This point is exactly why I'm so wary of AI being used a crutch in rapid time rather than a tool for gradual improvement. I'm very sceptical of the benefit of this new paradigm we're about to be ushered into, and that's not even thinking about the possibility of a rogue AI/Paperclip maximiser.

Gen Z are the most depressed generation, despite having free/cheap access to the collective cultural output of humanity , more freedom to love who they want and choose what path they want in life than ever before, better working conditions than in all of human history, the cleanest air since before the industrial revolution. Yet vast swathes of gen z and other generations are fucking miserable because the medium that is supposed to make us better connected is making us more atomised and lonely and fearful.

That's suddenly going to change for the better when most jobs have been eliminated? We're all going to live fulfilled lifes and go jet skiing and have peace and harmony when our government and/or benevolent AI overlord pays us our NEETbux?
