Like mostly all tech, AI is destined to get cheaper with time. We're still pretty early on and are experiencing a hardware crunch, which will ease eventually.
AI doesn't have workers rights, doesn't burn out, doesn't get sick, can be instantly onboarded, etc. The second we can be fully replaced with AI, we will be. Plan accordingly. I'm pursuing FIRE and considering moving into a trade.
If you're not FIRE now, it's too late! Enjoy serfdom!
If AI would be that cheap and good, why not open a company and leverage it for yourself?
Doing what? Making something with ai: enjoy your 20,000 competitors. Making something without ai: who can buy it?
If AI would be that cheap and good, why would they rent it to you? Or even tell you about it?
I feel like trades will be impacted too. No reason robots can't do much of it cheaper and faster. They're even 3D printing houses.
Afaik all the 3d printed houses have been expensive disasters.
