If an AI suddenly eliminated the need to work? Tomorrow?

It would give me a moment to breathe. To think. To rest.

I would be a better son, and spend more time with and appreciating my aging parents.

I would be a better friend, more able to lend a hand whenever they need it, no matter if it's big or small.

I would be a better neighbour, and actually have the energy to pay attention to what's happening in my community.

I could finally concentrate on my personal pursuits guilt-free, realize meaningful life goals, be free to learn and explore a greater spectrum of the human experience, without the constant threat of destitution hanging over my head, without having to ask myself "can I make money doing this?"

I would read, I would create, I would share, I would help. But most of all, I would finally be able to breathe. And rest.
