I started using Grok recently to write shell scripts for my project. I'm useless at coding and do not want to learn. But need these scripts badly to make the project work.
Roll out Grok - in just 5 minutes it wrote this script for me with just 3 branches to perfect it. All with logging and error checking - just like a wheel carried so much more load for the same amount of my effort a thousand years ago. Show me a single reasonable person who still worries about that boon!
In the past this software development work has cost me hundreds of dollars each time to hire a Developer. Not any more!

For those who worry about new inventions "taking my job", firstly, no job belongs to anyone. You are the archetypal Luddite if you go near this irrational response. Be bold and rise above that poor attitude and make hay with the new tech. If you're currently an old world Dev then move onto the higher ground and become a new world Dev. Let natural wastage kill off the old world.
So there's no fundamental difference in innovation terms between the invention of fire, the wheel, steam etc.etc. and AI. All are fantastic labour saving devices. And that is all. To worry about it is the same as it was to worry about the invention of the wheel.
And every fantastic invention has improved the productive power of any economy which adopts it. And the first economy to adopt it will be the first to gain in the biggest way. As will be all of the people who constitute it and exploit the new tech first.
Are there caveats though?
The thing is, no fantastic invention has ever improved the distribution of wealth, one iota, ever. By improving the distribution of wealth we mean - who ever creates the new wealth with their own skill and effort or own inputs of saved capital, gets to keep it. And those who contribute none of these things, do not get any of it!

But why have all new inventions never improved the distribution in the end? Because while land remains untaxed private property, and productivity remains taxed highly, all the gains will end up in the value of land.
For evidence take a look here with the worlds largest economy. Look at the biggest line items, hidden away in the bottom row. Isn't it curious no one ever mentions it? I wonder why.
There's no escaping this because no wealth can be produced without exclusive access to a piece of land, anywhere in this universe, even Mars. And the best and most valuable pieces of land can produce the most quantity of wealth as an output. And its the wealth we want most, not the money we use to buy the wealth with.
Given the natural laws of economics, the demand for these more productive pieces of land will rise, obviously. As will the annual rental value(The Rent) of this land and as a consequence its selling price.
And whomsoever owns the valuable land, when their wealth runs short, can open up a magic shaft in the ground revealing new and higher levels of wealth acquisition.
And they can then say "This is mine!"
And so it goes...

Please take note with extreme care here: there will be plenty of surplus for each of us to donate by voluntary choice to those who cannot access this 'free-nature' distribution for whatever reason, but that is a matter for the people, not the state. What you produce belongs to you as private property. Absolutely, and in justice. If you have empathy for those in need, then give it up right away. The justice of a nation is not made up by the law and its administration. It is made up by whatever the people make of it.
