A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

The trillion dollar problem is paying billions of pesky workers to work

I think that's the obvious implication of this question, but you're missing the implied question arising from that answer: is this a problem we want to solve in this way ?

Yes? But it's the same problem as all automation - the majority of the surplus goes to the business owner, not the workers.

In a better society, we'd be saying "hooray, now I'll have more free time!"
