I'm not sure why the downvotes, I think it's a reasonable opinion. But I disagree, I think what is being sought is automation close to intelligence, and if progress continues (which is questionable itself), this system could eventually supplant humans in varying degrees. Initially, this may manifest pragmatically with salary cuts and job losses. However, in the long term, it may evolve to a more real and comprehensive overhaul of our roles. I think the main difference in my understanding is that it is not a tool like a hammer, it is more a tool that has the potential to design other tools (so far very simple) but if its capacity increases, it could automate significant parts of our work.
