All the points you made about AI are correct, currently. 5-10 years ago you would have been laughed at to say that AI would do the things it can do now., even if it is mediocre compared to professionals in the field.

Arguing that AI isn't that good ignores the acceleration of improvement AI has undergone. In another 5-10 years where will we be? It isn't going to stay the same as it is now. The current AI capabilities aren't going to stay where they are now. There is only improvement to made.

If we've come this far in less than 10 years, I'd bet that in the next 10 everyone is going to be surprised at what AI can do.

1 year ago we had Will Smith eating spaghetti and a never ending Friends episode. Today we have a company sending $25 million to fraudsters.

You're on the right track but I think your timeline is off. I'm guessing in a year or 2 AI can make a full Pixar movie.

AI is really good right now and it's getting better faster than anyone anticipated. This went from hypothetical to reality seemingly overnight. Nobody is ready. The fallout will be huge.
