Even if we ignore the scifi horror of outsourcing our collective intelligence to an AI and assume such a hypothetical AI can solve every problem and essentially do every job for us, it would need to build a society where working for an income is no longer required, which is absolutely not what's happening lol.

Leather jacket Huang and Scam Altman just want to make morbillion dollars in a race to become the first trillionaire. They don't or refuse to recognize the long term effects of destroying the very fabric that makes their businesses profitable just like every other investment gamble has. If no one has a job, they don't have money to spend on product and services from your businesses, or your business clients' businesses.

Alas, line must go up.

True, and I don't see how we make that leap. Nobody is going to give that type of tech and investment over to humanity for free.

(also, I thought Musk had already hit 1 trillion, but not quite yet. The high end of his estimated net worth is 988 billion, so give it a month or two.)
