Given the garbage-in/garbage-out problem of currently popular crops of AI, I'd say you have a long fruitful 45y of work ahead of you in any field you choose.
And in general, the higher educated you are, the safer you are from technology-driven disruptions in the economy.

It’s astounding how you are not aware of the categorical differences between von Neumann architecture based machines and the brain.
Simple linear algebra algorithms like chatGPT are not even close to be comparable to our wet ware. The jury is still out if our brain functions are even computable (in the computer science sense)
So, cut down the hype and appreciate what chatGPT is and isn’t. It is not a stepping stone to an AGI. It is a great text completion engine.

even your brain is not a text completion engine. Don't get fooled by ChatGPT. It is very far removed from what a human brain can do.
It excels the human brain at one thing and one thing only: Remembering the 570 gigabyte of data poured into it.

It’s almost as if it would just be a text completion engine … which it is.

If you can’t reason about language you can’t understand it. ChatGPT is the operator.

You can’t just measure how well or interesting a text completion engine spits out words and proclaim it has “mastery”. Frankly that is BS.

The operator doesn’t know Chinese. Do I need to spell out the analogy to chatGPT?
ChatGPT is great at word embeddings and completion but is an otherwise dumb algorithm. Comparing that to human’s ability to express themselves with language is useless.
I mean if you don’t get the Chinese room experiment you might think Eliza is a master of psychology.

The current models have not mastered language at all. They don’t know grammar. They just complete text.
It’s like claiming you know Spanish because you can pronounce the words and “read” a book. You can utter the sounds correctly but you have no clue what you are reading.

Isn’t it immediately obvious to you that chatGPT just replaced whatever was in the original text fragments with “pyramid” ? How can you ever trust such answers ?

Good. Now build more of them and then some more.

So much fearmongering. What is going to do? Stop me from pulling a plug? Get real.
We can't write bug-free software, but somehow AI all of a sudden knows how to take over devices and propagate and such? Lol

These are cults. Plain and simple.
At the end of the day, someone needs to haul your trash someplace i.e. you don't exist in a vacuum. You are embedded in a society that doesn't care about your smart contracts.
I hope you can get out before the indoctrination has absorbed you completely.
