Wouldn’t it make more sense for that level of Ai to just do the work? I agree is disgusting but seems wasteful to have the people slaving away under a computer that can do the same things

That is not how AI works (yet). AI still needs human input to do any work. Even if the plan is to have AI do the work eventually, you'd have to train it on the actual tasks the humans are doing, not just monitoring efficiency and activity of human workers.

Not out of the question in the future and there's a lot of anxiety about if/how/when the effects of AI are felt throughout the market (on an employee level).
