It can't be stopped. Kids going to college to learn a field should be just thrilled to learn that by the time they graduate ;they won't be needed in the field .
Not only can you use AI ;as long as you have access ;you can build your own personal AI system. ,

GPT-5.3 Codex of OpenAI was built not by humans ;but by AI itself
There’s another aspect in which building this model differed from previous efforts: according to OpenAI, the model was “instrumental in creating itself.”

Innovation is coming rapidly and so is "creative destruction" .
Creative destruction - .Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_destruction)
This is how technological advance happens . But in the past it was a process that took years and was human directed . We are going see instantaneous advances made by computers . The wave is coming and no government inventing regulations will prevent it from coming ashore .

Seriously ? They did not see that coming ? Personally I see nothing but buy opportunities .
A couple of big wigs in the AI field resigned this week Mrinank Sharma from Anthropic and Zoë Hitzig from OpenAI
The tipping point for Hitzig was monetizing by having ads in Chat GPT.

How dare they try to make money
I suspect the real reason is everyone got to see what AI can do with all the AI generated ads aired during the Super Bowl .They were panned .

But face the facts . AI is in it's infancy . A whole bunch of writers ;and Hollywierdo actors are feeling a bit nervous today .

So what would happen if a though exercise about AI became a 'War of the Worlds ' moment .

Sunday, a viral article published by Citrini Research described a future-world scenario where powerful AI leads to spending cuts across the economy, triggering a massive recession

It doesn’t take much to cause tumultuous stock moves in a market top-heavy with tech shares and jumpy about the prospects for artificial intelligence.
But nothing underlines the sensitivity of stocks right now quite like what happened on Monday, when one of the factors behind the Dow’s 800-point drop was a 7,000-word hypothetical.

Umm technology always brings both disruption and opportunity . Nothing new here .
My prediction is that AI will create more jobs than it eliminates .
