You are all free to agree or disagree. It's just my opinion, and I'd be interested to hear about yours
on this subject.

I personally believe that people (in large part) will no longer work for money. A.I. and automation will do that for each of you. Since your income will be all automated, you will be free to spend most of your free time to "work" on the things that you really want to do (your passions/dreams/goals) and things that will also contribute / benefit the society and world as a whole. We will be free from having to spend 80% of our life just working to make money, but instead spend only 20% of our time doing that and 80% spent on just living life and enjoying it (personal growth, experiences, contributing to and improving society and the world/humankind).

Imagine all the things on this forum like CPA, Affiliate marketing, blogging, vlogging, content creation, website building, ecommerce, banking/investing, you name it, can all be done by an A.I. worker that most human beings will be able to have (the wealthier I suppose you could have many A.I. workers) and they would take care of 80-90% of all your business/earnings through automation. You will no longer need human brokers, human assistants, human writers, designers, managers, programmers, marketers, etc....that will all be taken care of by your A.I. agent(s). Some people will have more A.I. workers than others....so we would still the so-called "rich" or those who have more but in a different way...they would have more A.I. workers/systems and higher levels of it, while the average citizen might have just 1 or 2 A.I. workers in the middle of the pack. A.I. bots/agents/workers will have a hierarchy, so not all of them are made equal.

But in essence, this will free the majority of the human population from spending most of their lives working for money as it will mostly be an automated future, and we will exist for other reasons, no longer just to work, put food on the table and pay the bills. We are trying to figure out more efficient ways (optimizing technology and knowledge) to make money.

In a sense, that is what we are doing now (or trying to do)......
 
It's already started man what are messenger bots for?

Crazy inboxing rate
 
Let's create an automated article spinner that actually works first.

We will see about what you stated in the future.
 
Most office jobs in america or anywhere else really involve doing simple spreadsheets and replying to emails with information that can be automated.

Lots of my peers are sitting in a office pumping out numbers on a spreadsheets and reports with a $50k 4 year Degree. I don't get it lol.

All it takes is a good reporting software or AI like you mentioned and the whole industry of office clerks could be replaced.
 
self-driving cars are here.....if we can entrust human lives into the hands of automated self-driving cars, then I'm pretty sure automation is not that far off from being able to handle
processing orders for you so that you can just relax on a beach getting a nice tan while the money grows in your bank account. Yes, I don't think real A.I. is that close, but A.I. technology (smart technology?) is already here and being used in most businesses now, but in conjunction with human workers. But automation for the average citizen should become more accessible and easily than it ever was in the past when it comes to making money. In many other ways, if you think about it, we've already handed over a lot of daily chores and manual labor to automation, things like microwaves, dishwashers, laundry machines, all the stuff we do on computers in large part automation/computations, our cars, our homes being automated (climate control, command functions, etc.), elevators/escalators, i mean everything is in some way shape or form being handed over to automation...many things that used to take a lot of effort, time, energy, sacrifice, now can be done at the push of a button. So why not money? Automated income.
 
Well all the newly unemployed then homeless people will lead to serious crime anywhere in the world so do not beg for AI to take over all the jobs!!
 
The history of humanity is based on the economics of production. If you apply the Marxist superstructure to automation/robotics you will see that the end of manual economic production is the end of human history ergo transhumanism.

precisely. I do not wish for it and have always warned against such rapid advancement ...something I called "Escalation Theory" that I've carried with me for about 20 years.
But it is clear that the direction we are heading towards is an end of humanity as we understand it currently, and ushering in an evolution of sorts or call it transhumanism....we are becoming less human every day. In fact, the lines will be so blurred eventually that we will struggle to even define what human means anymore. Genetic DNA manipulation (shopping for genes), cybernetics, fusion between flesh and machine, neural link, all of these things will literally alter everything we have come to know and understand about what it means to be human and the course of human history. This is why we will not be working for money anymore. Money (if it is even still around) will become an afterthought because it will be automated and it won't be near the top of our agenda's like it is now, hence the rat race and most being trapped in it. It is proven that when people are released from the stresses and focus of just making money and paying bills grinding most of their lives in a job, new potential is unleashed and humanity is able to focus it's creativity, imagination, energy, resources into other things....which in a sense all contributes to the "quickening". Of course, we are still in the very early stages of it and it's very slow process relative to what it will one day be, even though today does seem so much faster (because we are comparing it to our past).
 
I do not want this to happen but I know somewhere that you are right.
 
AI & automation will first hit service jobs. Drivers (taxi / truck / bus / Uber / Lyft) will be mostly eliminated within next 20 years. Construction jobs will be gone and replaced by robots as they are already some robots that can lay bricks for a full house in under 48 hours working 24/7. Accountants will be replaced by software, some medical work will be done by AI and many other professions will be effected. There is no way out of it and the only professions that will be safe are for manufacturing / repair / support of AI / automation. So if someone is working in IT field now I would be on the look out for new AI certifications within a few years, if you're one of the first ones you can grab one of the first available jobs.

My plan to combat future AI & automation is to continue making money, continue getting more real estate and rental income. When the eventual will come I be on the look out for new business opportunities with money I will already have. If for example some day someone will invent a AI self operating food truck and there would be an option to buy it I would jump on it. I want to own AI that is a threat to others but for me it will earn me income instead.
 
I think also the same, but there are a lot of social issues that need to be arranged as soon as possible before going to the next level of Civilization.
Kardashov mentioned we are still in level zero, and most of civilization fail in that transition.

There are also some of social designs like The Venus Project which I personally think is a good idea and cannot wait to live in those kind of cities, check this out:
 
Op how old are you ? I think you are living in an illusion world...
Though. Western countries try to do what you outlined here in som way, Hiring Indians and 3rd world workes to work so the native people could enjoy lives lol.
