We should turn it off while we still can. It will most likely eliminate almost all programming jobs, most creative professions, etc. I mean, people keep saying, “oh, but it can’t do X yet.” But it will, and it won’t take long. How long do you think the world will last once anything you could do or achieve can be done better by a machine instantly? What is your purpose then? Why go to school? Why try at all? The great mass of people will descend into hopeless depression once they realize that there is literally no point to learn anything. Nothing that makes you special. Your talents, whatever they are, will become meaningless. No point in learning to play the piano, or draw, or code.
