Imagine the economic situation we would be in if the majority of jobs became obsolete in a few years' time.
The whole civilization would crumble, possibly hundreds of millions would perish in starvation.
How on earth would that be useful for mankind? I think these predictions are silly.
"I don't think it's a threat. I think it's a benefit. People can find better things to do with their life than work for a living... Pretty much every job involving paperwork should be automatable."
How the fuck does he expect me to pay rent. Sure there might be some things I'd rather do than work, but uhh that work allows me to do those things.
