I think we’re in a bit of a renaissance period honestly. For the wealthy elite, it likely will be significantly better, pushing their wealth and status even higher. We’re already seeing that. For everyone else, we’ll see increasing economic inequality and a return to hard manual labor which will likely be a significant destabilizing factor.

The average person’s life was arguably not better after other revolutionary periods. The back breaking labor after the agricultural revolution; not better. The high pollution and dangerous manual labor after the industrial revolution; not better.

Will AI have similar outcomes? Remains to be seen.
