Sure it is likely that AI is overhyped, yet there are still applications that are likely going to change the way that things are done, whether we like it or not. Some applications are within our understanding, including that some AI systems are already being used to increase productivity and to sort through large amounts of data, and frequently we are not going to know some applications until they have been put together perhaps with several unknown steps along the way. And, will people and jobs be lost? Sure. Some jobs will be lost and other kinds of jobs will be gained. Are there overall benefits to humanity? Perhaps. Some of us likely can even recognize several benefits in regards to some old systems that no longer are part of the interactive ways of people.
That's always been the case with the technological evolutions, so jobs will be impacted whenever new emerges and the remains will fade away but it's also going to open the flood gates of whole new sets of opportunities so one must have to prepare themselves for adaption and finding a spot for ourselves in the new landscape and overall that's how humans survived for this long they just change things according to what's needed so the same way they have to find a way to make it happens for them instead of whining that it's gonna take away my job and this is the end like that.
