Since most of the comments are personal opinions about general AI, I'll add my two cents.
There's no need to fear AI if we fully develop human intelligence.
Sounds silly but there's a lot of unexplored territory in the human mind that only a few in history have exposed.
Right now people are getting dumber over time because we're just resting on the work of our machines as we occupy ourselves with endless distractions. It's nothing new, we've been doing this for a while but the human mind is a massively powerful and beautiful thing that can't be touched at its full potential. At the moment, due to the nature of the work structure in corporate society, all we have become are poorly functioning machines.
I'm quite aware in this field due to my work and we're only losing the intelligence war because we're glorifying machine power over our own while feeding it with our daily work as AI/ML engineers.
It's a strategy for morons - akin to standing on the railroad and moving forward when you see the light instead of to the side.
That's why I prefer to promote knowledge, education and development of the self in my spare time. Technology has a place, I just don't see how it could possibly be above us if we are to remain the dominant species on this planet.
Ultimately though, I do believe we'll be just fine. I spend a lot of time coaching the younger generation and communicating with them. They have far better heads on their shoulders than the people of my generation did at our age. When they take their place as the leaders of society eventually, we'll be just fine.
To answer the topic though: It might hit the bottom line of the companies but there will still be hordes of players trying to beat the
odds. Tbh, there are so many ways to stop sophisticated bots that the companies just don't see because they don't understand the tech.
