So when my youngest ( nearly 28) is my age ( not 28) , if we had made a serious movement towards an AI work force the human work force work week should be getting shorter but would they still get their time's equivlent of 40 hours pay? More? Less?
Would the upward and downwards transfers of wealth and cash continue? Would the country look like utopia or Idiocracy?
Who's answer on a another thread brought this question to mind.

Other jobs would emerge. People would have to have the foresight and drive to learn the new skills and break into new markets.

Then what's the point? If we can't have more leisure time why automate at all? Megacorp profits? Also we don't have enough good jobs as it isOriginally Posted by Peter1469

Do you mean robotics- we have had automation for a long time.
Why bother? Probably because you won't stand in the way of progress. Better figure out how to live with it, or better yet, profit from it.

We already live in an automated world. There will always be plenty of work for people who choose to work. The ones who chose not to should go hungry.

The unemployment rate is 3.8%.
If you don't like any of the available jobs make one yourself.

Sure and let them eat "Cake" while they're at it. A masters degreed person flipping burgers is employed but he is underemployed

What is the master's in? And if that is all the drive that person has, he is destined to be unsuccessful regardless of the circumstances. He will likely be the least productive burger flipper at his McDs.

If you have a worthless masters degree that is on you. Anyone stupid enough to get a worthless masters degree is fully employed making hamburgers.
