Agreed but that is a different problem. Ai is taking away opportunity to make effort.
Like it or not there are people who can only do jobs that aren't worth much either by choice or ability and they are usually the ones that need the most social help and we need this.
One step up from there are a lot of desk jobs, measuring jobs, some creative jobs that required more ability and/or effort that often benefited from the human touch, like customer service, that can be replaced by Ai but nobody has ever said it is done better, maybe not even cheaper. If a job doesn't take much skill and anyone can be plugged into it an trained, you are always at risk, now more so than ever.
Programming is a higher level highly skilled job that benefits from the human understanding but can actually be augmented by Ai but still needs human design and oversight. It sounds like it's already being misused by the lazy to replace themselves. I like Ai to check my syntax, grammar, and spelling for basic tasks, I don't ask it to do my work for me but the predictive text and phone keyboards tend to mess up what I am trying to type or say. It's a tool not a replacement for thinking.
A lot of jobs exist digitally in sort of a fake world set up in finance and computing where people can do things without moving. That already removes much from the human experience. Some hope we will have more time for being creative and human without jobs but not having a need to do something does not make people happy. The entire human experience has been about survival and now basic needs are met and we create that purpose in that fake online world where many of us work but if we lost it, it wouldn't necessarily be bad. Now Ai can manage much of that and that sounds terrible to anyone who considers what that means.
For people who still exist and work in the real world, they will be managed by Ai middle management, dispatched, told what to do, measured, by a computer somewhere and probably also replaced by a robot at some point. All our resources and electricity to go towards making products cheaper and selling robots and Ai bots to people who can't afford any of it because they don't have jobs. It will start at the bottom and work it's way up but Ai is the first disruption to really reach so far up the food chain while decimating the market for itself.
