    You are saying destroyed, as if the job itself is a service. Work is cost not value. You automate work so you can use your energy in more valuable ways (best case scenario having a good time and caring for eachother).

    The fruits of automation being distributed unfairly is another story. Inequality is a political reality, not a technical one.

    However luckily this problem will be shortlived probably since we end up like bugs compared to AI real fast…

      Maybe I’m just high… but I’m confused about your point. I’m just referring to what capitalism has done over and over. Technology does destroy jobs… Yes it also creates them but can that continue forever?

      That doesn’t apply to art, though. Artists enjoy their job and are grateful that they can earn a living by doing it, so the job is the service.

      This would not be a problem if we actually had an UBI-like system or the cost of basic living was near zero, but apparently we like getting rid of solutions before finding better ones.
