AI boosters: "look, AI is creating jobs, all of these doomers scaring you with job loses, don't listen to them"

also AI boosters: "we are going to build a million robots, and the robots will build factories producing robots, there will be infinite abundance, nobody will need to work anymore"

> there will be infinite abundance

Maybe.

> nobody will need to work anymore

If we define "nobody" as very wealthy people who partake in that abundance while everyone else ... goes away.

When AI gets that good, a solar panel can power a pile of motors and gears to move and do work for you that previously required humans. You won't need the job, you need to solve your necessities more directly. And that job is a good fit for the AI that was so good it put you out of a job.

So... robots build shit that the wealthy who own the robots can profit from it and I need to ... what? ... go grow my own potatoes if I want to live?

Okay...

		Own your robot, it will cost less than a car.

First of all, cite them. Second of all, on which time scale, are they both talking about the near, mid or long terms?
