While the broader impacts of AI are still unknown, OpenAI claims the technology will cause major social and economic upheaval driven by significant displacement of workers as AI capabilities become more sophisticated and applicable to nearly all forms of work.

Citation needed.

Also, OpenAI didn’t invent the transformer.

“Displacement of workers” not because AI is doing those workers’ jobs now, but because companies wanted to free up money to invest in AI.
