I’m sure most people on this sub have read the Certini research article about AI led economic collapse in 2028. Obviously, it has caused quite a stir and led to a market sell off on Monday. Opinions on reddit are all over the place from some people calling it nothing more than clickbaity doom porn to others who’re almost convinced that the end is nigh in next 2-3 years. I’m a software engineer and use AI models almost everyday in my work. It has helped me tremendously in coding, debugging, bouncing off ideas etc. I haven’t played with Agents much though. So far, I find AI very useful AS A TOOL. What I’m unable to make up my mind on is how impactful is it in the form of autonomous agents? One one hand, I can see how agents become ubiquitous in the near future just like internet but much faster. And if that happens, I don’t see why and where humans are required in the economy besides being consumers to keep the economy going. Can anyone offer a reasonable counter point as to why AI WON’T cause mass economic damage similar to that outlined in the article? submitted by /u/Training-Rip6463
