I wouldn’t say the handling of COVID was smooth to say the least.

Yes we handled it, we are still paying the bill for that handling (inflation).

I think AI will have the disruption level of COVID, but there will not be an end in sight, 5%, 10, 20, 50% of people will lose jobs and even if they can refrain and handle it, it will take 5-10 years for those people to handle it. Can the countries have people on unemployment for that long ?



If COVID was to be worse on young, healthy people, instead of elders and debilitated, we'd be in serious trouble today. It was very badly handled...


Not like AI revolution will be better handled. It will be even worse because there are very obvious economic incentives to handle badly


Covid is intrinsically bad.

I don't think this is the case for AI.
