Quotelaid-off truck drivers transitioning into radiology technicians as an example.

LOL we still don't have autonomous trucking, what on Earth is he talking about?

Lawyers will disappear when courts allow AI representation and Copilot can tell the PD to stop questioning suspects.

just like the electric vehicles in the auto industry, businesses are very impatient. they want to benefit from the advanced tech before it has been fully or more-meaningfully developed. they want to start saving & reduce expenses now, not later. they don't know how much AI is actually helpful, if at all. just cutting jobs to reduce labor costs. and AI is their easy (excuse).
