I think this is very likely and something that everyone seems to be missing when valuing these AI firms. AI is not the new industrial revolution, it's the new cloud VM: a very useful commodity software offering.

The parallels to the Industrial Revolution are so close that we even have a new generation of Luddites. (Not saying they don’t have some valid points; so did the original group.)
The reason it’s like the Industrial Revolution is simply that there’s no question it’s going to completely transform jobs. It can make a very similar difference to the difference between a craftsman and a factory worker. The latter is massively more productive.
