       | human rights."
       | 
       | So we lift billions out of poverty by replacing everyone's jobs?
       | Abundance of unemployment?
       | 
       | Also what happened to the narrative of "There will be new jobs
       | made with AI", I am struggling to understand how can there be new
       | jobs in AI when AI can literally replace it faster than the job
       | was created.
       | 
       | Are there any employers in the market for hiring Prompt Engineers
       | for $250K+?
       | 
       | Anyone?
