I appear to be only one who wants nothing to do with this stuff.
I feel a bit like an anti-vaxxer when it comes to this tech, except I suspect I'm right and that some of the horror stories people told about vaccines could essentially come true because of AI.
I was only joking

You will be replaced either by this stuff or by someone who does a lot of things with this stuff. But it's OK, you're nearing retirement and you said you will get a pension. All good for you!

I feel like a late adopter. A few weeks ago I had my moment where I had a large spreadsheet with a bunch of technical certifications associated with each person but each certificate had a different name, like "AWS Cloud Practitioner" or "Amazon Certified Cloud Practitioner" with the variation x100 so I just uploaded the file to
Gemini and told it to give me a standardized list of titles so there's only one way to display a specific certification, and it did the work in about 5 minutes which saved me a few hours. Not only that but it referenced the industry-standard naming conventions (via web references) so it was actually a better output than if I had put my best guess on it.Anyway...........at that point I was like, why not have a digital servant ready to handle tedious tasks at my right side when I'm at work? I also use it as a super google search... like asking it for the best type of query for a specific software I use for big data, and it gives me the best query to use.

I think the existential risk or other sorts of risks remain whether or not you choose to avail yourself of the personal advantages of AI.
Education is extremely important.

Yes, clearly. That doesn't mean I need to embrace the soulless machine.
I did notice at work that a number of the first people using AI were those who I would have privately and quietly describe as "B-players". I daresay in a year or two we'll all be using the fucking thing. I just hate hearing how much better it's going to make my life, when clearly it's not.
20 years from now nobody will know how to do much of anything other than ask software to solve problems for them.
-
I have yet to avail myself - voluntarily at least- of the technology. Much prefer to do my own sleuth work sifting and sorting as I have always done in past. Despite my preference, I do not see AI as an existential threat, let alone a risk to civilisation although it could very well end up as a all too convenient crutch for young adults looking to be spoon fed knowledge and too lazy to develop research skills on their own.

It's not just inquisiviteness, it will lead to nobody being able to actually do anything.
I know people (OK, I've seen people on the internet) who think that becoming good at Guitar Hero on the Playstation is essentially the same as learning to play a musical instrument. Suno is already trying to persuade us that real creativity is using their bloody software, which is a bit like claiming that Count Franz von Walsegg zu Stuppach is the real creative genius behind Mozart's Requiem.
I guess I'm filling in for Aqua. I miss that guy.

The ability to critically think without instantaneous answers or prompts will be a rarity for sure. Teachers have already said it's a very dim future regarding that specific skill.

It's already noticeably harder to find good candidates who don't spend half the day looking at their phones. This isn't going to help, however we've now got software to surf the internet for us, so it won't matter.

I’m old enough to remember when elementary schools freaked out about the existence of inexpensive calculators.
It’s also typical that people take some time to realize that they don’t need to teach people as if the new ubiquitous technology doesn’t exist.
In NY some driver’s road test proctors cover your back up mirror when you parallel park even though they have been mandated in all US cars for a decade.
