Vague hand-waving bullshit either written by an AI or the next writer to lose their job to one.
If and when AI is competent enough to replace 50% of the workforce, do you really think it is going to need an equal or greater number of people working full time at jObS tHaT hAvEn'T bEeN iNvEnTeD yET to manage it?
No. We're going to feed the migrant workers to the gators and Generation Brainrot is going to spend the rest of their lives working in the fields and meat packing plants. The 0.1% will see line go up, and the rest of us will get Soylent Green before we get UBI.
AI is already replacing significant parts of the technical workforce. The key is that it doesn't have to successfully replace them. It just has to convince the sociopaths in the C-suites that they can pretend it will so they can layoff masses of employees. That will allow them to collect obscenely large bonuses, sell their stock at a huge profit, and move on to destroying the next round of businesses. Fortunately, the only people this will hurt are, well, us.
