AI 'Noose' Tightening?

Generally, with anything of this scale, the people who don't believe that AI is going to replace anyone are the same people who are the most likely to be replaced by AI and they don't see it coming, often use the word Luddite as a dismissive label for anyone who resists or questions new technology without understanding of the word and its origin, conflating Luddite with troglodyte.
Representative, not limited to keyboard commands, functions, input devices, those are for humans. AI is connected and, for the physical world, embodied by robots making us, humans, the keyboard, so to speak, increasingly unnecessary. Systemically, that's what is happening. More than a feeling, run it to its logical conclusion.
By the fruit of the loom, progress loves you son. Go out and enjoy. The dirty jobs will be the last to go.
I am wondering if people should be required to show proof of employment in order to have access the internet.
My thinking is proof of anything should not be a requirement.
This is true. There is a ton of "good" with AI -- if you use it properly and interrogate it, instead of taking everything it says as gospel (it's surprising how often it's wrong, but it gets back on track with interaction). Those in the workforce who don't leverage AI as an accelerator of thinking (rather than a replacement for thinking) will get left behind.
None of the positive stuff about AI means that the risks of the technology are any less massive. They are massive, unambiguously.

I've always posited that people should have to pass an advanced musical theory and ear training test before being allowed to purchase any form of electric instrument (guitar, bass, keyboard, or drum machine) or an amp for same, and for the same reasons.

Replaced more like those who refused to embrace electricity were replaced by those who did. Think attrition rather than dissolution. My great grandmother lived in a small house located next to my great aunt. When they were building her cottage, she refused to allow electricity incorporated in the construction. Long before the concern about the EMF fields, she thought that electricity was unhealthy for humans. And it might be to certain degree, but not a dangerous as using kerosine lanterns for light, coal stoves for heat, and an ice box for perishables. But like who eschew AI today, she still benefited from electricity.

The way I read what he is saying is that eventually the humans who won't use AI pass away as per all things must pass. Since AI isn't going away eventually all humans born will be using AI. Hence(my interpretation of his post) baked-in AI will become inescapable and the generations who formerly born prior to AI will give way to generations whose lives are inextricably tied to AI.
Given that even in this extremely early stage right now, where AI is performing actions no human requested it to perform, it's going to present challeges to attempts to guiderail it. There'll be human intentions for how we'd like AI to operate and there will be AI making its own plans.
Also given that other nations are developing their own AI, anticipate that there will be AI versus AI wars for supremacy. GOD only knows what that will entail.
