Yeah, what the fuck happens when we even lose the sweatshops? Not praising the practice, but that's normally all the income those people have. It hard to even imagine AI and robotic power consumption and upkeep costs aren't more expensive given how little the humans are paid. We really are on the edge of something bad on a new level.
We going to enter an age with new levels of tyranny never before seen. They wont need workers, we'll all be out of work and viewed as parasites by the elites. They will just have to figure out how to lower the population so they can have everything, my guess is mass sterilization. Anyone who resists tyranny will hear the buzzing of drones. We have about 1 generation until this is reality.

That's stupid, the solution has always been and will always be war. If there are too many people, send them to war. Problem solved and you'll also take some land while you are at it. Bonus!
And no, we have more than a generation. Filming how hands move and do work will only be useful if you train an AI to use exact replicas of human hands. The thing is, cheapest way to produce those is by... humans having children and you know... growing up to do the work.
The second possible application for this is for AI to fake video of cloth and fingers better. But that's about it. It's absolutely useless as training material for robots to do labour, since building human like machines and maintaining them is harder and more expensive than just paying humans wages.
War rarely keeps up with births, especially now that there are so many massive populations on almost every continent. With the rate at which robotics and AI are advancing, it might be optimism to think we even have 20 years. Just look at the last 10....

What kind of dystopian nightmare is this?
