if Jen’s work does not change

Jen’s job will change. In some cases it will disappear just like technology replaced Jen’s grandma who was a centralist.

how is this different to the invention of the microwave?

It’s in terms of impact. The microwave made it possible to heat food in an office. AI may make the same office obsolete.

Okay, but when? Studies show that Jen's job has not changed yet at all so far. What's needed for it to change?

How specifically?

The combined total yearly revenue of the AI industry is by a generous estimate around five billion. That is less money that Mario Kart 8 made in revenue. And we didn't need to restart nuclear reactors to run Mario Kart 8.

And that revenue is mostly made by OpenAI, mostly by selling to Microsoft, which basically owns it, so one might ask, how does that even count.

but when?

That’s a $1M question. IMHO it will happen as soon as there will be a killer application. One of those thousands startups will develop something solving a big problem.

Imagine if a company could deliver the complete automation of software development. Not only all companies would buy it, but the AI would would work 24/7 improving itself. That’s the kind of big breakthrough we are talking about.

I can’t give you a date, just that I’m strongly convinced that something like that will happen.
