AI is very efficient when you ask them to do a specific, one-objective task. It has no independence whatsoever, that's why it cannot _replace_ humans. This is evident for anyone using AI routinely.
Of course this doesn't mean we may need less amount of humans for certain jobs, or that I'm the future AI will gain new abilities.
One human needs to teach one AI system how to do one specific task. Everyone can now use this. Before you had to teach every single human having to do this task and the next generation.
You can easily gather a group of humans and teach them all at once. Humans learn and generalize far more effectively than an AI, we have millions of years of evolution working in our favor here. Will AI match us at this one day? Maybe, but it's certainly not today.
I really don't think you grasp the scale of how much money it costs us to teach people to do things like programming.
A student costs roughly 20.000 Euros per year (university salaries, heating, maintenance of the buildings)
The student themselves has to pay at least 12.000 Euros per year (food, rent, public transport).
5 years of univeristy costs a minimum of 150.000 Euros.
Alone in germany we have 40.000 finishgin their degree per year which is 6 billion Euros EVERY YEAR.
Training one Frontiermodel costs 60x less than just the german university people studying it. ONCE.
This is the reason why the godfather of AI quit is job to talk about this: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UccvsYEp9yc" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UccvsYEp9yc

Do you think the global education system is easy? Or efficient? Or cheap?
Its not.
And the higher education systems around our globe ar neither.

Its the scale which makes this crazy.
We reached peak human personal teaching.
