    A post questions the leap from AI job-loss forecasts to extinction warnings

    A user says radiologist job demand is high in 2026 despite a replacement prediction they date to 2016, and questions whether bigger AI warnings have stronger evidence behind them.

    TLDR

    A post quotes a prediction it dates to 2016: “AI will replace radiologists within 5 years.” The author says demand for radiologist jobs is high in 2026, then contrasts that with a quoted claim that AI has a 25% chance of causing human extinction. Their argument: the predictions keep getting bigger, but the evidence hasn’t kept pace.

    @NoahpinionA lot of people don't even question the idea that AI replaces human beings. And yet the number of software engineers and radiologists is higher than ever, and the number of translators hasn't even gone down!
