> I truly think because of the pace of innovation this will be a universal feeling for every human for the rest of existence.

Why would it be? Imagine a man who is a student in a kollel in Kiryas Joel. He spends his day studying the Torah, Tanach, Mishnah, Talmud, the Mishneh Torah, the Shulchan Aruch, the Zohar, etc. Then at night he goes home to his wife and 12 kids.

Do you think he experiences "purpose death"? Do you think his wife does? Do you think his children will? Do you think AI is going to make them start?

If anything, AI might make his lifestyle more economically sustainable than it was before – if nobody works because AI has taken all the jobs, and everyone gets paid universal basic income, he is no longer faced with the arduous struggle of supporting a large family as a full-time student.

And there's nothing specific to Judaism about this – I'm sure in some seminary in Qom, you'll find the Usuli Twelver Shi'a analogue.
