No need to wait, the future is now. I've already seen huge gains in income and work-life balance by spending time automating my workflow.

I hope that by "trickle down to the workers" you aren't talking about technically illiterate workers who are not actively contributing to the automation effort. Unfortunately, they will receive some benefits as well, which is completely undeserved.

I'm talking about every single human being who has been brought into this world through no fault of their own and deserves our empathy on that point alone.

Sure, most of us have used copilot or other AI tools and seen some benefit. But there's a point of no return where suddenly those tools are able to do the other things we think only we can.

What happens then?
