A 25-year-old woman expresses her concerns about her 23-year-old boyfriend's unconventional beliefs regarding the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential impact on society. Her boyfriend believes that by 2030, AI will become so advanced that it can solve all diseases and physics problems, and by 2026, there will be a labor crisis due to AI and robots taking over most jobs, leading to widespread homelessness. Acting on these beliefs, he quit his job as an architect and took a job as a line cook, believing physical labor roles will be in high demand. His extreme views have caused financial strain in their relationship and have even led him to flirt with AI chatbots online, causing the woman to question the viability of their relationship.

Not a good read. It's a summary of a reddit post.
