I understand your point about labor replacement. Consider your POV, though: one person’s “menial” is another person’s stretch goal; one person’s “low cognitive effort” is another person’s maximum capacity. What of these people? As the efficiency of our means of production increases, so too does its ability to leave behind those who are not your so-called “productive people.” Now, we have more than enough wealth in this country to solve that problem to everyone’s benefit, and I’d like to think that we will. However, some of those most directly involved and invested in bringing on the AI-powered future are literally right now attempting to gut the social safety net for the same country. So, truthfully, I don’t believe a word of it. I think that an AI-powered future is just another ladder that the super-privileged want to climb and then pull up after themselves.
