    Your argument is suicidal with all of the forethought of a small child playing with firearms. So you do think atomic warfare is a good thing. Progress must go forward and all.

    You say you work in AI? How so?

    In any case, once all “dehumanizing jobs” are eliminated (how is driving a taxi “dehumanizing”?) and even you, as you said, are “happily” replaced, what will you do? What will be your purpose in life? Graze? Taking this idea further, why would an intelligent, homeostatic system such as future AI even support you?

    AI today — such as ChatGPT, StableDiffusion, etc. — is still a toy, again “merely” choosing the mostly correct combinations from a very large list. You should know that since you work in AI. We’re still at the automaton stage. It still can’t do consistent video. Hell, it still can’t do hands reliably. But again, advances are rapidly being made. Baby steps towards our evolution into the Eloi.
