No, we're not going to reach that point outside of sci-fi utopias. I don't believe even the 4-day workweek is going to become a thing. Any increase in productivity will be captured by the owners, it makes no sense to give it back to the workers in the form of free time.

Comrade, what about the A.I. already doing some of our work? I recently read only the title of an article here that pointed out that drawing leaves less of a carbon footprint when it is done by the A.I. It is not a long way from there to getting paid for not going to work. This is how A.I. kills you (3x), not with a laser gun, but with a lullaby.

My carbon footprint while writing code is 100% lower than that of the AI, I would reckon by magnitudes

There's an unfortunate mistake there

> Any increase in productivity will be captured by s/the owners/society/

The population will grow to the limits set by our productivity.
