Clarification:

Take, for example, 2027, when humans in offices will be successfully replaced by AI, and robots will begin to replace construction workers and other workers. How terrible do you think it will be after 2030? And how much the level of depression and everything else will increase. I will also add that not everyone will be able to receive unemployment benefits, and some will die of hunger. Let’s be realistic and not console ourselves with rosy fantasies.

    robots will begin to replace construction workers and other workers

    95% of all human labor used to be farming. Automating jobs is how we have gotten the prosperity we have today. Nothing we have done would be possible without automation. Increased productivity is far from a boogeyman, it’s something to be celebrated.

      Devil’s advocate-- the Industrial Revolution has led to heaps of the ‘prosperity’ we moderns have enjoyed, while effectively destroying our future via various forms of pollution, directly because too few heeded caution and considered the importance of sustainability.

      It became all about money at almost every level, and unchecked capitalism is ultimately a tyrant, as we’re now discovering via late-stage capitalism. While the rich get richer and fascism rises around the world, of course.
