    AI has the potential to make most work optional in the long run. Humans have the potential to not use this for a global, eternal vacation full of rich experiences and artistic expression, but a reason to let everyone die that is not needed anymore

      Automation does. Not AI. We can automate work but a language model will not take away the work just the communication.

      This is literally the only realistic outcome I expect of this. Capitalists will claim the right to the entirety of the profits generated because they “own” the AI, will have by then already destoryed any social safety nets in order to have their taxes reduced, and people who can’t find work will be left to die.
