As I study the relevant field of intersection between information technology (IT) advancement and society, I can say that this prediction is highly exaggerated. It is likely from the phrase 1 of the three phrases of the hype cycle where some people are developing unrealistical high expectations of a technology or innovation. Those people will enter phrase 2 where they lost interest when they realized that the new innovation is not as influential as expected. Phrase 3 will they recover some interest from phrase 1 when the people find more realistic benefits of the innovation.
I should also state that the fear of job displacement is unrealistic. The IT effects on radiology, accounting, and software programming does not displace employees. It change the required skill set of the jobs. The new job skill requirement need skills to operate IT tools like artificial intelligence to handle more tasks.
But don’t forget that some of the most stupid of us (mainly the CEO’s), will buy in the hype cycle and wreck the life of a lot of people by making the move to generative ai thinking it can actually replace people in their corporations.

That’s a very good take.
