If you look at worker productivity vs income, they have diverged sharply over the past 50 year. I have zero optimism that AI-driven productivity would improve the financial footing of the average citizen. It will likely just exacerbate existing social unrest as more jobs are automated.
- mountainriver 4y agoThe percentage of people working in US society has increased steadily since the 50's, and the income of individuals has also increased steadily over the same time frame. It may not exactly match productivity, but more people are working and people are earning substantially more than ever before. AI may be different, but its entirely likely that it will just continue this trend
