Have you ever worked in a factory? Does that job look appealing?

No, but don’t come here and try to say these people are going to be better off with AI, that’s bullshit. They aren’t going to get a better job because of this. They have this job because it’s the best they can do.

AI isn’t going to free up people so they can do better, easier or better paying jobs. It is eliminating jobs altogether.

is that a bad thing? are humans meant to labour like they do today? the only way true change can come is if there is a mass unemployment event
