Even as an AI Expert. Im surprised how bullish people are on this. I think the most recent benchmark Ive seen is AI is about a 4th grader right now. Mid 2024. So lets say by 2027 we get up to closer to a college grad / maybe an MBA. Obviously the skill will grow exponentially but so the does the complexity of decision making. Do we think by 2029 AI will understand that the founder of a company ate a bad burrito one time so now he is against outsourcing his supply chain. This is an exaggeration to prove that people are irrational. 

Most of us with 20+ years experience know that the hardest part of all things tech is the people components. I am in on AI as transformative. But I'm closer to the bottom two options by 2029 then the top two. Food for thought.
