        Humanity: yes, let’s replace all of the above. 100% unemployment rate is the only way to go.

          Honestly 100% unemployed becuase we have a good universal income system or something would be great. But sadly it looks like we’re in a different timeline :(

        Narrator: And that, folks, is how we got the Utopia we live in, by replacing all the work with AI, and letting people enjoy their lives

          Haha. No. Nothing so hopeful. The rich people will get even richer and everyone that used to be working class and middle class die a slow death.

            Now I wander what would happen if only rich people would survive and I’m sure somebody has already written an sf book about that

              Yeah. That’s (arguably) the background scenario to Asimov’s book “The Naked Sun” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Naked_Sun

              Edit: Ooh, Django already gave a cooler link to the same: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/10729278

              Took me a while to track it down, but I think this is the book to which you were referring.

              I make no cleans about the stances of this artist; I just saw this strip years ago.

      Considering that C-suite executives are usually fantastically expensive, they’d be a logical position to automate (assuming AI worked like suits think it does). For some veeeery strange reason no board of directors has suggested replacing themselves with AIs

        It’d be super easy to replace Sam Altman with a bot that spits out keywords known to increase OpenAI shares.

        Waitaminute… Sam alt-man?

          It’s almost like the rules don’t apply to the moneyed class
