It might well do that. But worrying about the future like that has no purpose. If the machines become intelligent enough to replace knowledge work they'll be able to improve themselves and mechanical robots too, so work won't exist anymore.
If that happens we'll either achieve post scarcity or some kind of post human Armageddon if the system is runs awry.
- exe34 2y agothat's exactly the kind of future worth worrying about - having a backup plan is a good idea. such AI won't be able to expand into the physical world as fast as they can take over knowledge work - so there would still be things worth doing that could be worth something.
