AI should replace you and it already is

Having jobs for jobs sake is stupid and one of the goals of technology should be making human labor of any kind obsolete.

Tying work to your ability to thrive in society will bite us hard in the future. It is already starting to sink it's teeth into us now, and people are panicked about their jobs going away.

Most articles you read online are written by AI. Most jobs that took entire buildings full of people are now done by 1 person on a computer, and a months worth of work is completed in an hour.

AI replacing jobs is the natural progression of technology. The wheel replaced haulers. Irrigation replaced water gatherers. Farming replaced gatherers. The steam engine replaced millions of jobs. The cotton gin replaced people processing cotton by hand. The computer replaced thousands of job titles. AI is simply the next step. All human progress has been in the aim of reducing labor and increasing output, and in the process, you take thousands of sometimes millions of people's jobs and free them up for other needs. Those needs get automated, and the process repeats. This ends in all labor being done by machines.

We have tied the ability to feed, clothe, and shelter ones self directly to employment, and that worked up to a point. We have been beyond that point for decades.

We need to move on from this antiquated societal structure. Decouple the ability to live from employment. We are not ants in an ant hill. We are better than that. If we don't solve this problem (and global warming doesn't wipe us out first) It will be the end of us.
