Yann LeCun, former Meta AI chief, advises against making life-altering decisions based on exaggerated claims about AI's future, warning that doom narratives harm teens' mental health and arguing that AI won't deplete 20% of jobs. He recommends going to college to study subjects like physics or electrical engineering. LeCun believes AI will increase demand for more educated critical thinkers.
