You seem lost, /u/Clarkeprops

The point of this subreddit (r/singularity) is that AI will one day be smarter than humans. What happens to society after that? We’re here to speculate. The current version of society is kind of irrelevant.

It’s not. And there will ALWAYS be work for humans to do. What that is will shift, but jobs will always be a thing. Even in a world like iRobot where all menial tasks are covered, there will be PLENTY for humans to do. Being lazy is and always has been lamentable. There is a way for you to contribute to the society you choose to live in, and opting out makes you a shitty person. Volunteer, make art, care for the elderly, make things for people. Design better ways to do things. Be an activist for change.

All those things are jobs, and not helping out makes you shitty and devoid of value.
