What's more human than writing, or making art? The sad reality is if AI is as disruptive as some claim and a company follows your advice:
a) The employees will end up doing the menial tasks that AI still can't.
b) Their competitors will either buy them up or drive them out of business by being more ruthless about how they apply automation.
There's no "bottom-up" market solution that will work in the long term here. In my opinion the only thing that can lead to a more equal distribution of resources has to come in the form of more redistributive taxation and more stringent labor laws - i.e. "top down" from the government. Unfortunately, legislators seem to be moving in the opposite direction on some of these fronts. I think more social unrest is inevitable until things are forced to change.
