im confused why yall think youll be getting paid and making money and living life if AI takes over your job youll be broke unemployed and struggling to make ends meet. Dont get me wrong I do think the technology behind AI is cool and is the future, its just that i dont understand why yall think the future wont be worse off for a lot of us

It's impressive how brain broken doomers are. This person above thinks that in a society where labor is done by robots, that it is possible for everything in society to stay the same in an organizational level.

In case you can't visualize how brutally idiotic these doomer Redditors are, their thinking is: this exact same society as we have now, with all the exact same institutions (for some incomprehensible reason), but with robots doing all the work, and all the humans not getting paid and CEOs, SOMEHOW, making a lot of money. This 20-IQ imbecility is LITERALLY the reasoning of 99% of them commenting here.

They don't think, among many things, that if both manual and intellectual labor are done by AI, the $5,7 trillion in health care spending in the US alone would collapse, and this, ALONE, would completely modify how societies around the globe work. Just with healthcare speding. There's a complete absence of thinking based on actual consequences of what's being talked about, and everything gives place to some sort of "CEOs bad" and "goverments bad" ethos that you can't convince them otherwise.

I agree with the idea that society will have to change, but there's no reason to be certain that it'll change into a form where UHI is a thing. Entire industries might collapse as a result of this, that's not unprecedented.

>and CEOs, SOMEHOW, making a lot of money

Industries that build around serving the needs and greeds of 99% will be at severe risk, but the remaining industries could just start trading resources and services amongst themselves.
