Taking away peoples' roles and turning them into welfare recipients is not universally seen as a good thing. Many people get fulfillment from the work they do because feel like they contribute to society. Taking away their job and providing them food and shelter does not solve that problem.

- hueving 9y agoThat's wrong. Most cooking is easily automated (still expensive) but people get fulfillment from cooking food for other people.
- yorwba 9y ago> Many people get fulfillment from the work they do because feel like they contribute to society. Many people got fulfillment from playing Chess, or Go, or weaving, or tilling a field with their own hands. Many, but fewer people, still enjoy doing these things today, although machines are better at it than them. Others have moved on to other ways of self-fulfillment. If you oppose automation of activities people find fulfillment in, you should oppose game-playing AI much more than jobs being automated away. There are much fewer people that hate playing board games but have to do it anyway because it's the one skill they have that will put bread on the table.
- hueving 9y agoYou missed the point. The fulfillment isn't from the activity, it's from being depended on by other people to perform the activity. An interesting hobby like Chess or Go by definition can't replace the need to be depended on and feel like you are contributing.
