The prevailing sentiment, encapsulated in a popular tweet, asserts that AI inventions are designed to render a significant portion of humanity economically obsolete—an assertion that appears to stem from the companies' genuine anticipations. It is noteworthy that San Francisco's tech community often diverges from mainstream public opinion. In this instance, however, the public appears to concur.
