken into consideration, or simply put, people die.  AI will facilitate this in an extremely efficient way.  It wont replace educators, but it will replace the volume of research teams.

What is possible when you link AI to the military?
Or at the stock exchange?
Or a social control system?
I think it is still far too naive to say that AI is a useful tool with only benefits for everyone.

 I don't think anything is only a benefit to all humans, even AI.  I guess if any nation is dumb enough to eliminate humans and let AI run the weapons then we are all doomed.  Or we will all be just fine.

 What I can say is my company is doomed if I don't take full advantage of AI.  I don't really have any direct competitors due to my experience but in certain avenue s AI is opening the door for anyone, without setting foot outside their house, let alone be fired upon on foreign soil, jump on in with pertinent information.

 My real issue is how do I use programs that cut months of work into a day and also try to keep people employed.

AI doesn't change business, AI is a worker, your people have to become managers.
They direct AI to work, and then present the conclusion to the customer.

 The problem is that right now I need 20 people to read through a series of research papers over the course of a week.  AI can do all that in about an hour.  One hour.

 I do not need 20 people to assign AI to read papers, I need one.  So what do I do with the other 19 people?  If there was demand for 10,000 research papers to be read - daily - it would be fine, I could use 19 additional AI management employees, but there simply isn't that level of need.

 It's like having a robot that can change tires at a rate of 500 per hour and can be run/maintained by one mechanic.  It's so efficient in regard to output / maintenance ratio that a single employee can now output 4000 tire changes a day.  How many staff would you need to change 4000 tires a day manually?  

 This is what AI is doing to research and data collection.  

I would like electricity as well as water; and gas too.
There are lots of things AI cannot do, you need a person to do it.
Can AI plug itself in to a power source ? No, it takes a person to make the physical connection.

From what I have read - AI will be a 'helper' instead of a complete replacement for people.  I would expect white collar workers will be expected to know how to utilize AI - just like now, employees are expected to have experience with MS Office.  Knowing how to utilize "ms copilot' will become part of job descriptions

 Interesting AI progress chart

Like anything designed or invented by humans AI will be a double edged sword with many positive and terrifyling negative aspects. As Egore pointed out it will speed up planning and research and probably manufacturing. When combined with robotics as shown in the Tesla robot film, it will enhance space exploration. Personally I don't see humans getting further than Mars. The weponisation potential is frightening, with people like Mr Putin and Kim Il whoever he is undouteby looking at it, as well as the western allies and their friends. The social disruption caused if millions lose their jobs needs to be taken into account as well.
