My hobbies are exercise/sports, playing video games, reading books, building models, and hanging out with friends. I have zero fear of any of those being automated away
The ability to afford to do those activities could be lost. Automation pulls the value previously created by many humans and concentrates it to those who create/maintain the system. As that list of needed people shrinks, so too does the probability of a person being able to create meaningful value.
Sure, that wasn't what the person I was responding to was talking about though
It also drastically reduces the cost to produce whatever's automated and also creates new opportunities.
Wait until it turns out your friends like the AI better than you...and you do too.
