I’m not scared of AI taking our jobs, because even without proper AI, all of our jobs are being automated away anyway. They only started with the simple jobs (cashiers) but once they tackle one industry they can focus on the next. Cars are currently being made self-driving, and that will displace ALL taxi drivers, long haul truck drivers, all sorts of people would be out of jobs.
(and the scary thing about that is, how long will it take us to adopt some kind of universal basic income to pay these out-of-work humans? we might get to scary unemployment numbers and civil crisis before we get our act together, but that’s a whole other story)
“Artificial Intelligence” being defined as that holy grail of a conscious computer that can learn and evolve itself, and “AIML, ChatScript, RiveScript, and toy chatbots” as the other sort of group that this site mostly talks about… you won’t find too much of the dense academic knowledge of modern A.I. development here I think. Apples and oranges.
