        I appreciate how weird this comment is if you don’t know what computers used to refer to…

        It’s also a good example of how you very much can have technology replace jobs.

          I’m hoping I expanded a few people’s vernacular, or at least vocabulary.

            Huh? What does having some jobs replaced have to do with humanity being replaced?

            Jobs can disappear overnight due to technology updates, and it’s always highly disruptive when that happens. If large sectors suddenly have to find new jobs, then that creates highly stressful environments and people suffer during that transition.

            The reason AI is scary is because it seems to be something that could result in many job losses very quickly without opening any new accessible jobs as working with AI tools isn’t super accessible.

        And computers are basically just complicated calculators.
