The way I see it, one of the main dangers is young people will see current generative AI can easily do their homework and become discouraged whether learning the subject is worth doing themselves.Never in the history of mankind has it been that easy to access information and knowledge. And it is not just that, this thing can also provide answers to your particular and specific questions which require critical/logical thinking and problem solving skills. You don't even need to "type", you can just speak to it, and get the correct answer, "instantly", 99.99% of the time, which is absolutely amazing. It is like your own personal university professor who is available 24/7. It is funny even that if you ask it to answer the question in more "simpler" terms, it can also do that for you. It dumbs it down for you.
For my old ass, this is nothing short of a miracle. I hope young generations don't take it for granted.
In addition today's workers might lose their jobs if their productivity lags due to not learning how to use AI in their work.
What's not discussed in this thread very much is how autonomous drones, tanks and ships will change warfare. While one can imagine a software bug causing a major defeat. It's also possible that not embracing AI will be similar to horses versus tanks in previous world wars.
Although the following may be sensationalised:

The idea that people need to learn how to use AI as a productivity tool is growing.
