I am wondering whether us folks in the IT space are missing things about how the real world out there functions with those predictions.

As long as we do not hand over our collective decision making power to the machine god, which I don't think is a good idea and am not sure is even possible, the world out there is at this moment still shaped by humans, with other humans, for humans.

I have this feeling that there is more about society and economics than efficiency. I have right now people I know that work in jobs that could have been automated for many years to a very high degree. That is even without AI.

Counterpoint: This is not only possible but has effectively already happened. From the outside, the current trajectory is indistinguishable from humanity serving the AI, pulling all possible resources out of literally everything else in order to burn them on AI R&D, training and inference.
