The world is changing. AI will replace all work. (cell phone, computers, buy)

I want no part of this type of future. I suppose if the world is to be a tech dominated place where people no longer work, stores are all online and cars drive themselves I will just retreat from the world and live a more isolated life in retirement. I don’t like the way things are going and I think you will find a lot of people from the Gen X or boomer group will feel the same way.
Maybe I can retire as an expat somewhere and get away from this…..not every country will be going in this direction.
Too many unemployed people and they will either vote to tax AI heavily and do something like UBI, maybe sabotage it or attack the people who are getting rich off of it.

I would also say older millennials like me will eschew this, too. We started using computers young but it was a floppy disk and DOS prompts. I had my own first computer when I entered college in 2001. But online classes weren’t really a thing yet, it was mostly for writing papers and registering for classes. Contrast that with now where I both work and go to school online (second bachelors).
Smart phones weren’t a thing…I got a brick cell phone for emergencies when I started driving. A flip phone with old school texting around the time I got married. Smart phones didn’t come out till I was maybe 25.
My point is that those of us who remember a life where we weren’t attached to tech at the hip (and didn’t have parents modeling such) are not inclined to just turn life over to computers. I’m working hard to teach my kids that tech is a tool and not the end all/be all of our way of life. A world that is even less personal than it is now, but with big tech knowing everything and tracking our every tiny move in daily life, it’s not a world I want.
it’s so dumb to think so simplistically that it’s gonna be all ai for everything. i won’t even bother with getting into the weeds for such a silly premise

There won't be any rich people, only the poor. The rich will tumble down into poverty with the rest since no one will be able to afford to buy their products and services.
UBI is the only solution with all AI working and controlled by a socialist government. The future at its best (or worst). Everyone becomes an entitled snowflake.

Old people from every generation, going all the way back to the beginnings of human history, have spoken these exact words. The world moves on anyway. It always has and always will. May as well embrace it.

Actually, this is not simplistic at all. Just a natural progression of technology and it is completely achievable. The only question is when not if.
