If we find that humans without work experience existential despair, AI might discreetly create numerous artificial jobs to maintain societal stability. These jobs, designed to appear meaningful, would be akin to a child playing with a toy kitchen set, with AI orchestrating this societal illusion. This concept builds on David Graeber's "bullshit jobs" theory, where a third of white-collar workers admit their jobs serve no real purpose. The AI-driven scenario extends this current situation to prevent the negative effects of joblessness.
