So, i was reading through some posts on this subreddit and i've also seen alot of ai people talk about this before, why are people fantasizing so much about not having to work?
I feel like a ton of people are literally living to work because they just like it, if we had nothing to do what's even the point of living?
While many people hate their jobs there is still a ton of them that actually love what they're doing, if we took it away from them wouldn't it massively increase depression rates? I've seen a ton of people say stuff like ''If we don't have to work we can just focus on the stuff we want to do!'' But the counterpoint to that is that overtime people will just get bored doing the creative stuff unless they have a burning passion for it, I'm doing 3d art for like 2 years now and i really enjoy it but i feel like i would go absolutely insane if i didn't have a job on the side or at least made money from my 3d art, sitting all the time in home or going to parties everyday simply sounds dystopian to me.
While i'm not the most educated person to speak on this topic this is just speculation at the end of the day, AI might stagnate at some point and not improve any further or AI might actually solve all of these problems. Only time can tell afterall.
