I love how they always lump words like AI, automation, ML, Deep Learning together. They make it seem like there already exists an army of robots just as capable as humans ready to take over. Sure, many companies have managed to automate lots of things, but this isn't new and is expensive and takes lots of time to achieve. Further capitalism is predicated on growth, and growth requires people to have money and for the population to continue growing to see spending growth. We run into an interesting problem. Why do we need so much production if no one has money to buy anything? Why do we need so many people if we have an automated labour force? Further has no one considered that much our economy is based on solving entirely unique human problems? Things like finance, communication, luxury goods and even energy production...these are things for humans. I have yet to read an meaningful analysis of what a truly automated labour force will mean for the human population and capitalism.
