alt Hacker NewsYou think people are going to stop watching celebrities and influencers just because there are AIs and robots?
Do you think people will stop dating, trying to impress mates, buying luxury, etc.? Neither candlelight dinner to a robot no a Dior manufactured by robots have the same allure. There's a huge industry around this.
Sports aren't going to go away. Huge industry.
People aren't going to stop making art. I know a ton of artists who have embraced AI that are doing even bolder work using the tools. (I was a filmmaker pre-AI, and I know a lot of people in this field.)
People aren't going to stop traveling. And consuming. And eating human food and consuming human experiences.
There are going to be all new kinds of businesses and opportunities that spring up. OpenAI and Anthropic are not going to be the only two employees. They won't be staffed by only agents.
The economy cannot just transition over night, or even within a few years, to quickly absorb a labor shock the size you're describing.
Also, you have not addressed how we're going suddenly to develop the robots required for your future.
>and consuming human experiences.
Consumption requires money. If AI is going to massively impact employment, that reduces the amount of people in the economy capable of consuming these "human experiences".
