People a century ago believed that automation and industrialization would end man's toil and lead to a society of leisure, where people would not need to work because machines would be doing the work. Instead we now have "bullshit jobs", and while most people are free from backbreaking labor and we've shifted to a knowledge-based economy, we still must work. The cynic in me isn't so sure we'll be in a good place when the AI can clean the loos, maybe we'll be cleaning the AI's loo.
