Abstract
Due to the rapid integration of AI into work functions, both entry-level and expert positions have disappeared from job boards. The worker displacement is comparable to the industrial revolution. Then, however, the market had 80 years to adjust to a new status quo, this current development took less than half a decade. It is easy to use the timeline and scale of the problem to condemn AI and frame the issue as a human-vs-machine conflict. In reality, the use of AI-enabled tools has the potential to set humanity on a new level of discovery and progress that has never been possible before, pushing science to new limits and creativity into mediums that will finally impress a generation that’s seen the entire world through a box in their pocket. To accomplish this, AI tools have to be used thoughtfully and in good faith, preserving and growing the corpus of human knowledge instead of serving as a shortcut to a mediocre output.
