Speaker A takes job displacement from AI seriously, pointing to Tesla's humanoid robots as a real near-term threat, while dismissing the idea of AI killing humanity as far-fetched. The distinction between immediate economic danger and distant existential risk shapes how people actually think about AI.
I think in terms of like taking over the world, I think that might take a little longer.
Do you think AI is going to kill us all, take our jobs? What are your thoughts on that?
I think kill us all might— I don't know, that sounds funny, but I don't know. Like, I see the robots, like the Tesla robots. I can definitely see like taking our jobs. I think that's super realistic. But I think in terms of like taking over the world, I think that might take a little longer. I hope it doesn't happen for sure. It's just, I don't know. I think it's getting to a point where that might just be realistic. Like, yeah, it might not be stupid to think that. Yeah, yeah.
