Im definitely on the side that over using AI and using it commercially seems to be bad. On the other hand, it seems like a tech that has huge potential upsides. I’m not sure we can achieve a post scarcity society with all labor being done by humans. This is where I see AI becoming a massive tool. Assuming we can pair it with mechanical means of work, not strictly digital. I know it’s a touchy subject but I want to hear your opinion. As always, if you’re just going to tell me to read more, recommend literature.

    I don’t think it will contribute to a post scarcity society. Increased automation only makes the marginal cost of working less bigger so we as a species tend to chhose to work the same hours to afford more cool stuff.

    I think that (and have successfully used) AI can automate boring, repetitive stuff.

      In its current state but I imagine it will continue to improve. When the automation is so wide spread that majority of jobs are obsolete we will have to evolve.
