If they're not, they should be.
> Will you still say it's great when it is the society as a whole?
Yes. A world in which menial tasks are taken care of by computers is a wonderful idea.
The important part is that our society needs to transform around that. If all capital accrues to the owners of the AI, then we'll have a problem. If we remake society so that everyone shares in the success, that's a very different idea.
I agree with this. Do you see this happening in our society today? Do you even see an effort for doing this?
That's not the trend though. We're approaching a world where all tasks are taken care off by computers (excluding those that don't have sufficiently adept robots).
You're sitting with the idea that "I'll be the ideas guy, and the AI will do the design, art, coding, accounts, contracts, reviews, support and everything else so I have to employ no one at all".
When labour has no value, who on earth are you planning to sell to? The potential customer has no money anyway, because labour has no value.
