gollark: Unless they're really cool robot overlords.
gollark: No.
gollark: Historically technological advances have at least eventually replaced lost jobs (not that I think jobs created/lost is a good way to judge innovations) but I suppose you could argue that AI is different somehow. It definitely would be if AI stuff started being able to make more AI stuff, but you would probably run into bigger issues than high unemployment then.
gollark: It also seems unlikely that we would suddenly jump from the current situation where a bit of stuff is automated and quite a lot isn't to everyone being immediately unemployed, so you can notice and do stuff about it in the interval. Restructure the economy for post-material-scarcity or whatever. No idea how that would *work* but oh well.
