>This joke is funny because it plays with expectations. The setup of the joke establishes a situation where people from different faiths (a Christian, an atheist, and a Muslim) are coming together and enjoying a drink in harmony, which is unexpected and somewhat surprising. The punchline then takes this unexpected situation and adds another layer of surprise by highlighting the unexpected commonality between the three people (their love of beer).

I don't think we can really judge very well what they have in the pipeline without working there. Also speed isn't everything. If they are a bit slower but end up coming out with the absolute best chat AI, they will get their users right back.

Well, there is a difference between some advanced chat AI replacing the current google search and ChatGPT replacing it. I doubt Google will go down without a fight. If that's where search is heading, Google will 100% have their own chat AI and given their resources it will probably be among the best there is.

I really really doubt this is true. You might think that now but when it actually happens, I think you will care. And if not then I guarantee you the vast majority of people will, which affects you too.

I'm literally from Germany, you seriously don't know much about Europe if you think this is a US-specific problem. The idea that millions of people become unemployed with almost no chance to be hired anywhere because their skillset has basically become obsolete scares the shit out of me. Redistribution of income will do very little to alleviate this because people want to be productive. They want to be valued.

I'd love to hear some explanations in the comments. I went with somewhat pessimistic as mix between absolutely terrified and somewhat optimistic. I think AIs will make our lives somewhat better in many areas and considerably better in a few areas. But it will also mean unemployment for millions of workers (e.g. truck drivers, taxi drivers, maybe also graphic designers...) which can become a huge problem, both economically and politically.
