Wow, this is some spectacular hyperbole!
That's the current pace of AI. It's evolving insane fast and already extremely capable.
Here is a little game:

Result: https://imgur.com/a/ImbNQDk (about 20 seconds of effort)
It's ridiculously easy to recreate almost anything on there at a similar or sometimes even better level of quality. Literally seconds to recreate what would take a human hours or even days. What are the chances that humans will still be relevant in this line of work in 5 or 10 years, when we are able to create this level of quality after not even three years of AI image generation?
And the same will be true for every other job or activity that mainly works on digital data. When you can find enough data to train an AI on, it's gone. Humans are no longer needed. And more general AI model will sooner or later eat up all the rest as well.
I seriously don't know how one can look at the progress in AI over the last two years and not have a bit of an existential crisis.
