There actually isn't that much work to be done, anymore, as all branches are highly mechanized and roboticized, already. At least, in wealthy countries.
Unemployment will just go up. We are moving to a world without work, but with UBI.
The ethical battle is already increasingly the Working Minority angry that they are expected to labor and pay for the benefit of the Unworking Majority.
I literally have two full-time jobs, and am a volunteer, and most people around me don't do either.
Soon, even more won't do either and I will do even more.
I don't know where we're headed or how humanity will adapt, but I believe we will adapt. We always do. It's one of the strongest features of our species.
Yeah, but the oddity is that I'm also the sort of person who does well when I have no paid work to do, as I can keep myself busy all day. I was a full-time homemaker for 5 years, and I was even more busy.
Some people are just industrious, by Nature. They don't need to be paid to be active. Take the pay away and we all find out who those people are, again, while everyone else becomes a pod person.
It's a new, evolutionary bottleneck, I suppose.
I appreciate your optimism. But ….. I think we are at a time where AI can be used well by humans. But when the top 1% can replace humans with AI and robots.. for jobs- and needs- many will … what then? Real question - real concern.
Lovely to see how the conversation branched off when I said that a random guy on internet who uses such tools intensely admits they are taking my comments too seriously but yeah let's pretend that I said AI is a dehumanizing tool
