    > “I believe AI has the potential to reduce our working hours and allow us to focus on tasks that require creativity and critical thinking,” Gates stated during a recent tech conference. This shift could lead to a more fulfilling work environment, where individuals are empowered to innovate and solve complex problems.

    There's a wide spectrum of mental capability amongst humans. People on the lower range will not be "empowered to innovate and solve complex problems".

      He'll be about as wrong as everyone else who had said the same thing over the last 150 years or so.

      People will have to come up with a creative way to pay rent.

    Bill is been so right about so many things for such a long time! Not. We give way too much credence to past success especially if it involves a big payout - in this case from cutthroat business practices (and grievously incompetent competitors) far more than any real innovation.
