We haven’t yet made an AI that can replace anyone’s job, so it might be better to hold off on resigning ourselves to that fate.

It doesn't have to be AI. automation has already made a lost of jobs trivial or irrelevant, which is why we are so productive as a species and yet still do 40hr weeks.

Try searching for the theory of "bullshit jobs". It's all just patchwork to keep global capitalism based economy going in circles.
