Whether we reach AGI or not the implications of what we already have are staggering once they are fully deployed.
All customer service jobs - GONE
Dramatically less need for assistances in medical and law.
Dramatically less need for child care, teaching, farming, yard work, house keeping, elder care, etc.
We are going to see a dramatic decrease in needed humans for gainful employment.
I would like to point out that neither business nor government have a plan to replace those jobs that are going to disappear in the next 10-20 years nor do we have any industries that are able to scale up and absorb available workers.
The impact on individual lives as well as the economy due to decreased consumption and massive defaults on car, home, and personal loans as well as the increase in homelessness and the stress on the social safety net will create a perfect storm if something is not put in place to redistribute the economic power of those businesses who replace human labor with automated labor.
And to be honest, they need to. It will dramatically most all aspects of the businesses that implement it. BUT,
Humans have to be cared for and must be considered first before the enrichment of business due to the ability to eliminate human labor. This is not negotiable. It can't be.
The outcome will be massive civil unrest if we try to do it any other way.
Massive civil unrest that will lead to civil war and if the US goes into civil war we will be fighting an unwinnable war on three fronts. Russia will invade from the East, and China from the west. Meanwhile our security forces will be fighting an internal war against their friends, their families, their neighbors, and their fellow citizens of the nation. And I'm betting that few in our military will be willing to kill people who are homeless and starving just so a minority class can get even richer.
Most people are not that heartless.
