Reddit user worries AI is moving faster than workers can adapt

A Reddit post asks whether AI is advancing faster than people can adapt. The author says they are excited by the technology but increasingly uneasy as tools improve every few months, companies talk about layoffs, and workers are expected to retrain almost overnight.
The core concern is not that AI will replace everyone immediately, but that the pace of change may outstrip how quickly people and institutions can adjust, leaving many behind.
