But what is happening is that we are trying to make AI do jobs that are too hard for a human being, at the moment AI is not here to replace us human beings but rather to assist us at difficult tasks. That's how I would put it.
I would be inclined to disagree with you here.
Let's take the most popular example of where AI would replace humans, the transport industry. About 2 000 000 people are employed in this industry. When the autos (AI cars/trucks) become publicly available most of these people will lose their job. Their wages account for about 33% of transport companies expenses. Further most white collar jobs are easily replaceable by AI's as they are very repetitive in nature. Professions are a little harder to replace with AI's but, if we look in the health field, there are already AI's being used to diagnose cancer. These AI¨'s would also have a better understanding and would better be able to give a person the drugs that they need, without them interfering. Lawyers aren't safe either as most of their job is reading through documents and finding the needle in the haystack.
I do however agree that AI taking over all our jobs is quite a bit into the future, and that computer science will be one of the last fields standing. Because if an AI is able to make other better AI, that would end in a super powerful AI, that can make an AI for everything else.
