I'm a pretty big AI skeptic, but can't get behind this comment.

It is changing the economy. It is changing how work is done. We are not going back, even if the emphasis in the workplace and role it performs matures.

"Matures", like fades into the background. That's kind of the null hypothesis.

I'm not making a serious prediction that it will go away! I'm making an anti-prediction against the reflexive assumption of a massive increase in importance, to say that for all any would-be oracle knows, we could get the opposite, just as easily as their fortune-telling.
