It feels like you have never worked with software. The first step in creating a project that fails is to not clearly define the scope of work and to not limit requirements coming in.
I think your perspective is coming from being a software contractor who takes requirements from a client and delivers working software.
Eventually you will get to see bigger picture of how not just a small piece of software is developed, but technology is created. Every single company that I worked in started off with a clearly defined problem, but somewhere along the way realised that their focus should be elsewhere and they pivoted. This is a standard lifecycle of not just startups but technology itself.
AI didn't pop out of nowhere. Precursor to AI was the field of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), that started as early as 1950s. They had a clearly defined goal - to mimic the way neurons work in the brain and they had a well defined problem: Pattern recognition and classification.
When ANNs hit into the limitations of computational power, it was largely forgotten as a field and people moved on to more exciting areas. Deep learning algorithms - foundation of today's AI models - were just extremely complex versions of ANNs with much more optimized algorithms and the problem definition that can be solved by AI pivoted from pattern recognition to pattern generation.
All of today's AI models are nothing but pattern generators. You feed them billions of data patterns, and then you feed it a new pattern and it will extend it by generating the continuation of that pattern.
When you ask a question to Grok, all grok is doing is taking that string you typed and running it through its internal network and extending that string into something that, as a human, you perceive it to be an "answer" - but its just a string of letters.
So yeah, AI has a clearly defined function - pattern generation and extension - but what problems you can solve with this is unlimited.
To understand this concept that applies to all new technology, you can compare it with crypto space. When blockchains were originally created it was solving a well defined problem of decentralized consensus of financial transactions with no double-spending. Thats exactly what Bitcoin protocol implemented.
However, the problems you can solve with this is unlimited. Started off with currency, extended into programmable contracts, NFTs, and pretty much anything you could imagine - now reaching the problem of making liquidity available to people without banks as middlemen.
When we compared where we are now with where it started from, you cannot help but be amazed. And its the same with AI.
People need work and income
I guess you missed the point I was making, explaining how - just like with Robotics and Internet - while some jobs were lost, a lot more were made, and in the end we still have jobs for everyone - from newbies to veterans. However the jobs that newbies today do are different from the newbies did 50 years ago. And it will be the same with AI - because, and its important to keep in mind, AI is not a thinking entity. Its simply a pattern generator. We humans are the thinkers and we will always be that.

One thing I’ve learned from you guys is to never think in absolutes. That’s not to say there’s not absolutes that exist, but from my experience the moment I think something is set in stone is the moment it begins to change🤷♂️
*Do you believe the human mind creates reality? Literally,,, creates reality?? Are we only limited by our understandings??? If you believe that and accept it as truth then is it really that crazy to “”think”” that Ai will develop a level of creativity that matches/surpasses human ability?
*”If” our brains have the ability to receive/tap into the universal consciousness for answers/creativity (thinking in terms of frequency/radio waves) than maybe we can create something capable of this too!
I believe humans have a soul which connects if to the Universe or God. This is what differentiate is from even the most powerful AI. They can be smarter than is in many areas, sure but we'll never possess our instincts, insights, and spirituality that has guided us as humanity even through all the deception of Satan.
It entirely depends on what your worldview about God is. If you believe God is a supernatural being as conventionally accepted in religious circles, then Satan is an angel who rebelled.
If you believe God is extra terrestrial beings who created our DNA and populated us here, then Satan is a ET who wants to treat us like cattle.
If you are an atheist - then God and Satan does not exist.

Who do you think Satan is?
What type of entity, if any at all??
It entirely depends on what your worldview about God is. If you believe God is a supernatural being as conventionally accepted in religious circles, then Satan is an angel who rebelled.
If you believe God is extra terrestrial beings who created our DNA and populated us here, then Satan is a ET who wants to treat us like cattle.
If you are an atheist - then God and Satan does not exist.
And so on.
