I don't think the AI stuff is oversold. If anything, it's going to hit us sooner than most people expect. Once robots and their AI software are good enough, once self-driving is good enough, it's game over for most manual jobs. And many software-based jobs will be automated even faster (accountants, lawyers, data analysis, etc).

Why would those getting good enough happen sooner than people expected? I'd assume those will get good enough at roughly the rate pessimists expected, at least if we look historically that seems like a good bet, these things move really really slowly once you try to apply it to the real world in practice.

Would you call an AI bot to fix your heater? I would not.
There's no substitute for artisanship.
