When it comes to AI, philosophical people often ask "What will happen to people if they lack work? Will they find it hard to find meaning in such a world of abundance?"
But there is a darker side to ...
I imagine that eventually there l will be fewer humans as we commoditize ourselves as well, and the human market adjusts to the decreased demand for people. We are individually very good at seeking to support and uplift the people around us when we do not lack access to the trinity of food, shelter, and security. The corporate mechanisms we’ve created to drive profit over value not so much.
Either we’ll get our heads out of our … out of the sand, look around, and stop trying to extract as much production out of people for the least expense, or we’ll have a number of redundant neighbors unable to shift into a new workforce that can’t afford to employ them compared to the AI worker, and we are left with a Demolition Man situation.
Or maybe we’ll all be really cool to each other in the name of brotherhood and harmony and walk together hand in hand to a brighter future.
