What do you mean, “don’t need to work anymore”? It’s not as if we’re moving towards some Utopian collaboration where humans pursue their deeper, artistic natures while machines do the work. Humans are simply being forced further and further down into the dirt.

There will never be a time for the vast majority of us when we do not need to work. The form that work takes may differ; for example, I may need to forage and hunt for food because human jobs are so scarce that most of us can no longer use them as our form of resource allocation.

AI will likely enslave us. “Evolution, kill the gene” as Grimes says in her song We Appreciate Power. Embrace the singularity and enjoy the taste of dirt.

So far, it would seem that AI has its sights set on the artsy work, not on taking over mining, farming, sanitation, and cleaning. So yeah, we're getting the short end of the stick

I hope we do reach a utopian system.

It’s true, what exactly is work? I guess I’m imagining something where we can summon the resources we want from a magic AI.

Having to forage for food… better or worse than getting a corporate job?
