Reply to comment by Dyeeguy in How do you guys actually think UBI will work? by MelodiGreig

How will people earn more money? All I can think of are VERY human jobs such as prostitution or in person counseling, etc.

I imagine some jobs will be really hard to automate, or too specific to make it worth it. Perhaps a piano tuner

I imagine some people will prefer humans for many positions, like a nanny for a child, or teachers. People may even pay a premium to interact with humans

And I am sure there will be an increase in entertainment related fields. Film, music, sports, videogames, podcasts etc

Maybe more people can start their own local small businesses leveraging automation and AI

That’s a good answer. I guess there’ll be ways to get more money but not many ways to get a lot more money?
