While the fears of AI develop, Sam Altman says that Gen-Z is the “most lucky children in history”

During the weekend, the New York Times abandoned a story about how computer graduates are so hard for jobs that they cannot even find work at Chipotle. The reason? Many people blame the AI, which has consumed the labor market more and more for entry -level coders. However, not everyone worries. Sam Altman, the CEO of one of the most successful IA companies in the world, said that recent university graduates should really be grateful for their current situation.

Fortune initially noted that, during a recent appearance on the enormous Podcast of Cleo Abram, Altman qualified the current generation of college graduates “The luckiest children in the whole history” and said that these lucky children would adapt to changing economic realities presented by AI. “This still happens,” said Altman, referring to the technological change and the disturbance of the company. “Young people are the best to adapt to this. I am more worried about what it means, not for the 22-year-old man, but for the 62-year-old man, this does not want to recycle or Reskill or what politicians call him,” he said.

Other strange things that Altman said during the podcast:

• Technological development will lead to “completely new, exciting, super well paid and super interesting jobs”.
• “There has never been a more incredible moment to create something completely new.”
• “A child born today will never be smarter than AI.”

Put side by the fact that the GPT-5 of Altman chooses the bed so strong that his business had to give the coders the possibility of returning to GPT-4, I think it is sure to assume that a large part of what the director of technology said here is only Professor Fluff for his business. Take the thing that AI is “smarter” than human children. The idea that the AI – which is largely an algorithm of linguistic prediction with equality with self -correction – is “intelligent” in the same way that a human adolescent is intelligent is a long -term error. AI has no conscience, despite what leaders like Altman would make you believe. This is software designed to regurgitate the language. As Tyler Austin Harper from the Atlantic recently said:

Call AI A con, that is not to say that technology is not remarkable, that it does not use or that it will not transform the world (perhaps for the best) in good hands. It is a question of saying that AI is not what its developers sell it as: a new class of thought – and, soon, feel – machines … large models of language cannot, cannot “understand nothing at all. They are not emotionally intelligent or clever in any significant or recognizable human sense of the term. The LLM are impressive probability gadgets that have been fed almost the Internet and produce writing not by thinking but by making statistically informed assumptions about the lexical elements likely to follow another.

If AI is not particularly good for thinking, one thing in which it is good is to replace the levels of entry into technological companies. The New York Times notes that the unemployment rate for IT nerds seems to have skyrocketed this year:

Among graduates from 22 to 27 years old, IT and computer engineering majors face some of the highest unemployment rates, 6.1% and 7.5% respectively, according to a report by the Federal Reserve Bank in New York. This represents more than double the unemployment rate among recent graduates in biology and art history, which is only 3%.
