    AI will make immense progress and all jobs that require a computer will be handed over to AI and robots. There will be hardly any middle managers left. People will do manual or personal stuff that robots cannot do.

    Depending on who owns the AI, the distribution of wealth decides which jobs are available. I would bet on a small group of people who are going to decide what humanity will do.

    The problem is that AI requires energy. At one point, the decision has to be made whether energy is used for bricks or bytes. Bytes will be prefered so most people will live in tiny rooms.

    Since there is not much work to be done, and energy is expensive, people will spent most of their time doing something energy-efficient. Cities will be built for walking distances.

      This is the ultimate failure of capitalism, an autonomous Workforce should mean that we are all free to live our lives. Instead it just means that we won’t be able to eat.

        That depends on you. The ones who create the future decide who will be able to eat.

        The funny part is that the free humans already take all the resources and create all the scarcity. Why should that change when AI allows people to be more free? AI won’t solve any social problems.
