The rich are gonna be the only ones left in the end
As society advances alongside AI and robotics, I see it becoming increasingly common for wealthy people to slowly replace humans with AI for cognitive tasks and with robots for physical labor. It is not quick; they keep it on the down-low, and people, mainly because they think they cannot be replaced—even though they easily could be if an AI does half their job faster and cheaper—claim that it is like the Industrial Revolution and they will find something else to do. Doing what for whose money? If robots are doing physical work and AI does software and thinking, what could be left? Some people think we are going to be artists and be more creative, but how would that earn a living? If even one-third of the workforce gets replaced, that whole third will not have a way to earn money; they will become homeless and slowly die before anything else can change. People are in their own bubble thinking it is not going to be an issue; right now, they want us to have children to contribute to the budget, but what will they do for work? It is already bad enough; imagine not even being able to clean the trash because a robot is cheaper. There is no protection for us; we are doomed as a society and as humanity. We are going to die one by one slowly because if we have a job now, we are not going to think about what will happen to those who do not until we fall into the same bucket.
