There's so much narrative around current society how AI is terrible for taking jobs away.
That's the entire point! That's good! We're supposed to not need to do anything anymore with advancing technology.
The problem isn't that technology takes jobs away, the problem is that the savings are converted into more profit for the ultra rich, while it should be converted into having to work less for everyone.
Nobody is against not having to work. People are against not having work in a world where you need work to survive.
There are a lot of people that are against not having to work. All people that own capital, which is not only the super rich. They might not want to work themselves, but they definitely want it to be generally the case that people should have to work to survive. And many people without capital that are brainwashed by these kinds of people, also want it to be necessary.
