Not amazing: We certainly do not know if AI has started handling the roles made by humans before. But a recent survey of the World Economic Forum found that 40% of employers plan to cut employees where AI can automatically make the tasks automatically. It cannot be good.

Can it cook my food? Gmail users no longer need to tap on an option to summarize email with AI. AI will now submit the material automatically if needed, without the need for the user's interaction.
