I wonder if AI also reveals unnecessary parts of the workforce by demonstrating that what they do is actually pretty trivial.
There are a ton of basically BS office jobs that could probably be replaced by AI, or in some cases just revealed as superfluous.
We need to just stop pretending we still need a 1:1 connection between employment and income and do UBI. Useless jobs help us preserve the illusions of a pre-post-industrial civilization. Instead of just paying people, we pay people to do work we don't need.
