Using AI Will Benefit Everyone-- If It Doesn't Collapse Civilization First

My husband Andy and I have an ongoing argument about what artificial intelligence will be able to do in the future. He's an AI developer, so based on the speed of its evolution he thinks that in about 10 years AI will be able to replace many workers, including writers. I disagree completely, especially considering the undeniable fact that a lot of AI's touted abilities still fall far short of what is expected. Robot vacuums still get stuck in an area of the house. And while chatbots are far better than they once were, talking to one like it's a human is an exercise in frustration, since most are incapable of responding to questions that go off-script or deviate from programming.
