Your job will only be replaced if you're unwilling to adapt. It's like saying that C made assembly programmers obsolete. There's a lot fewer people programming in assembly, but the correct view is that there's a lot more programmers now than there were in the days that you had to know assembly. "Under the cover of darkness and without permission" implies quite a bit, but you're coming at it from the wrong angle, which this court ruling affirms. Try thinking of it as a new tool that will act as a force multiplier for your work.

This is a completely misled interpretation of events, since automating my work to the scale of generative AI, there won't be any work left for humans. This "but progress" argument is tiring. The Industrial Revolution was a complete failure if you measure quality of life in its first decades. It got turned around by people who you know, fought back, created unions, and demanded fair pay.

  > there won't be any work left for humans Good. That's the goal, and we can stop inventing stupid make-work for people when that happens. Jobs aren't the goal, making robots do all of the work is the goal. You're falling into the myopic trap of assuming that the current way of things won't change along with generative AI becoming commonplace.

    I would agree. My fear is that in between the world we have now and the world where robots do everything, we have a giant valley of madness where robots take all the jobs, all the profits, and a lot of people are left with nothing.

    That's whose goal? It certainly isn't the goal of billionaires and people that run the country. By in large, their goal is to be rich and powerful: to have power over other people. You don't get that by eliminating the need to work. It would take an incredible amount of altruism to share your goal, and you don't become a billionaire by being altruistic.
