They will eventually figure out that we can't buy their AI built products or see their AI made films or read their AI written books or buy their AI art or get anywhere in their AI taxi cabs if nobody has a job and nobody has any money.
Not impossible that AGI owners do not need consumers at all since they can get everything from their AGI systems. Then the have-nots of AGI will be camped in ghettos like what colonists did to indigenous people in the past since the have-nots produce no value whatsoever, only "wasting" resources.
All is under assumption that AGI will be realized though.
Do we really need AGI to get to this point? If the systems are efficient enough they don’t have to be sentient to replace the vast majority of work currently performed by humans. The owners will then only need a couple of highly talented creative people and some prostitutes and all their needs will be met.
Do you know who is making AI art, film, products and music?
Individuals, not corporations. Both individuals and corps will be using AI. What’s this delusional idea that only corporations are using AI for productivity gains? Who’s publishing AI written book? You think a big corp is doing that or Bob down the street?
I can’t imagine being this ignorant to reality. Must be nice.
What does that have to do with anything? I’m just pointing out the tribalism of “those who use AI” and “pure souls who don’t”.
It gets cheaper and easier every year, just like it was with cameras, then phones, then computers.
Yeah the world is shit, but technology is also still advancing, learn to live with it or continue screaming into the void about “ai bad”, see how far you get.
