This is, in the long run, the wrong take. What we should want is not for the human to have the *job* but for the human to have the *resources*. Once we have strong ai we have enough resources for every human to just be a painter or a saxophonist or whatever and not worry about sitting in an office.

Many years of suffering through people pretending that it does anything *actually* useful for the average person
What is the magic process by which the conversion of jobs into AI suddenly produces the "resources" for the now-jobless to stay alive, let alone thrive and play saxophone?
Who waves the magic wand and bestows UBI on us all?
The oligarchs who would control this "strong AI" (if it ever happens) would use it to replace millions of workers. And they have shown no inclination whatsoever to share their AI-generated profits with these millions of newly unemployed.
What's it like not understanding how capitalism works despite living under it your entire life?
Obviously capital exerts huge political influence to force resources upward

AI is currently being designed to REPLACE artists, not enable them.
ai is snakeoil horseshit and it's crowning achievement has been to make computers lie,
there will never not be a need for human beings to perform labor
but replacing email guy isn't going to make picking crops or butchering meat or treating sicknesses or building houses, or anything real and vital to human survival suddenly not need laborers
We already have all the resources - they are in the hands of few and will be in the hands of even fewer.
Nothing to do with AI which will only make it infinitely worse
ai isn't the solution to a problem
...then what the fuck makes you think "Strong AI" is gonna be different?
BEGGING you to think about shit before you post
who owns that infrastructure?
are you literally stupid or what brah
blink twice if you understand the problem
IMO it is 100% unnecessary
Examples of people with tons of resources and no need to earn more do not instill confidence in this class of citizen.
It hasn’t happened even though productivity and resources have shot through the roof.
post scarcity cannot exist in this world, star trek isn't real my dude
Ai like the robot or the cotton gin, promises the worker more money with less work and all it ever does it line the bosses pockets.
Unions and good contracts are the answer not more tech.
It will never be a means to easing workers actual lives, as long as profit driven bosses own it.
Life beyond work is a great goal but will never happen until workers have way more power first.
Not only is this utopic ideal extremely unlikely from its base premise, but AI has not progressed us down this path and there's no reason to think it ever will.
Better pour 100 billion more dollars into it cuz it maybe might help workers in the future maybe but probably not.
