Whereas the thing that AI promises to do is particularly AGI, like fully human replacing AI, is that you can have labor without having humans.

So you can produce software without having humans.

So yes, maybe demand for software goes up, but AIs are making all the software.

Yeah, maybe demand for therapists goes up, but AIs can do the therapy.

Lots of people are already using AI for therapy.

And so even though we're not yet in that world, because AI is very jagged, it can't do everything yet.

And so humans remain complements to AI.

Right now, humans are augmented by AI.

For a lot of things like radiology, you need both a human and an AI together.

And so if demand goes up, you still need human labor.

AI is generalizing really fast.

It's improving really fast.

And Dario believes that in the next two, three years, we're going to get AI that can produce infinite amounts of software therapy or whatever it is without the requirement of having any humans.

And so let's take your software engineer example.

Right now, we see that overall demand for software engineers is going up, but the junior engineers are affected, right?

So if you're a new grad engineer, you are actually struggling to get work because you're not really that much better than quad code.

But if you're a senior engineer, you're totally fine.

Lots of demand for senior engineers.

The thing is, if you look at the way that AI models have progressed on software benchmarks year after year after year, they are improving really, really fast.

And so right now, maybe AI can only replace a junior engineer, but it seems totally feasible to me that next year AI will be able to replace a mid-level engineer.
